Looking for a new gaming laptop

[giannis.20010]

Hello all,
I'm looking to buy a new gaming laptop and I still cannot decide which brand or what components i prefer. I have been searching on amazon.uk mostly because i want it delivered in the UK. Below are some of my choices:

If you could help me decide or have something else to suggest it would be highly appreciated!

If you can buy the used one that's not a bad deal...though I have had issues with deals that good on amazon. Usually its BS and it will never show up at half the cost...but you never know. Amazon covers you if it is fake so there is that. Cost/performance wise it is the best "deal"...after which I would go with the MSI GE73VR just for the NVMe drive/120hz panel as every other spec is the same as the asus GL702Vm.

Thanks for the quick reply. I want my laptop to be brand new. I prefer the msi aswell but I'm a bit curious about the g-sync. Does it make so much difference?

not at 60hz...gsync starts to fail at 50hz (some users say it fails at less then 60hz)...so you have a 10FPS window at best. Not worth it IMHO. I'd rather have to set vsync at a higher refresh rate like 90-120hz then gsync at 60hz. Gsync is pointless as far as I see it on anything less the 90hz.

So 120hz with 5ms is way better?

IMHO yes it is.
