MSI vs Asus Laptop for reliability (Can't decide)

Hi guys,

I was wondering which one of those laptops would suit my needs as a student and a light gamer. By light gamer I mean games such League of Legends, Chivalry, Diablo 3. But the most important I want it to be reliable for school. If you have any suggestions for other laptops, feel free to post them

Go for the last one with the 840m GC. Hands down the best of the three. As for reliability, now none of the laptops break down easily. However, as a good practice, always keep your laptop on a hard flat surface (for e.g. on a table) and never on a cushy surface (like bed) to make sure all its exhaust vents are open. Also,avoid giving your lappy sudden shocks or jerks, especially when it is running.

Rit_86 has the right of it. Spec wise, the 3rd one, the MSI GP60 2PE-624US is the best of the lot. Better CPU than the 2nd, and better GPU than 1st or 2nd, and a better display than the 1st or 2nd.
