Hello forum,
I'm trying to decide on which laptop to buy for my new gaming system. I am an airline pilot and travel a lot; currently have a Dell XPS1640 which is about 4 years old now and showing signs of use... I can barely play any games on this thing as it is. Some of the games I like to play are the Total War series, Civilization 5, and Diablo 3.
I was looking for a 15 inch laptop with a 1500$ budget but couldn't make a choice of which laptop. Currently I have been looking between the MSI gx60, MSI gt60, and ASUS G55VW. I have also looked at some Sager laptops but haven't seen many reviews or heard much about them. I have never owned any of these machines, only Dell laptops. I used to build my own desktop computers when I was younger but I haven't been up with the times on current technology for gaming.
Another question of mine is it worth to have a SSD? If I were to purchase one would I be able to raid it with another hardrive for extra storage without the high cost? Also what would you suggest the size of the SSD drive if I were only to put the operating system on it? Are their any benefits for it?
Thank you all for your time and future suggestions.
