MSI Leopard or Asus Rog?

[Skankie]

Hi everyone. Been having some difficulty choosing a new laptop to play World of Warcraft and other games on, and most of you will have a more knowledge based opinion than me - so I'm putting it to the pros!

I'm moving in with gf so not enough room for my computer, 2 desks and 3 screens. Regrettably having to downsize to a laptop. I only have a budget of around £1000 (€1150 / $1300) but could stretch it slightly if it meant a big difference. Apart from the technical specs it's important to me that the keyboard is good quality and comfortable after being used to having a very large mechanical switch keyboard. I also prefer 17.3" screen as I hate the smaller interface on wow on smaller screens and am used to playing on 24" monitors.

80% of the time I'll be playing wow, so I know both of these will be fine running it on ultra, but 20% of the time I'll be playing more intensive games like R6 Siege, Destiny 2, etc.

Please comment on what you feel will be better suited to me, or even if there is an alternative for similar price that's available in the U.K. I don't know how good the screens are on either of these as many websites tend not to even mention if they are IPS, LCD or LED screens.

Here are the options:

MSI Leopard GP72 7RD-015 UK 17.3"

i7-7700hq 2.8ghz processor
Nvidia gtx 1050 2gb graphics
16 gb ram
1tb + 128gb ssd memory

+/- : good processor but only 2gb graphics

Asus ROG GL753VD 17.3"

i5-7300hq 2.5ghz
Nvidia gtx 1050 4gb graphics
12gb ram
1tb + 128gb ssd memory

+/-: older processor but full 4gb graphics card.

Thanks so much in advance for any opinions or alternatives you can suggest!

I would go for the asus as you will be playing wow mostly. An i7 is only needed if you are planning on playing games at high or above. This excludes wow as that can be played on ultra on the 1050.
