Btw previously i had a sager, alienware and now using a second hand illegear. To me, if u want to buy for mainly gaming purpose u should just buy a second hand. Why?

1. U can get it for half of the price. My first sager and alienware are new. After about 2years, it started to reach the limit of gpu. The alienware cant handle the heat efficiently compare to sager.

2. Gaming laptop is so exp but when u sell, only can get half of the price eventhough only used for a year.

3. When u bought a second hand gaming laptop at price 2.5k-3k u can gaming till the next year. Then sell it at 2k,topup 1k and bought a secondhand but newer version.

This is from my point of view, feel free to discuss here.

To me illegear or sager based laptop are quite good, alienware got bling2 which nice to see..but it cannot handle the heat efficiently.

Never try asus rog..but this newer version of asus seem good with red vent. Msi also i never try b4. Feel free to share ur exp using gaming laptop. icon_rolleyes.gif

My own POV-

1/ If you don't mind about warranty, get a 2nd hand.

2/ If you really want after sell service, get a new one.

3/ But if you are a heavy or hardcore gamer, wanting to have a better performance, satisfaction, long term upgarding & less hassle for troubleshooting, then get a PC.

Hi, my classmate is using the MSI GS70 red limited edition. Her bf bought for her as her bday present. I did play once with the GTV 5 when I play the game with the setting omg everything is very smooth , not just only that the speakers was dam good tho. we usually play the LOL together. compare to my personal one due its not the gaming model so might not able to run that smooth as her. but if one day i have money to buy the gaming model i will go for MSI. (if i have money and if i have a such rich boy friend@@)
