What I need the laptop for: school and multimedia design/gaming/HD-4K movies.
I really want a nice screen with the laptop, hence the 3K/4K specs. I am aiming for the 4K but I heard that the MSI laptop has the screen locked to 48hz refresh. However, if its really not that noticeable, I will get it. So, for those who own this laptop, I really appreciate it if you could provide me with that input.
What also matters: solid Intel i7 CPU (preferably 5th gen), some high end graphics (970m or 980m minimum, SLI may be ideal seeing the 965m SLI) and 16 GB DDR3L RAM (min 1600MHz) Hard drive can be 128GB SSD minimum and a 1TB HDD, and 802.11 ac
Added bonus: HD camera, upgradable RAM to 32gb, and so on...
Also, I am looking at the warranty specs of each company and how they handle with RMA/repairs in case of anything happens. I would have went with an ASUS laptop since I had one before and they were really good with customer service and repairs, but so far there isn't an ASUS laptop that has the above specs.
My budget is £1900. If anyone can find another good laptop around that range I would appreciate the help.
TL;DR- What laptop should I choose, can y'all help me please? Also need to know about MSI and Gigabytes' warranty and how they handle customers with repairs?
