ASUS ROG GL552VW vs MSI GP62 6FQ

[Elliott Veares]

Just want your guys opinions on what is the better laptop. Both are i5-6300HQ, 8GB RAM, have a 1TB HDD and 128Gb SSD, and have 2GB GTX 960M.

Not keen one either keyboards, I prefer chamfered keys that but up against each other, like I have on my Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 800, but does not seem to be popular these days with gaming laptops.

I do play a bit of gaming, but only GTA V & MS Flight Simulator X; most of my other work is using general office applications.

Does anyone know of a better laptop for my needs up to the budget of £700. 17" size is also ok, but must have equal or higher specs than the ones that I have linked.

Win 10 Pro is also a benefit as I run my own domain environment at home on a home built rack server, but can easily upgrade to Windows 10 pro otherwise.

I would go for the msi as you get more storage.
