Laptop Buying Advice

[buzzm]

I am in the market for a new laptop.

I have been looking at the MSI GT 72 - 211 and the ASUS G751 JY DH 71 models. Both are priced within my budget. I am looking at getting them from Best Buy for the convenience of having a retail store to deal with any issues or problems. I have read reviews on both and while they seem like very good products, there is a sprinkling of reviews that are not so positive and point to some potential random problems with both.

So now I have added into the mix the option of having the same basic build but going to either Xidax or Origin. The Origin option is priced about the same as Best Buy website. The Xidax is actually a little bit less expensive.

My questions

Am I overly concerned about the random issues on the MSI or ASUS? I mean are they basically good / reliable products.

Anyone have experiences with Origin or Xidax on laptops? How would rate their quality vs other similar options?

Am I overlooking other options in terms of a seller that is more reliable and builds a better product?

Any advice or insight is greatly appreciated

hello there regarding your concern with asus and msi the first thing i did was go to there forums asus has its own forums for its ROG laptops like the g751 and i have only see nothing but complaints on there about the screen and other stuff and hardly any fixes or posts by an ASUS rep now if you got to the MSI forums there are less problems people are having and there are a few threads started by an official MSI person with fixes to various problems that have been reported which is great that means they care about us soo i myself am leaning towards MSI ik have never used xidax or origin so i cant help you there have you tried a website like ibuypower.com or xoticpc.com they have several brands and you can have them customize you a laptop to order that wont void any warranties hope this helps
