    No. The 970 is about 86% faster than the 1050, and 64% faster than the 1050 Ti.
    The 1070 is about 56% faster than the 970.

    My "gaming" mouse is so sensitive that as i walk into my room and hence the floorboards shake a little bit and this moves the mouse enough for it to turn on the monitors!

    Add a monitor stand onto it that can hinge over the bedside. Then, you don't even have to get out of bed to play some controller based games.

    Turns out the laptop can rest on the bulge on the back of the monitor (where the mainboard is). Leaving the desk free while putting my notes in a more ergonomic position.

    Use Duck Dynasty Duck Tape. But seriously, use some glue, like super glue (I guess), or glue that works on plastic/metal. It's just something crazy probably.

    Personally I think laptops look cleaner without 'em.

    True... but the sensation of running fingers over them when I'm stressed isn't there anymore. Plus, the laptop looks...well, too original...

    Not to mention when the stickers start getting old and worn around the edges.

    That's when I try to preserve them kind of how they do in museums... not touching them. I do have to agree, they do get a little annoying when they wear.

    Doesn't really bother me either way. It's not like the I7 sticker is particularly obnoxious.

    The reflective part is fun though.

    Sure?...
    But I tend to spend my time looking at the screen, not the stickers. Since the screen is where the fun stuff happens.

    lol. Yeah... To be honest, I usually find the stickers to be one of the most fun parts of the laptop especially when I'm waiting. Or listening to Spotify. (That's why I like Intel...no) I don't look at them when I'm having fun. (on the screen)

    Just did that yesterday. I feel more comfortable after that.
    At least my laptop is still an i7 inside with Nvidia graphics. ;)

    I think the less I know about you having fun on the screen the better xD
