Hello guys, I love laptops and building pc's etz.
My old laptop with core 2 duo died 2 weeks ago and I really need another one for work/school.
I am a gamer but I use my gaming pc for games. The only games i might play on a laptop are league of legends and cs go.
So, to get back to the topic:
I was searching for a barebones laptop on ebay so I can customize it a bit and saw this :
msi gp60 with i7 6700hq. Sometimes the owner has them in stock and sometimes they are sold out, like now...
it comes in at 345 euro and needs a hdd/ssd and ram.
Is this a good deal to get?
Alexander

A gp60 by msi isn't a barebones unit. If you want a barebones then Clevo/Sager is your best bet. However barebones laptops are only good if you go into higher price classes.

But then still, I can get it working for around 500 euro in total. Is it worth it?

Can you please tell me what gp60 it is? As the gp60's I can find only go up to a 4th gen intel cpu.

The processor is the i7 6700hq.
It could also have been a GE60
currently they are out of stock. But I think that this is a good deal for 350 euro
