Old Town Road (AKA The "Hob is a Horse Girl" Fic)
By @arialerendeair and all art by @amielot (Art Masterpost!!)
Chapter: 1/?
Pairing: Dream/Hob
Rating: Explicit
Art featured in this Chapter: The Circus Posters
Summary: Hob helps to rescue Dream - a rare Unicorn Centaur from a decade of captivity at the hands of Roderick Burgess.
Dream is injured, and severely malnourished, and over the next few weeks as he heals and grows stronger - he and Hob grow closer.
When Dream sets off to return to his home, Hob accompanies him, and the two of them grow closer and closer, until they find themselves unwilling to let each other go.
Will they manage to find their happily ever after together?
(It's me, of course they will - just an adventure or seven first!)
~!~!~!~
(Chapter Preview!)
Hob had done his fair share of odd jobs over the years (and far more that he wasn't willing to admit to in polite company), especially in the last five or so, but working for a Circus was a new one.  Had a hell of a lot of benefits though.  Burgess, the man running the place - hadn't asked anything about his background or where he'd come from, had asked if he was willing to work hard, keep his mouth shut, and shovel shit, and had hired him on the spot when he'd said yes.  
(He'd done far worse jobs for far less money.  Nothing was bad if you could find the bright sides in it.  Even shoveling shit.)  
Now, of course, he'd done the smart thing and set about making friends.  There were all sorts that worked for Burgess.  Some that he kept his distance from (having a few vicious friends wasn't a reason to hate a man, but it meant Hob kept his head down and away from the Ringmaster and owner of the place), but many others he made friends with by virtue of conversation.  It'd always been something he was good at, making friends, and relaxing people as they chatted together.  Made even easier by the fact that he'd traveled a lot and was open to traveling more and working long hours.  
Within a few weeks, he was picking up additional jobs and working in several different areas of the circus.  He didn't sleep much, but the additional money he made under the table helping out each of the different bosses was worth it.  Something he stuffed in his shoes and kept close to his chest when he wanted whiskey that burned his soul on certain days of the year.  Especially if one of the other cleaners or security wasn't quick enough to get away from their... curiosities, as Burgess called them.

__April Showers
Tumblr media
You fell for Choi Hyunsuk in April, head over heels in love, only to lose him as soon as the showers ended.
Pairing: Choi Hyunsuk x female reader 
Word Count: 4,293
Featuring: Byunggon, Jihoon, Junkyu, Keita, and Yoshinori
Warnings: Some a-n-g-s-t
A/N: Hi, hello, I wrote this in the last four-ish hours instead of working on my other drafts. Obviously, this ended up being a whole 4k mess of words, so read at your own risk. Also, the ‘...’ indicate section end/scene change since sometimes the dividers don’t work. Sorry for any mistakes!!!
You fell for Hyunsuk in the beginning of April, when the air was thick with the incoming rain, everything humid. When fate had brought you to a small cafe as it had begun to sprinkle, a cafe that nobody ever visited, occupied by the one lone barista and customer, back to you and newspaper in front of him.
You remembered staring at his back as your ordered, the dark tips of his dyed blonde hair and the curve of his shoulder, swaying silver earrings. The kind of profile you wanted to draw with thin charcoal, outline in dark ink with a splash of glitter gel pen for his jewelry. You stared for so long that he eventually looked back, eyes connecting, hint of a smile.
“Sit with me.” He had called, and you had taken your drink and sat across from him without a second thought. He was your age; straight out of high school but not yet on his way to college, and so tiny you could fit him in your palm, like a little fairy with a hero’s face. “You’re a new face.” He had said, that same smile flitting across his face.
“I’ve never been here before.” You explained, sipping on your drink. He nodded, and you noticed the open notebook in front of him, the music notes doodled thoughtlessly across the margins. “Do you compose?” You asked, lifting your chin at the notebook. He moved his hand over the page, biting his lip.
“A little. Do you draw?” He motioned to the spirals of your sketchbook sticking out of your haphazardly thrown together bag. Blushing, you nodded. He grinned. “Draw me?” He asked, cupping his chin in his palm. You laughed, shook your head; though it was more of the sense that you never drew anyone, not that you didn’t want to draw him.
“Here, how about this.” He had said, reaching forward to tap the top of your sketchbook. “You draw me and I’ll write you a song.” You looked at him, dumbfounded, but he only smiled that blinding smile, all white teeth and lips. It was the type of smile that made you fall at first glance, head over heels in dangerous love with a boy you had just met.
“My name is Hyunsuk.” He, Hyunsuk, said. It was a name that fit him so perfectly, fit his raggedy black hoodie and flashy new sports shoes. His hand was small, thin gold bands tracing up his fingers, inlaid with jewels that were almost certainly fake, but nonetheless pretty. You stared at his outstretched hand, soft and warm.
“I’m y/n.” You introduced yourself shyly, shaking that warm hand. His skin smelled like flowers, violet rose. It made you think of petals blossoming in the winter, unfurling against white snow, ice dripping down in a messy aesthetic of sharp color. “And deal.” You added, taking out your sketchbook and one of your drawing pencils, the ones without an eraser so that you only drew and never stopped.
Hyunsuk smiled, biting his bottom lip, and it made your heart beat faster. You watched him bend his head, look down at his paper, already concentrating. Only moments ago you had been imagining tracing his profile on blank paper; now you were in control of the picture, a smudgy nose and soft eyes, messy hair falling in all the wrong directions over his eyes.
The two of you sat in silence as your drinks got cold, focused on each other and the art in front of you. Your sketch of Hyunsuk became a portrait, black and white shading and strokes, while Hyunsuk’s doodles became a song, the blank page filling up with notes over crooked lines and scribbled words.
Hours passed, and then the cafe was closing, and you and Hyunsuk were standing under the awning as it poured. The air was fresh and electric, ozone in the air, and Hyunsuk laughed, rain tangling in his bangs as he ripped out the song, folding it and handing it to you. You took it hesitantly, feeling flushed all over.
“You can keep the drawing. I had enough enjoyment watching you.” Hyunsuk said, waving and then looking up at the sky, thinking. He pulled his hood up, tucking his earbuds in and his phone away, and then dashed across the street. You watched him go in shock, the paper crinkling in your hand as you watched him disappear into the hazy gray night.
When you looked at the song, you saw he had written a number at the bottom, along with the words ‘call me-chs’.
...
You told yourself you wouldn’t call him, but you ended up dialing the number the next night, when the emptiness of your apartment stretched out a little too long. Silence was a lonely companion to have, your fingers tracing over the music notes, wishing you had a voice to sing the tune to you.
“Hello?” His raspy voice asked as soon as he picked up, and you smiled. “Hey, this is y/n. We met the other night, remember?” There was a beat of silence, long enough to make you feel nervous, hand curling around the frayed denim of your cutoff jeans.
“Of course.” Hyunsuk said sweetly. “How could I forgot such a beautiful artist such as yourself?” Warmth bloomed in your chest at the fact that he had called you an artist, not just a pretty human. It made you feel more like you were worth something, more than just your face or your curves.
“Ah, well, the problem is that you gave me a song but no way to sing it.” You admitted shyly. “I can’t sing to save my life.” Hyunsuk mmm-hmmed on the other end of the line, and you heard crackling static, voices mixing away from the call. You wondered if he was with other people.
A moment later he was back. “Hey, wanna go someplace with me?” He asked. “I can pick you up, if you like.” The you you knew didn’t jump into situations randomly, didn’t fall for strangers like a girl tripping on a dress. So why were you nodding, agreeing, falling for this stranger with a smile that would probably break your heart?
“Cool, I’ll text you my street.” You murmured into the receiver, hanging up before you could regret it. You’d wait at the corner, you decided, standing up and surveying yourself in the mirror. Faded and ripped jeans, a loose white shirt, and bare feet. Appropriate attire for a day at home, but you had no idea what this place Hyunsuk was taking you to held.
Moving to your room, you threw on a loose purple blouse and a pair of white shorts, as well as your knee length black socks and chunky white tennis shoes. A little mismatched, a little unordinary, but perfectly you. An artsy, paint stained mess of a girl with hair that was cut a little choppy, unruly bangs, but enough of a look to make you feel kind of cute.
You jogged back out of the room, grabbing your purse—which contained keys to a car you hardly used, your phone, and other essential items—and ran out of your apartment. You felt like you had been electrified, thinking of Hyunsuk running his hands through his blond hair, his rakish smile. Was this what people talked about when they said they fell head over heels in love at first sight? Maybe it wasn’t that bad of a feeling after all.
Hyunsuk pulled up five minutes after you had stationed yourself at the streetlamp on the corner, watching the dimming sunlight. The whir of his motorcycle broke the still air, and your hair fluttered in the breeze as he skated to a stop inches from where you stood. Pushing up his visor, he leaned forward, hands covered with leather biking gloves.
“You look nice.” He said, passing you the other helmet. You fitted it over your head, tugging the straps down and trying to fasten it with your clumsy fingers. Hyunsuk laughed, and it sounded like sunshine and late nights and too many stars to count. “Come here.” He said, motioning you forward. Reaching up, he did the clasp for you, hands brushing the bare skin of your chin. You shivered, not used to contact with others.
“Hold on tight.” He told you as you swung your leg over the back, cautiously wrapping your arms around his waist.
“Are you going to tell me where we’re going?” You asked, your voice coming out strangely teasing and playful. Hyunsuk laughed and shook his head, eyes in half moons when he did.
“No, it’s a secret.” He said, kicking back. “Besides, I want to make our first date have an air of mystery.” You sat back, hands pulling tight around his waist, and the smile faded off of Hyunsuk’s face. “Why, did I say something wrong?” He asked carefully. “Do you not want me to call this our first date? Did I misread the situation?”
You shook your head, knowing that the helmet didn’t hide how red your cheeks were. “No, I’ve just never really dated before—but I do want this to be our first date! I mean, I’m willing to give it a try...I mean…” You trailed off, hiding your face in his back so you wouldn’t have to meet his eyes.
“Okay.” Hyunsuk said, starting the motorcycle up with a roar that shook you. “First date it is, then.”
...
The place Hyunsuk took you looked inconspicuous, a small graffitied entrance to a beat down club. He led you in the entrance, hand loosely holding yours, and you looked around in puzzlement as it opened up into a spacious room. Music was pounding, the lighting a soft pastel, fairy lights strung up. There weren’t many people, but the ones there were obviously enjoying themselves.
“What is this place?” You asked in awe, looking around with your mouth hanging open. Hyunsuk only let out another bright laugh, leading you to a round table in the back, near where the DJ was blasting music. He waved upwards, and the DJ waved back, headphones slipped around his neck.
“This is where I make the magic happen.” Hyunsuk said, letting go of you to spread his arms out, like an announcer. “You said you wanted to hear me sing you the song. I admit I can’t really sing—rapping is more my thing—but I’ll try my best for you, darling. He pulled out a chair at the table, motioning for you to sit down. Four other boys were looking at you, wide eyed and curious.
“Y/n, meet Jihoon, Junkyu, Yoshinori, and Keita. The angsty looking DJ up there is Byunggon.” You nodded timidly, shaking hands quickly with each one of them—except for Byunggon, who was obviously preoccupied. “Now, guys, take good care of her. I have a song to sing and a deal to fulfill.” Hyunsuk said, winking at you as he moved away as quickly as he had come.
“Ah, another girl who fell for him.” Junkyu said, giving you a wide smile. Though you were unsure of what he meant, you offered a thin smile anyways, trying to hide how uncomfortable you were. No matter how kind they were, you still didn’t enjoy meeting new people. Except for Hyunsuk, it seemed.
“She’s already head over heels.” Jihoon tsked, and you slunk down in your seat. Keita hit him. “Dude. I think it’s for real this time.” Jihoon scoffed, and you swallowed, deciding to not pay attention anymore.
There was the sound of a screeching mic, and then the music cut off abruptly. “Hey guys, sorry to interrupt your dance time, but I have a special song to sing tonight.” Hyunsuk said, the mic squealing with feedback painfully. He grimaced, leaning away and adjusting it slightly. You watched him, transfixed.
The lights faded out, darkness surrounding you, and you stared at the stage, the pool of light making Hyunsuk’s edges glow. He took the microphone from the stand, standing back a few paces, and started to sing, the very notes of the song you had written playing over the speakers. You wondered if he’d planned this just now, or had it planned already.
Hyunsuk was right; he wasn’t the best at singing, but his rap was amazing. You closed your eyes, taking in the sound of his husky, slow, sweet voice, like a soothing balm. It felt perfect to you, like a voice that would whisper ‘i love you’ in your ear, read stories aloud at night, play the radio and sing along under his breath.
When he finished, you opened your eyes, a smile spreading across your face. The other boys faded away, and you were only watching Hyunsuk hop off the stage, in his ripped jeans and silky jacket. He waved at you, running over to the table with an expectant look on his face. You slow clapped in his face, unable to keep a silly grin off your face.
“You were too much for words to express.” You said, standing so you were face to face. Hyunsuk practically beamed, grabbing your hands and giving you a quick spin. A chorus of ‘oohhs’ rose from the table as Hyunsuk dragged you down to the dance floor, spinning you out in a twirl.
You let out a loud laugh, feeling something unfurling in your heart, like you were letting go of a ten pound weight that had been holding you down. Your feet felt light as you spun back against him, the floor a moving pattern of squares all lost in a blur of color beneath you. Hyunsuk’s eyes were dark and captivating, and you let yourself spiral into them, dark pools of water with tiny crescent slivers of light.
Through his shirt, you felt the beating of his heart, slamming against his ribcage like a bird threatening to break free. Or maybe that was your own heart—maybe it was both your hearts, beating erratically together. Or maybe you two were sharing a heart now, a wild heart that beat for each other only.
“I’d write a million more songs for you, if I could.” Hyunsuk murmured in your ear, his voice exactly like you had imagined, and you smiled against him, feeling safe for once in your life. “What do you say you give me a chance to do so?” He added, pushing your hair back from your face.
You liked the sound of that.
...
Hyunsuk kissed you on the dance floor, hands cupping your face, bodies pressed together as everyone else revolved around you, a slow burn of emotion. It was perfect.
...
“What would you think of putting your artwork in this gallery?” Hyunsuk asked, holding the magazine up to you. It was a lazy day in late July, and you were sitting in your living room, Hyunsuk’s head in your lap was you both paged through various newspapers and magazines. The late afternoon sunlight was spilling in like honey, criss crossing his face. His hair dye was fading out, a messy patchwork of brown and wheat.
“Hmm, I don’t know.” You hummed, taking it from him and reading through it. “It sounds really hard to get into.” Hyunsuk smiled up at you, warmer than the sun itself, your one beacon of light.
“I think you could do it.” He murmured, pulling you down to kiss him. You ran your fingers through his short hair, feeling the cold metal of his earrings press against you. “Remember the girl who boldly demanded I sing a song for her? Channel that girl and go submit that artwork I know you’re hiding.” He let go, voice teasing.
You blushed. “I didn’t demand you do anything.” Hyunsuk quirked one eyebrow.
“That’s not how I remember it.” You hit him lightly, mood already passing, the entry in front of you seemingly full of possibilities. Hyunsuk was your magic, your inspiration. You had a sketchbook full of pictures of him; in charcoal and pencil, paint and oil, watercolor and crayons. You could fill a million more, all of him, his face and his hands and his necklaces and his jackets and his lips.
“I’ll give it a try.” You finally said, and the smile Hyunsuk gave you was reward enough.
...
For your six month anniversary, Hyunsuk took you for a ride on the highway. You rode with your arms firmly around his waist, watching the lights whip past, that feeling of being able to go anywhere. You fit into Hyunsuk’s shoulder now, head tucked there, feeling the sharp edge of his collarbone.
Hyunsuk pulled off the highway, coasting to a stop in front of the ocean. You hopped off excitedly, peering over the railing and smelling the salt on the wind. “How did you know I’ve always wanted to visit the ocean?” You asked excitedly, hooking your feet around the bottom and leaning out.
“Careful there.” Hyunsuk said, pulling you back. “Come on, let’s go down.” He jumped over the railing, slipping and sliding down the coast. You followed suit—though more carefully than him—and landed in the sand. It was cool when you steadied yourself, the sun having long left it.
Hyunsuk had moved down to the waves, leaving his shoes behind as he waded in. You hurriedly falling in, sucking in deep breathes, trying to keep some of the scent with you. Growing up you hadn’t been close to an ocean, and you’re one taste of the beach had been enough to leave you hungry for more. One of your dreams was a beach house, summers spent with golden sand and salty waves, surfing and swimming and floating.
“It’s cold!” You shrieked, dancing on tiptoes over the frothy tide. Hyunsuk pulled you in tight, arms interlocked. He didn’t say anything, just smiled, and you pressed yourself against the warmth of his body. He was staring out across the waves, and you followed his gaze, over the endless ocean.
“Something on your mind?” You asked, wrapping your arms around him and leaning in close. Hyunsuk smiled lightly, shifting in the slightest, his expression more distant than it had been in a while.
“No, nothing.” He said, and then he splashed water all over you, scooping up a handful and flinging it in a shower. You screamed, stumbling back and slipping. Hyunsuk’s eyes widened comically as you grabbed onto him, silencing him mid laugh as you both toppled backwards, water enveloping you.
You surfaced, bodies tangled together underwater, your faces so close to each other that you could make out every feature of Hyunsuk’s face clearly. He studied you, pushing wet hair back. “I love you so much.” He mumbled, kissing you, and you melted into it—into him—and everything was right again, because he was yours, and you were his.
...
Christmas was cold and loud, you in the center of all of Hyunsuk’s friends, gifts passed around and wrapping paper floating through the air. Hyunsuk had a ribbon tied around his wrist, a bow stuck on his head, and you pulled him close, giggling.
“What, are you my gift?” You teased, kissing his nose, and Hyunsuk laughed, adjusting the bow. His eyes said; I’ve always been yours, but the room was too loud for him to actually say something to you.
“Ugh, the two lovebirds are still going strong.” Jihoon said, wrinkling his nose, and the room faded into uproarious laughter, Hyunsuk throwing his gift at Jihoon, who barely caught it, doubled over at something that wasn’t even funny. Everyone was laughing, and you were laughing too, so much your sides hurt.
Something about Hyunsuk made you so happy it was painful, knowing that this happiness was only yours while it lasted. Still, you let yourself be taken over by this instantaneous joy, this feeling of being full of everything someone needed. Love and friendship and family, Hyunsuk’s hand in yours and his million dollar smile, his voice and the way your bodies fit together, like each curve had been made for the other’s. Two puzzle pieces, finally finding each other.
“You have a pensive look on your face again.” Hyunsuk observed, leaning forward to gently brush wrapping paper out of your hair. You were sure there was even more still stuck there, tape too probably. Junkyu had thrown a whole gift at you, and it had gone everywhere. You smiled at him, grabbing his hands gently.
“I’m just thinking that I’m so happy that I have you, that I have this.” You confessed with a soft smile. Hyunsuk didn’t smile, a vaguely sad expression crossing his face. “And I hope I have you forever.” You added with a whisper, trying to hold back years. “Because you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
“Oh, y/n.” Hyunsuk exhaled, chin wobbling and tears glittering in his eyes. He pulled you in tight, hand on the back of your head. Face buried in the fabric of his shirt, you let tears slip free, wetting it. You felt Hyunsuk’s shaking shoulders, your own shirt damp as well, and clutched him tighter.
Please, never let me lose him.
...
Hyunsuk and you were never perfect. You fought about music and art and politics and what it meant to be in love. You fought about boundaries and limits, about the time Hyunsuk kissed another girl when he was drunk. You fought about getting drunk and going to college and futures that weren’t quite as mapped out as Hyunsuk made them see.
Hyunsuk wasn’t perfect, and neither were you, but your imperfect relationship was working out fine. It was fine, because you had confessed your heart to him, and he had given yours back.
...
One day, you opened the door to the apartment you now shared, and found it empty. Hyunsuk’s stuff was still strewn all over the place, opened notebooks and uncapped pens. Everything was there except for Hyunsuk and his motorcycle—it was your one year anniversary, and he had told you to come home, because he had another one of his spontaneous plans thrown together.
You called him, listened to the empty ringing, and wondered when he was getting home.
...
You waited, and waited, and waited. You called his friends, only to be met with answers that weren’t quite right, Junkyu stumbling over his words in a way that made you wonder if Hyunsuk was kissing another girl again, had his arms wrapped around some other stranger on the dance floor.
...
You called him again and again, but got tired of listened to the repetitive rings. Finally, you threw your phone across the room and slumped against the wall, burying your face into your knees, a curled up ball of pain.
...
Jihoon called you.
...
It was raining, but you ran anyways, slipping and sliding across the ground, tripping and ripping your jeans open, blood dripping down from your cut knees. You ran and ran, drenched and trembling in the emergency room, gasping sobs as you scanned every room for Hyunsuk, Hyunsuk, Hyunsuk.
When you found him, all you could see was red at first, then Jihoon standing at the foot of the bed, hands white and gripping the rails, face twisted into an expression of grief. “Y/n.” He said, and you knew, but you didn’t, you couldn’t.
Please, I asked you to never let me lose him.
“You’re lying.” You were screaming, your voice a crescendo of wavering notes, even though Jihoon hadn’t said anything more than your name. “No no no, you’re lying to me. Hyunsuk...Hyunsuk’s still here. He’s just hurt, right? You’re lying. He’s fine. He’s fine. He has to be fine—!”
You screamed, sinking to the ground, hearing the flatline on a monotone. There was nobody to grab your shoulders, shake you, hold you, because that was what Hyunsuk would have done. He would have hugged you and sung a song in your ear until you could breathe again.
Now all you could hear in your ears was a dull ringing, a repetitive pulsing of red lines behind your eyelids. You couldn’t breathe. Where was Hyunsuk to tell you to breathe? Who was supposed to help you catch your breath when he wasn’t here; when he was the one who was causing you to suffocate?
Your voice was raw, but you screamed on—though maybe you weren’t even making any noise anymore, maybe you had used it all up, maybe your voice had left when Hyunsuk did.
Hyunsuk.
...
“He wrote a song for you.” The funeral was dark and dreary, and you felt like you could barely stand, a swaying shadow on her feet, in the back of the crowd. They had asked you to make a speech. You had walked up to the podium and stared at the mic, remembered Hyunsuk singing to you the second day you had met.
Your voice was still gone. When you opened your mouth, nothing came out. No more ragged sobs, stuttered cries. Your eyes were dry now, too. It was like Hyunsuk leaving had sucked everything he had given back to you away. No more heart, no more soul, no more art, no more smiles.
No more magic.
...
In the darkness of your apartment, you listened to Hyunsuk’s last song, his familiar voice filling your ears. His one year gift to you, his surprise. The studio he had been coming back from, the one where he had finished recording. A story you had found out in bits and pieces, a goodbye you had never got to say and he had never got to tell you.
“Oh baby, I’ll love you forever.” Hyunsuk said in your ears, and you sobbed into your sleeves, the sadness overwhelming, the memories a crushing force.
...
It was April and it was raining outside, a shower that never ended.
[End.]

Gaming Laptops
The best gaming PC is the Asus ROG Strix GL502VS-DS71. With an Intel Core i7-7700HQ CPU, GTX 1070 illustrations card, 16GB DDR4 and a 120Hz G-Sync screen, it has every one of the highlights we search for in a gaming workstation. Shockingly better, it offers that list of capabilities without racking up an extreme sticker price.
Gaming PCs have made some amazing progress as of late. Never again is a huge stream motor or two required to adapt to the warmth yield of versatile designs chips. Accordingly, notepads have thinned down impressively to offer work area class illustrations in a really versatile shape factor.
This is thanks in huge part to Nvidia's Pascal GPUs. The 10-arrangement of illustrations cards are more intense and effective than any other time in recent memory. With higher clock speeds and lower temperature yield than past ages, it's presently conceivable to pack GTX 1060 and 1070 GPUs into PCs that measure around or now and again not as much as an inch thick. Shockingly better, those 10-arrangement cards aren't tuned-down versatile variations yet rather just as effective as their work area partners. Making things a stride further, Nvidia's Max-Q outline reasoning sacrifices a touch of execution to get control draw even lower. These frameworks are thin, light, and calm, yet still capable. You'll locate our most loved pick in that class here, and we have a committed Max-Q purchasing guide also.
Similarly as great, PC screens are getting closer and nearer in include set to their work area partners. Highlights, for example, high revive rates, 1440p or 4K resolutions, and G-Sync innovation are never again constrained to the tabletop frame factor. What's more, maybe the best part is that a humble mix of these highlights and execution can be had at non-crazy value focuses.
In testing for this guide, we brought in a strict pile of gaming workstations from different equipment makers. We constrained our general decision to workstations including a GTX 1070 GPU, as frameworks with that spec have the best adjust of execution, highlights, and cost for most gamers, while the spending class was restricted to PCs including a GTX 1060 GPU. For thin Max-Q frameworks, we've concentrated on the all the more sensibly valued GTX 1070 variations, however, will assess top of the line GTX 1080 Max-Q frameworks soon.
The best gaming workstation
Asus ROG Strix GL502VS-DS71
Asus' ROG Strix GL502VS is the best gaming workstation for general clients. It consolidates a vigorous list of capabilities with a not too bad form quality in a not-monstrous shape factor, all at a sensible cost.
I'm a major devotee of the 15-inch workstation shape factor. It's sufficiently substantial to give you the screen land expected to play recreations without squinting, however not all that huge (taking a gander at you, 17-inches) that it requires a unique gaming PC rucksack. As such, it's the frame factor that gives a versatile gaming a chance to machine really be compact.
The ROG Strix GL502VS satisfies that guarantee of transportability. Estimating just 1.18 inches (30mm) thick, it's one of the more slender GTX 1070 workstations we've tried—Max-Q frameworks in any case—being beaten just by the X5 v6 from Gigabyte's Aorus division. There was a considerable measure we enjoyed about the X5 v6—not the slightest of which was its super-svelte casing—and in a different universe it may be our best pick, yet it was kept down by sketchy form quality and a substantially higher sticker price.
Like a large portion of the PCs tried in this class, the GL502VS highlights an Intel Core i7-7700HQ CPU, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and a GTX 1070 GPU. Where it separates itself, besides the shape factor as of now said, is in its show. Where most gaming PCs offer a 1080p G-Sync IPS screen, they are generally kept down by boards with a 60Hz invigorate rate. The GL502VS steps things up with a 1080p "IPS-like" matte board with a 120Hz revive rate. To be perfectly honest, a great part of the GTX 1070's pixel-pushing power is squandered on a 60Hz screen, as it's more than fit for keeping up framerates well over 80 to 100 FPS at 1080p. With the GL502VS's 120Hz G-Sync screen, you aren't compelled to pick between screen tearing and higher than 60 FPS.
Thinking about the closeness of internals, the PCs we tried scored moderately close in our benchmarking. Honestly, the distinction between the most noteworthy and least scores is sufficiently little to be generally irrelevant once you get into certifiable utilization. All things considered, the GL502VS scored in the highest point of the class against comparatively spec'd, more costly PCs.
As I would like to think, the GL502VS's body is a tremendous change over Asus' bigger, more costly G752VS PC, the refreshed rendition of one of our past most loved workstations. The GL502VS has a more downplayed look that keeps up a touch of the ROG brand's rakish stylish while conditioning down a portion of the more forceful styling—and in a little bundle to boot. Obviously, the G752VS's size generally originates from its expansive back vents, yet in my testing, the GL502VS's littler size didn't constrain it thermally in any detectable way, and it comes in at a substantially more alluring value point.
For the network, the GL502VS has all the typical suspects: three USB 3.0 close by one USB Type-C, and one every one of HDMI and Mini DisplayPort for interfacing with outside screens. Tragically, it's missing Thunderbolt 3 availability in the Type-C port, constraining exchanges to 10Gbps rather than Thunderbolt 3's blasting quick 40Gbps.
The other fundamental disadvantage to the GL502VS is battery life: with just a 62 WHr battery, the power draw of the GTX 1070 means your opportunity untethered from the divider is restricted to just an hour or two, regardless of whether you aren't gaming. Having said that, the absence of battery life is more than compensated for while thinking about the GL502VS's cost. At $1,699, it's many dollars less expensive than most GTX 1070 workstations. And keep in mind that it's not the most convenient—particularly contrasted with the ultra-thin Razer Blade or the up and coming Nvidia Max-Q workstations—it's sufficiently little for a typical rucksack and sufficiently light to not crush your spirit. Obviously, on the off chance that you demand more screen land, the 17-inch GL702VS is successfully a similar PC in a bigger edge.
Acer Predator Helios 300
For the spending classification of this guide, I concentrated on gaming workstations with GTX 1060 GPUs in the $1,000 to $1,500 territory. It's conceivable to discover gaming workstations for under $1,000, yet they as a rule hit that lower value point by downsizing to a GTX 1050 or 1050 Ti (or more seasoned age) GPU, which is fundamentally less proficient at taking care of the present most requesting diversions. The GTX 1060, then again, offers a decent cost to-execution proportion that functions admirably for 1080p @ 60fps gaming.
Acer's Predator Helios 300 is the best spending gaming workstation for general clients. Like others in the class, it includes an Intel Core i7-7700HQ CPU, 16GB DDR4 RAM, and the previously mentioned Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 GPU. The greatest fluctuation between PCs tried is in the capacity spec, manufacture quality, and cost. Also, similar to the GTX 1070 PCs tried for the general best workstation classification, the vast majority of the PCs here created comparative outcomes in the greater part of our benchmarking tests. At the end of the day, execution savvy, there's next to no distinction between the different correspondingly spec'd PCs in this value extend. Here's the manner by which the GTX 1060 workstations fared against each other:
So if every one of the PCs performed comparably, what sets the Helios 300 separated? Two principal things: battery life and cost. How about we talk value first. I said utilizing a scope of $1,000 to $1,500 for this class, yet the vast majority of the PCs cost around $1,350. Put something aside for one: the Helios 300, which is valued at $1,100 MSRP and broadly accessible for $1,050. Considering the element spec is relatively indistinguishable from the Asus ROG GL502VM ($1,350) and MSI GE62VR Apache Pro ($1,400), the Helios 300 ($1,050) helpfully wins on cost alone.
The main thing I found that the Helios 300 is feeling the loss of, that may be worth paying an additional $250 for on the GL502VM, is G-Sync. The Helios 300's 1080p matte screen is not all that much—not as splendid as a work area IPS screen, but rather no place close as awful as the washed-out hues we've seen on some spending TN boards—however, it takes care of business. Without G-Sync, however, you'll be managing screen detaching if your turn v-synchronize and your framerate dip under 60fps. Having said that, the GTX 1060 will effortlessly keep up 60fps with a couple of changed settings in essentially any top of the line amusement (recall that our fps benchmarks have settings turned to the maximum, so a little change can without much of a stretch get you the additional 10 or 20 fps expected to look after 60). On account of that, going for 60fps with v-synchronize on is a strong contrasting option to managing the value premium of Nvidia's G-Sync tech.
In the event that cost alone isn't sufficient to influence you toward the Helios 300, its prevalent battery life is another solid point. All of the workstations I tried (both in this classification and others) utilize just their devoted illustrations card, notwithstanding amid customary non-gaming use. This implies the GPU is drawing power constantly, chopping battery life down to just a single or two hours. The Helios 300, then again, swaps over to incorporated designs amid ordinary, non-gaming periods, enhancing battery life altogether. Amid ordinary perusing with brilliance set to 50 percent, the Helios 300 kept going over four hours without connecting to—sufficiently long for consecutive gatherings or a medium-length flight. With control sparing mode and lower brilliance, you can likely lift that to six hours or more.
