https://www.excaliberpc.com/643393/acer-predator-17-g9-792-79vj-17.3.html (between the above two, i'd probably go with the first, but let me know if you think the second will have more longevity or something)

https://www.excaliberpc.com/642870/msi-gt72s-dominator-pro-g-1230.html (out of the above two i'd probably also go with the first, but it's the same case as the previous pair)

I know I listed quite a bit of them, but I'd honestly appreciate some help here. In terms of GPU/CPU and the like, they're all pretty similar, but I'm wondering about each brand's cooling system (in terms of efficiency), whether or not G-Sync support (which Acer models lack) is worth it, whether or not MSi allow GPU upgrades, etc. since I couldn't find too much I could understand on the subject or at least compare the brands with. I'd also like to mention that I don't live in the USA (I live in Israel), so the warranty on most products will only last one year, and I'd like to hear your opinion on whether or not I should just purchase a laptop in my own country for a somewhat higher price (and no freebies): to get a 3 year warranty instead. If we convert the dollars to NIS and add the 17% from taxes, a 2000$ laptop would cost 9000 NIS, as opposed to the 11500+ i'd have to pay if I wanted to get a slightly better model since they don't sell most of the more cost-efficient ones here (that model's still overpriced though, don't get me wrong -- at least assuming the 3d vapor thing isn't worth THAT much, since all it has over the other ones besides that is just 4 more vram gb and 6820hk). I did find some eBay person who sold an Alienware with all the stuff I need (i7, 980m, ssd etc.) at a more than reasonable price (~8400 NIS) and has a lot of positive feedback, though I'm not sure about the warranty -- but I also heard that Alienware have been messing up lately or something (?), so that's another question I've got for you.

Thanks in advance.

Thank you for the reply.
Do you think the differences between 6700HQ and 6820HK are going to be significant in the future? How significant are they right now? I've seen mixed opinions about this online. anti-glaire is something most other laptops listed have too and I don't know how important the dual channel memory is gonna be, though I'm pretty sure it's also something most of the other ones have. That one also doesn't have any SSD, which is something I'm particularly fond of, and I don't think extra USB ports are going to be particularly useful.

There you can find some benchmarks and see the difference is not so significant, neither won't it. You are right, the https://www.excaliberpc.com/636692/msi-gt72-dominator-pro-g-034.html is much of a better deal, you get 6 more gigs of RAM and the SSD for extra $100.

I will recommend the MSI GT72 Dominator for its gaming features, GT72 series has outstanding dual thermal system which loaded with dual module fans and 5 heat pipes cooling solution. Moreover, it comes with exclusive SHIFT manual control function that assists to minimize the noise and temperature.
