I have a really powerful Desktop that i built myself buy honestly mobility has grown more and more important to me and i was wondering what my next move should be should i sell it and get the money for a nice gaming laptop.

The new MSI has the 4th gen i7 http://www.xoticpc.com/msi-ge70-2oe017us-p-5781.html

and the ASUS is custom built on xoticpc also with a beastly GPU which is why i thought the ASUS would be a better choice because of quality and air cooling http://www.xoticpc.com/asus-g750jwdb71-p-5788.html

the ASUS is about 130$ more but at that point why should it matter how much i spend?

The 660m version is too weak and the best buy version of the G75VX is nice but the 670MX isn't really worth the 1300$ that the GT765 is.

Thoughts?? Also the two Lenovo y500 models are weaker than those two laptops aswell the 650SLI and 750SLI. I saw all the benchmarks and comparisons on notebookcheck
 
I'd suggest the Asus one due to better cooling system over both the MSI and the Lenovo one. On gaming laptops, low temp means more than a bit more power.
