Hi guys, I wanna buy myself a laptop and I need your advice and expertise. My budget is between €1000 and €1500. I want at the very least 8 GB of RAM (16 would be nice), a 500 GB hard drive (1 TB would be nice) and an actual graphics card (not just a chipset). My main uses will be music edition (I need quite a lot of RAM and disk space for that), and the usuals (surfing on the Internet, watching videos, etc.). If I can play games on it, it will be very nice, but it's not my priority. Please guys, advise me!  |

I really can't offer first-hand advice on laptops, having never owned a 'decent' one. I just wanna throw out there that a great site to research prospective purchases is NewEgg - even if you don't buy there, they have a nice layout to view specifications and make comparisons; and it's another source of user reviews to look over. Good luck, and let us know what you come up with! |

OK so, after hours spent comparing laptops, I finally managed to narrow it down to 2 laptops: Asus G552VW-DM265T and MSI GE62 6QD-037FR Apache Pro. They have almost the same specs: • CPU: Intel i7 6700-HQ, quad-core, 2.6 GHz • RAM: 16 GB DDR4 • screen: 15.6" - 1920x1080 px The things that differ: | Asus G552 | MSI GE62 | | 256 GB SSD | 128 GB SSD | | 5400 RPM 1 TB hard drive | 7200 RPM 1 TB hard drive | | NVidia GeForce GTX 960M 2 GB | NVidia GeForce GTX 960M 4 GB | | matte screen treated against reflections | - |
Both cost almost the same (only a €50 difference), so that's a bit of a dilemma for me! Can you help me decide? |

I'm an Asus guy, but I'd say go for MSI. I've heard good things about them as well.

Zigg Go for a Laptop with a 970M! for example the MSI GT72/GE62 - you can buy a windows key off of reddit for 10€ and download it onto a usb stick. You'll have a much more powerful experience!
