Asus or MSI?

[L4N3]

Just yesterday I asked a question regarding three laptops that I couldn't choose between. Between an HP, Acer and ASUS, ASUS proved to be the best choice. Just today, however, I found an MSI with similar specs for a similar price, and as usual I'm torn once more. Can anyone help me decide between the two, or suggest something that could possibly be better for the same price?

I'd go with the MSI. The graphics processor is more powerful than on the Asus.

Here in NZ it's around $250 US more expensive. Do you think it's worth it for the upgrade?

oh...hmmm...i dunno about $250. For $75 i'd say yes for sure, though one thing i don't like about the Asus other than the lower spec is the case. Aluminum looks nice, but everytime you touch it there will be fingerprint marks left behind. Also aluminum dents. Permanently. Still, i don't know if i could justify the extra $250. I'd have to flip a coin 😛
