hi dear lowyat forumer, im a multimedia student and i need a laptop within 3k to 4.3k budget.
i did research alot and interest in either of this :

MSI PE60 (i heard the screen is good for design)

ASUS G551JW (from what i seen, it not a dual fan? )

MSI GE62 2QL (lower gpu, gtx 950m gpu but dual fan)

DELL INSPIRON 7447 (the spec is lower than the notebook above but the after sales is better)

so can you please give me an advice, which one should i really go for? im going to buy it tommorow, thank you

Your using it for design i presume?

All the above is good in terms of specs. Just take the one your prefer. I'll go for the MSI PE60 because of the screen and good spec.

Or top up a bit and check out Illegear.

For student y u need so high end GPU.. if design use mind as well take Inspiron 5548,7548.. 4k screen wif Radeon r7 m270 should be enuf..

oh okay, but the inspiron 7548 is dual core right? i tot having quad core will make video rendering alot faster

Rendering is GPu job... Quad core sub... if u need a multipurpose then 7447 more than enuf to handle ur college works... n 7447 Xps grade quality...

Err no still use CPU while GPU is just to accelerate it...

Ya kah... no comment then... I find not much different in ulv n quad core... but k4100m n gtx 980m different alot (same processor) so I deduced tat GPU mainly... 3d rendering n video rendering different?

Video rendering is more CPU intense.. Personally tried that. If you're rendering a very big video, quad core sometimes can speed up your process by hours.
I think those 2 got lot of different is because like Arthun said, GPU you speed up or enhance the process, in this case the CPU is same so it is up to the GPU to decide which is faster.

P.S: So I'm finally back to lowyat.. been on hiatus for months

Video rendering n 3d rendering outcome different? My results base on 3d rendering..

Where u been? Fire in the hole too much?

Using asus g551jm for engineering autocad or things like solidwork.
lagged a bit , but i am sure thats because of the 4gb RAM , will add 4gb somemore
Other than that awesome .
dont know abt others though

if i were to choose among them i'd choose G551JW
because 960m 4GB, others either 950m, 850m, or just 2GB VRAM
so the order is : G551JW > GE62 2QL > PE60 > Inspiron 7447
assuming you upgrade to 16GB RAM

if you focus on CPU, then :
GE62 2QL > G551JW > PE60 > Inspiron 7447
but GE62 is only good at CPU part.

make sure your purchase is IPS 1920x1080 full HD, some machine has only HD variables, or 8GB RAM, or slower CPU.

thanks for replying everyone, bought the dell inspiron 7447 due to dell reputation (after sale service). Since im still student and more to casual gamer, rarely play much.

good choice.. how much u bought?

For GPU,
both G551 & PE60 using same GTX960M
** G551 had 2gb & 4gb version, while PE60 only 2gb (But both give similar performance)
So the order should be
( PE60 = G551 ) > GE62@950M > 7447@850M


For CPU,
GE62 new batch will be broadwell, same as PE60, while G551 & 7447 still using Haswell
So sequence
(PE60 = GE62@new batch) > G551 >= 7447

Budget too wide

Warranty > Dell, no question.

Spec > PE60

GE62 is same as PE60

Kindly refer below quote

But both using same chassis

PE60
GE62

Outcome will be different.
Work lo.. been busy working.. since now still probation so a lot stuff need to learn

Dun too hardworking when u probation.. later low increment...probation time angkat ur senior time

GE62 price?G551JW price?maybe i get mine October..

msi ge62-2ql 3799, g551jw with gtx960m 2 gb DDR5 Ram also 3799

if you play game, pretty hardcore, then i suggest GE62

if you dont really game, PE60 is for you.
