What do you think of MSI laptops for graphics editing, animation, and video editing ?
Thanks.
MSI has a variety of different laptops with different screen types from the budget 1366x768 to the mid-range 1600x900 up to 1080p. What type of quality you get is based on how much you are willing to spend. If you want to keep it around $1,000, then this 1080p model should suit your needs well:
link. I don't know what the viewing angles are like on this model but the specs look very good for the price. It has a quad core i7, a Nvidia GT 740, 8 GB RAM and a decent sized 750 GB HDD. Since it is a Haswell CPU, the battery life should be very good.
Thanks so much for the reply. If I'm willing to spend around $1500 which model would you go for ?
Once again, thanks a lot.
MSI has 6 different Intel/Nvidia models in the $1,500 to $1,600 price range that I would consider. All of them use the quad-core Haswell i7 CPU. All are 1080p but the screen size, RAM size, HDD size, Windows version and optical drive type all vary. They are listed below by price:
GE70 2OE-071US $1,449 - 14", GTX 760M 2GB, 128GB SSD + 1TB HDD, 12GB RAM, Blu-ray Disc Reader
GE40 2OC-245US $1,499 - 14", GTX 760M 2GB, 128GB SSD + 1TB HDD, 12GB RAM, no ODD
GT60 2OC-022US $1,499 - 15.6", GTX 770M 3GB, 1TB HDD, 8GB RAM, DVD Super Multi
GT70 2OC-065US $1,499 - 17.3", GTX 770M 3GB, 1TB HDD, 8GB RAM, DVD Super
GT60 2OC-077US $1,599 - 15.6", GTX 770M 3GB, 750GB HDD, 12GB RAM, DVD Super Multi
GT70 2OC-408US $1,599 - 17.3", GTX 770M 3GB, 1TB HDD, 12GB RAM, DVD Super Multi
If I had the choice of one of those, the
GT60 2OC-022US stands out. The 17 inch screens might be a bit too big and power hungry for a laptop. The 15.6" should have a longer battery life. Also, you really do not need more than 8 GB RAM. The 770M with 3GB VRAM is a monster GPU for a laptop. If you spend another $100 and get a Samsung 840 Evo, this laptop will be amazingly fast and there really isn't a desktop app or game that it can't handle with ease. If you require a larger screen, the
GT70 2OC-065US is the same price and the only difference appears to be the DVD drive. The 14" models are also a good deal and include SSDs but the 760m isn't quite the beast that the 770m is.
