Hi all
im looking for a new laptop for my work and for gaming. Im new to this and im debating between two laptop in rebate near me in Canada, the Dell G7 and the MSI gs75 stealth. For my work I dont need anything special (only word excel...). I mainly play arpg Diablo like game but now im into COD. The two laptop are nearly identical in price of 2500 canadian dollars ( or 1861 US $) But he G7 is more powerful on paper it got the RTX 2080 vs 2070 for the msi. But msi is so gorgeous.

I need advice for those two system and let know opinion.

Solution
I think the real question is: do you want to be portable or not? 15.6inch vs. 17.3inch does make a difference.

if the 17.3inch is too big for your portability needs --> get the DELL
if the 15.6inch is too small for you --> get the MSI

Good point, I will rarely move my laptop from out of my house (but still need it from time to time to go with me).
