Hi,
I'm looking at spending maximum £650 on a laptop that I can take to college with me and do some gaming on (CSGO, Arma MAYBE and a few others), and I've whittled it down to two laptops.
Lenovo Ideapad 710S Plus: http://www3.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/ideapad/700-series/Lenovo-IdeaPad-710S-Plus-13ISK/p/88IP70S0793#galleryPhoto
(I'd get the core I5 model with the 940MX)
MSI GL62: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MSI-GL62-Intel-Core-i5-7300HQ-15-6-Full-HD-GTX960-8GB-RAM-128GB-SSD-/371948296355?hash=item5699d898a3:g:3XsAAOSwjDZYfKi1
Both laptops are the exact same price but I'm struggling to choose between them. The Lenovo has pretty good specs and could probably run CSGO at a decent frame rate, but the MSI is just so much better in terms of raw power because of the Kaby Lake CPU and the 960m. The only thing stopping me from buying the MSI is the avg. 3 hour battery life with minimum use and the bulkiness of the machine.
My question is this:
What would you choose and why?
