Asus Vs Lenovo Vs MSI

[John9786]

Hola Amigos,
I'm thinking of buying a laptop this coming Christmas, however, I am uncertain as to which brand is the best gaming-wise. I have a budget of $1800 AUD, and would not like to exceed this amount. Please give your recommendations as to which brand is best for gaming, or even suggest an alternative brand.
Grazie!!

Asus has the best cooling. MSI is a good alternative. Not sure about Lenovo for gaming. I don't trust them.

1: ASUS
2:MSI
3:Lenovo

Lenovo is new to making gaming laptops and Asus, MSI, Alienware and Sager have been making gaming machines for awhile.

I trust Asus of the three options. MSI would be my second choice.

Whatever you get , make sure you pick the new generation mobile GTX 1060 or better , dont buy old 9xx gen

 

[orlbuckeye]

Well the 9XX gen will be way cheaper.

They claim 40% improvement. Waiting for official benchmarks before believing those claims.

When you are comparong a desktop 1060 (almost 980 power) to something like a 960m or 970m, the 1060 is a no brainer.

Msi and asus would be better. I owned a lenovo y50 before, and while the specs are good for its price, the build quality and cooling isnt as good. It feels so flimsy that i dont dare to use it as a laptop.
