What exactly is thunderbolt 3 so I know what I'd be missing out on?

I know now. So what would you say is the better laptop if they were the same price?

Actually you dont have to worry about that as thunderbolt is there. it was not mentioned in the specs sheet but it's there in the Manufacturer's note which i missed previously. hence why i edited my post.
based on that this offer looks the most appealing

Have you checked the seller out though? From India with no reviews.. I'll have to pass on that particular one

in that case, have a look at this page:

Some people telling me that life spans of laptops is much less than desktop pc. That after few years they just begin to die.. Surely not the case in expensive laptops such as the type I'm interested in.. Is there any truth in this?

 

[DStruct]

Anyone else? Unable to find much people talking about the GE72VR. Seems to all be about the other MSI models.......

 

[DStruct]

Kind of torn between a few now, All are similar priced:
Any input on helping me choose would be appreciated please

Asus ROG G752VM
MSI GE72VR
Gigabyte P57W V6

The Gigabyte is my least favourite because once specs and price chosen, the look of the thing has to count for something right?

Question from DStruct : "ASUS G752VM, MSI GE72VR or Gigabyte P57WV6"

Hi All

I am looking to purchase a laptop but struggling to put my finger on the right one.

Currently torn between a select few:
Asus ROG G752VM
MSI GE72VR
Gigabyte P57W V6

For my budget I am looking at a i7 6700, 8-16GB RAM, 1060 GPU, 1TB HDD with preferably at least a 120+SSD. 1080P with a decent screen, and ofcourse all the usual goodies that come with modern technology laptops.

Can anybody advise please?

Many thanks

Also the Defiance III to that list, so thats 4. Anyone?

 

[DStruct]

Considering the ASUS G752VM or the MSI GT72VR, though I do prefer the looks of the ASUS
Any advice before I choose one or the other ?
