Hi im thinking in buying a cheap gaming laptop for example:

MSI GF65 Thin 15.6 Gaming Laptop i7-10750H 8GB RAM 512GB SS (gtx1660ti)

or

MSI Gaming GF65 THIN 9SEXR-249 Laptop (Core i5-9300H/8GB/512GB) (rtx2060)

i will be playing GTA V, X-Plane 11, and maybe Fortnite. Which one you guys recommend?

I know desktop are better but i need something mobile

thank you.

MSI Gaming GF65 THIN 9SEXR-249 Laptop (Core i5-9300H/8GB/512GB) RX2060 for 860$

MSI GF65 Thin 15.6 Gaming Laptop i7-10750H 8GB RAM 512GB SSD 120Hz GTX 1660 Ti for 1089.99$

Video card is about 20% faster and RTX vs GTX so has more features. Plus your price shows the RTX 2060 system $200 less
Those will be fine for those games and more. Second one is better for gaming, weaker CPU but better video card which is more benefit in almost all games.
