The MSI GT60-0ne seems to offer the best package:
1. Decent build quality, matte 1080p screen, and weight
2. Good speakers, audio port and keyboard
3. Good warranty and customer service
4. Easy to maintain and tinker with, BIOS with many options (for a laptop)
5. High-powered GPU with GDDR5 VRAM
It lacks the professional look and build quality of a business-grade laptop and next business day support.
I would sacrifice GPU power for a laptop with #1-4.
