I would like to use the laptoo for studies and some games like GTA5 and Watchdog. Which one is the better.one? I did some research and has narrowed down to these two as I prefer thinner laptops. What do you guys think?

if u hardcore gamer.. i suggest u avoid thin laptop.... px 60 should be cheaper (price per ratio) but both hv sux after sales.. wait more review or complaint to surface 1st

What about MSI PE60? Seem to be good. But new model no review yet.

As for g501 be prepare for the heat and/or thermal throttling(I think it will have thermal throttling due to the thinness.)

U really convinced that msi learn their lesson wif the kitchen ware range.... I dun really believe they gonna change.

As I mentioned in other post.. Taiwan brand got QC issues wif the new model.. So I suggest wait 2 to 4 months.. Pro n cons should surface then

Already prove the new GE range laptop can perform well with good temps.... Now waiting for PE range review.

Still new.... Aw r2 oso took 3 months to confirm heat issue

I think the unit is faulty.

What if I just want to play games during my semester break? Im.going to use my laptop for studies as well so l thats why thin and lightweight laptop is a priority to me. And if I add HP OMEN to the list, which one is better? I really dont know how to make a choice

Thin and gaming doesn't go hand in hand due to heat and you need a fat wallet.

If you can handle the heat and bad after sale service the g501 is fine as its hardware is capable for gaming.

HP omen is also a good choice as seeing that it is a premium product. But the port are at the back of the chassis. After sale service is also fine (I have encounter it before as I use HP laptop.)

Aww man I know right, so is there amy other options in that my budget range? 3k-4.5 k

Like i said thin gaming laptop, you would need a big fat wallet.

So my suggestion is as follow.

Get a decent laptop
Then hunt for a good laptop bag to ease the stress.
Get a laptop bag with broad shoulder pad to ease the pressure on the shoulder and when you carry it dont let it "hang" behind your back. You would not feel much of the weight of the laptop.


Apart from what you have told me.

Illegear Z5,Q series
MSI GE62
Lenovo Y50
Acer Nitro

Inspiron 7447... Peaceful mind wif the after sales

The only thin ad light gaming notebook (2-2.1kg)around now are only HP Omen (860m) and Asus G501 (960m). I would suggest HP Omen even tho using a older version gpu (performance around 10% less than 960m). HP Omen should be more suitable for a girl due to it's premium look and quality. Asus G501 may look decent but now got issue with their heat dissipation and of course, not-so-ok after sales service.

The rest of the notebook are good but heavier with weight 2.4kg and above (Lenovo Y50, Acer Vnitro, Illegear Z5, etc), price range about the same.

Z5 is the best bang of buck if you EXCLUDE OS. Z5 provides the best air ventilation so far and better price spec ratio, as long as you exclude OS.
But the weight and look is not suitable for girls I believe. If I'm to choose between Asus G501 or HP Omen, I will go for Omen, but I will go for 512gb SSD variant since I find the other storage option to be very limiting. Few games and your storage are almost full. Eg: GTA V used 60gb+, imagine you got other game like Wolfenstein or Witcher 3. But of course that 512gb variant is out of your budget

, waiting for review to be sure.

Is it possible to add 1TB HDD to the hp omen? And how much would it be if its possible?

Dun think so.. no slot for extra hdd

wow then I guess HP Omen would be a wate of money if I cant add in extra Hdd, the 512gb ssd is too expensive for me. I really dont know which laptop to buy now😯😯

Looking at the new game line up... get a rig n a normal laptop better... those requirements r so crazy.. gtx 660 minimum most of the time.. tat is gtx 780m in laptop.. which make anything below gtx 970m hving trouble to play...

Nope. Go and get an external hard disk or save in the cloud.
