thinking of getting this too as alternative for xps 13.

yeah very good, the only downside is no thunderbolt 3 (well it depends if you can utilize it).

mx150 GPU + i5 825u (8th gen) CPU





i just want to play Dota 2 for gaming and seems like it can handle it very well.
will mostly use for work and autocad software maybe.

msi PS42 mx150 (RM3999)
vs
HP Envy 13 mx150 (RM3800)

which one is recommended? better cooling?
the hp envy 13's mx150 is the lower voltage version of mx150.

for browsing, basic words/excel and a lot of dota 2.

do recommend other with similar spec and price if got.
what im afraid the most is cooling, cause i will play a lot of dota 2.
