aren't all of these above your budget? max budget 4.5k++ means?

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.

haha you put ++ at the back i thought can spend more then 4.5k

mind share what you preference is? you want light laptop or don't care size and weight. and you want to do just work or gaming also?

I was an engineering students with some extra ability of freelance PS AE LR PR etc.

GE72 is great laptop. just go for it. 18" with 2" thick is ntg la. with better bag pack, looks cool.

I usually buy from DELL due to after sales service very good. If you want 4 core laptop and decent gaming i recommend this http://www.dell.com/my/p/inspiron-15-7559-...timonster=PD_OC

what kind of game did you plan to play?

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.
