I'm looking for a good laptop for game development (Unreal Engine 4) and ended up with these two options after couple hours of research:
Asus ROG GL752 17,3" (~ $1100)
CPU: Intel Core i7 6700HQ / 2.6 GHz
RAM: 8 GB DDR4 RAM (2133 MHz)
GPU: GTX 960M (2 GB GDDR5 SDRAM)
Storage: 1TB HDD + 126GB SSD
MSI GE72 2QF Apache Pro 17,3" (~ $1500)
CPU: Intel Core i7 5700HQ / 2.7 GHz
RAM: 8 GB DDR3L SDRAM
GPU: GTX 970M (3 GB GDDR5 SDRAM)
Storage: 1TB HDD + 126GB SSD
So it's a bit of a give and take with the RAM and CPU, but I think the main difference would be the GPU. From what I read so far, the 970 seems to be quite a step up from the 960. But 400$ more is quite a step up as well and I can't find any precise information about how much better the 970 actually is.
If anyone could give me some advice on what would be the better choice in terms of value for money (and also how these cards perform with UE4, if you have any experience with it), it would be very much appreciated!
