I want to buy a gaming laptop. My budget is $1500. I want to buy a laptop in black friday sale. I have been searching the web a lot for gaming laptops. I am a college student. I need to take my laptop with me to classes. So far, I have found these two laptops which suit my needs.
1. MSI GS Series GS60 Ghost-007
http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152567
Pros according to me: Weighs just 4.5 lbs, Thin, light, 128 gig SSD. $200 less price, Fully customizable steelseries keyboard.
Cons according to me: No extra slot for adding HDD or SSD (Not customizable), heats up when gaming according to laptopmag review, GTX860m compared to GTX970m of ASUS.
2. ASUS ROG G751 Series G751JT-CH71
http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834232202
Pros according to me: This laptop I think is best for gaming, better CPU, GTX970m maxwell GPU, great cooling even at extreme gaming according to laptopmag review, expandability in terms of adding extra SSD/HDD and RAM.
Cons according to me: This laptop weighs 9.9lbs, this laptop doesnt have an SSD, although I can add one myself later but again that will add to the total cost., Non customizable keyboard, price is $200 more.
SO guys what do you think I should compromise on? Weight? graphics? SSD? keyboard?
And one more thing is which brand is better in after sales service?
Thanks in advance for the suggestions.
Please suggest if there are any other better laptop choices for my budget which I might have missed.
Thank You
