Best 1800$ laptop? MSI GS70 Stealth ?

[RulesSpew]

Heyo

I play some games but mostly do some job on on the PC ( photoshop / after effects / sandbox / c4d ), rendering stuff and video editing most.
My friend recomended me this one :

It fits my needs! And also very thin!

Do you guys think this is a good laptop? Any tips or experience with it? I'm worried about the battery life a bit.

Do you know any better than this? ( btw. mac retina was an option, but I'm not sure if I can crack stuff on it )

Thank you

so you do a lot of graphic work / rendering or do you game as well?
is thickness an issue - e.g the more portable the better?
your budget i'm assuming is $1800 - correct me if it's wrong
where are you buying from?

Don't you mean 1800 quids/pounds? That laptop seems pretty great for the price.

I'm working a lot with photoshop and after effects, hard 3D video stuff is not my type. Gaming too, I like good visuals and I need some high settings on games, 2000$ can be max, just wanted to save 200 bucks for some other sutff.
I'm buying from a czech republic market, the prices will be the same around the word, aproximate so it won't be a big deal
