MSI GT72 or Gigabyte P37X

[Doug Potesta]

So I'm deciding which one to go with and I found some results.

The Gigabyte seems better for portability and I like the look better, but the GT72 seems to beat it just a little bit in benchmarks.

Also, which company is more reliable MSI or Gigabyte, will my purchase last 5 years or will it die in 2. I want to know whats more durable as well.

What do you guys think the better buy is?

Both should be as reliable as the other, the performance of them is close enough that you can pick based on what you like better, better battery life and looks and warranty length. The Gigabyte looks to have an hour more battery use, that is pretty significant if you will move around with the laptop a bit.
