MSI vs Asus Laptop

[xentaria]

Hi,

I'm looking to buy a gaming laptop for under £800-£900 for when I travel and am considering the two below, I'll happily look at other suggestions, I have Amazon.co.uk credit so I'd prefer to buy it from there. I mostly play World of Warcraft: Legion.

or
https/www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01N1YANAG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&th=1

Thanks for any input or advice

These both look comparable in the sense of specs, as both have the same processor, comparable SSDs, the same mass storage, etc. The only thing that I seem to be missing is the 1050's specs on the MSI one. It says it uses the 1050, where most- if not all- commercial 1050's have only 2GB of GDDR5, whereas the 1050Ti has 4. The Asus one says it also uses a 1050, but specifies it has 4GB of VRAM buffer. But, even so, the MSI laptop seems significantly cheaper, so I would go for that, assuming that one probably also has a 4GB buffer, and even if not, you're still going to do yourself pretty well.

The MSI does indeed only have 2GB VRAM.
