So I've been using a 2008 MBP which I've upgraded over the years with a new SSD and 8GB ram. However I'm finding it very slow, especially when playing Football Manager.
I think the time has come to upgrade. I've been looking at alternatives to MBPs that will allow me to do some light gaming.
So far my options are as follows:
Alienware R15 - Skylake i6700 with 16GB ram and a 980M 4GB GPU, 1TB HDD: around £1400 with the 12% black friday coupon
OR
MSI GS60 6QE - Skylake i6700 with 8GB ram and a 970M 3GB GPU.
This one has 1 TB and 128tb SSD - £1,257
Not sure which one to get, I could save a bit and get the MSI but I'm not sure how different the performance would be between the two. I would look to update the RAM in the MSI to 16GB also.
Any thoughts on which one to pick?
