Help me decide GP62 2QE LEOPARD PRO vs GE62 2QC APACHE

[Saltitao]

Hey guys,

I'm having a little bit of trouble to decide whether i get GP62 2QE LEOPARD PRO (http/www.msi.com/product/notebook/GP62-2QE-Leopard-Pro.html#hero-specification) + SSD 120GB or GE62 2QC APACHE (http/www.msi.com/product/notebook/GE62-2QC-Apache.html#hero-specification).

Obviously i would like to game with them, but not hardcore mode
I know that the 2QC video-card is better but i really like the ideia of adding an SSD to the 2QE one an also having the colour-changing keyboard (yes, im using that as a decision factor )

So, could you guys me your opinion??

P.S.: The idea here is to keep the price of the GE62 2QC APACHE (1049€) as the limit. Adding an SSD to the GP62 2QE LEOPARD PRO will cost a total of 1029€.

I thought both laptops had RGB LED backlit keyboards? Am I wrong? (BTW...Buying a computer for looks is perfect legit, I even do that sometimes as well. )

I'd get the Apache in a heart beat, sure you don't have a SSD, but it's not something where it will be torture if you don't have it. Go with the apache, then upgrade it to a Samsung 850 Pro or even a 950 Pro if possible.

The GP62 2QE LEOPARD PRO has a rainbow colored keyboard as the GE62 2QC APACHE only has a white lighted keyboard. =P
But isnt the PC going to be real slow after a while without the SSD?? i know it isnt immediately but....

It won't be incredibly slow, but it will be noticeable.

If your willing to sacrifice graphics performance for the led keyboard and SSD, then go for it! You know your needs much better than I will.
