GE72 > GE62/GL552 for the display size at 1080p

GL552 > GE62/GE72 for the design external look

If I were you I select GL552 since i like the design.

But when it comes for editing, I prefer big screen and wide IPS screen. But you can attached it to the external monitor like XV239h.

But if you travelling, GE72 is better. But some ppl will make fun of you of big and thick laptop.

Why dont you try see ILLIGEAR? www.illegear.com/

It looks like can easily upgrade.

btw take the high end spec like i76700hq and gtx960m4gb or higher. GL sir in study.

last time i just use cheapo laptop with superb workstation. Remote the workstation at school.

I will also recommend you to wait. But since the 1060 moblie will only come next year (a little birdie tell me this. My source is good)

If you can't wait.Get the ge62. I assumed it is the ips version,yes? The msi has;

●amazing keyboard. It's a joy to type for long hours.
●great ips matted screen
●nice cooling system. Honestly it's not that noisy at all and i doubt you will be gaming in class or in the library.
●get a cooler or the heat might spoil the battery. It's not removeable so you are pretty screwed if you do.
●the baterry level will also goes down even when pluged-in. To avoid this, only use the comfort mode as the sport mode drains the battery.

I don't think the ge72 have an ips screen. It's usually tn. Besides, the same-priced ge62 should have better spec than the ge72.

Ge62 is a tad more expensive, but noy by much and totally worth the price. MSI is now the biggest gaming notebook supplier right now,you know? You'll be with a good community.

Hi, can anyone suggest which is a better deal?

Asus K401U-BFR011T vs Acer E5 475g vs HP PAVILION 14-AB111TX

RM2500 vs RM2000 vs RM2000

i play graphics intensive games but i dont demand max settings.
I use drafting software like solidworks, autocad, mech-q engineering, hvac solution
I have a 2.6kg 15.6'' laptop it exhausts me to carry it and it looks abnormally big in public.

this is not about SS keyboards anymore. this is about 950 vs 1050, 960 vs 1060, 970 vs 1070, 980 vs 1080.
somehow i feel 1060 is more than enough for laptop user. cool temperature, better than 970 and almost the same as 980.

this is not about SS keyboards anymore. this is about 950 vs 1050, 960 vs 1060, 970 vs 1070, 980 vs 1080.
somehow i feel 1060 is more than enough for laptop user. cool temperature, better than 970 and almost the same as 980.
