Hi,

I'm looking for a laptop under $900 that I can use for 4 - 5 years. Great features to have are:


  • An SSD (250GB would be perfect)
    A fast CPU
    A fast GPU
    15 - 18-inch screen, but not super heavy
    Screen Resolution of 1920 x 1080 or above

I did some research and found this laptop from MSI. Are there better ones out there at a similar price?

Thanks in advance!

Forget long battery life if you want GTX 960 or better ...

you cant have it all especially for cheap $900

Makes sense - what's on the market that'll give solid performance, even without good battery life?

buut if you are not in a hurry , wait for the new GTX 1070M and GTX 1060M , they will be at least 60% more the speed of the old gen ..

Oh ok. Didn't know they were coming out, so I guess I might wait a couple months. Do the mobile GPUs come out at the same time as the ones for desktop (this fall for the 10 series)?
