Go with whichever is cheaper. They will both game about the same. The Lenovo will boot faster, due to the SSD, but with only 128gb of storage, it won't hold many games.

Lenovo has 128 SSD + 1 TB HD. it has more than the MSI.

How much do they actually cost? and are you looking for a gaming laptop only, or you want it for gaming and productivity as well?

Because for $900 you've got the UK Gigabyte P55K-BWCUK on amazon:

The differences are that the gigabyte has a GTX 965M 2GB card which is better than the GTX 960M, although it's got a 2.7 GHz 5th generation 5700HQ instead of the 2.6 GHz 6th generation 6700HQ that you find on the 2 laptops you requested.

However you should know they perform about the same the only important difference is battery sometimes.

From the laptops you selected you you go for the lenovo you gain a 128GB SSD if you want your games to load faster. But overall any of this three laptops have same specs.

If you just play games go for the gigabyte and do it fast due to there's just one left in stock. It's a GTX 965M laptops components can't be replaced so easily so I would pick the one that offers decent framerates at high settings. The GTX 960 does well in many games even at 1080p but when it comes to games such as witcher of the division I would doubt it

But that 128gb is only going to be useful enough to use as an OS drive. Yes, you will boot faster, and any programs you have on it will load faster, but 128gb is simply too small to really put any games on it. SSD does 0 for FPS.

Well yes but an SSD is an SSD despite you could install 2 games on it. You can't ask for a 512MB SSD for that price.

However I do prefer a better graphics card instead of an SSD. It's a laptop you can buy an SSD in the future the graphics card is not easily replaceable and considering how demanding the games are it's best to pick the best card you're capable of

Yes but both laptops have a 1 tb HD. Ypu can store some of the games on the SSD. The MSI won't boot as fast but has the same HD storage as the Lenovo.

A very late and useless response but my MSI GE62 6QC Apache came with a 128GB Toshiba SSD (Read speed: 534 MB/s) + a 1TB Travelstar HDD and all the other specs you mentioned.

Boots hella fast.

2GB less memory on the 960M-card though, compared to the Lenovo comp, but i think it was worth it.

Only drawback is the lousy support from MSI. They need to work on that bit
