[noobkiileri]

hi
i want to buy a laptop and after some time of searching now i picked 2 but i dont know wich one is better realy
1_msi ge60 2pc apache
i7 4700hq
gtx 850m 2gb gddr5
7200rpm hdd + msata port for ssd
8gb ram
2_asus n550jk
i7 4700hq
gtx 850m DDR3
5400rpm hdd
8gm ram
now i want to know wich one is better in games and gives me more fps on the same setting and 1920*1080
i love asus more but as i see msi hardware is better (gpu and hdd)
and is msi a reliable brand?
i will be thanked for all helps

They're going to be pretty much identical since the specs are. You'll see very slightly better performance with the 7200rpm drive and slightly worse battery life (probably insignificant considering the rest of the specs). In my experience, MSI has had some quality control issues in the past with their motherboards, but every manufacturer has their defects now and then, so it's a tough thing to try and predict.

I will say Asus tends to stop supporting their laptop drivers sooner. I've got an N53SV which was a nightmare trying to find working Windows 8 drivers for, despite being purchased only a year before W8 came out. If that's a concern for you (you want to upgrade to windows 9 when it comes out), you may want to check out how long MSI supports their laptops and provides updated drivers.

Honestly I would upgrade both to a SSD for faster HD performance. I'm not sure about mSATA as I've never used it, but if you want to do a small SSD for OS and a data drive for the rest, it might not be a bad idea (it's what I do on my desktop). Just keep in mind that'll drop your battery life even more.

thanks for the help
i dont care about battery life most important thign for me is graphics in the game and performance
as i see msi website the support for driver is very good
now wich one is better?
the thing that makes me think about these too is gddr5 and 4gb
i dont know wich one has a better performance
the view ,battery life isnt important for me

GDDR5 would have better performance, but slightly. Technically it's based off of DDR3, but has a few optimizations and better bandwidth than regular DDR3. If you're given the choice, go with GDDR5 for the best performance you can get.

oh darnn i clicked wrongly on best solution!!!
if anyone can clear this clear it please
ok so that means asus is a better chose as a better battery look and quality?

 

[drapacioli]

I don't know if anyone can clear, I've had troubles with the solution thing myself. But yes, Asus better in terms of battery (slightly) and they have a slightly better reliability rating, but the MSI is higher in terms of raw performance and upgrade options (msata)

thanks you so much for all your help
as battery isnt important for me and i want performance i will choose msi
anyway i see msi a bit more beautiful with that still series keyboard
and does anyone know what is the diffrence of killed e2200 ethernet lan with asus one?

You're welcome. Honestly I have no idea, but they're both going to be gigabit ports. It's probably just a fancy name for an ethernet driver that's the same as all the others. It might have software that will prioritize certain applications over others, but a more pressing concern would be your own internet's line quality and speed first, as the ethernet port is almost never a bottleneck.

is there anyway to say how much is msi gpu more powerfull then asus in %?

 

[drapacioli]

I've never seen any direct comparisons between the two, so I would have to say no. Any percentages would be pure speculation, unless someone else can come in and back them up with a well-documented comparison.
