Gaming laptop showdown

[Thechize]

Hey guys i am thinking about buying either the asus rog g750js or the msi gt60 dominator 424. I want to know witch is better nevermind the cost. I would be willing to spend more money on something better. Thank You!

I'd go with the asus, slightly less powerful CPU (4700HQ compared to msi's 4800MQ), same GPU, 16GB RAM instead of MSI's 8GB, bigger screen, 1TB HDD + 256GB SSD instead of MSI's 1TB HDD. If you don't mind shelling out 100-150$ more, i'd definetely go with the Asus

I'd say, best of the best. alienware 18, 4700-4800-4900-4930 i7, sli gtx 860m-870m-880m. 16-32gb ram, ssd/hhd galore (starting $2200-4500)

Otherwise, Asus JZ 4700, 880m, and either 256 (128x2 in raid) or 512gb (256x2 in raid), 24 or 32gb ram), either $2300 or 2800 depending which harddrive/ram one you go with.

I have the JS model, with 4700 and 870m, came with 16gb ram and 256gb ssd with 1tb 7200rpm hhd. That was $1800

Note, msi is also good, but it gives you the best performance for price, Once your talking $2000+ though, the other asus/alienware models then have top specs and are slightly better in all other areas.

For $1750 you get the Asus g750 js with 4700 and 870m with an 256gb ssd.

For $1800 you get msi with 4800, 880m.

The one linked above msi wise is an $1400 config, not sure why he posed a more expensive one.
