Are these good gaming laptops?

[Timbuktu87]

Hello my friends. I want to start off by saying I am not new to mobile gaming, I have owned mobile gaming laptops for the past 9 years but I am somewhat new to this brand. I might purchase a gaming laptop and wanted some advice on this specific brand and price point. There are two that I am interested in but do not know which one is the better deal? Aside from the deal, i this a reliable brand? I have owned alienware, MSI, and ASUS and never had a single BSOD or problem but what about Gigabyte?

Those laptops are kick ass. Gigabyte makes very good gaming laptops. I do however want to warn you that as it is a gaming laptop it will be quite loud under gaming load, as I'm sure you already know having owned several others. I do however have to recommend this ASUS laptop at a cheaper price as it still has the same processor and GPU, but at a greatly reduced price, and since it's ASUS, you know it's good. http/tinyurl.com/gp3fo7p

Is the ASUS priced in Canadian dollars? The two Gigabytes are.

$2000USD is about $2615 in Canadian dollars.
