Good evening all,
Its the run up to Christmas and i get to treat myself.
Im looking for a new laptop, currently i have a MSIGE60 2PL (15INCH). Its a little old, had a few bluescreens on me in the last few months, but currently handles everything in my steam library, no big new titles for a while but did me through Crysis, Duex Ex, dishonored, Half Life 2, Metro all good.
Im gonna be in the US in early Jan then the UK in mid Jan but would prefer to buy in the US as i work near there most of the year.
Im looking for a laptop
I was initially set on a MSI Stealth for around $2k, but saw some very good priced PS63 Modern that seemed very light and good battery life for just over $1k. Ive also seen a lot of good reviews of the ACER Predator Helios for around $1k too. Is the stealth really worth the extra? I dont do a lot of online stuff due to poor net connection so no competitive online gaming, no need to for extra macro keys, backlit keyboards etc.
Seems there is actually a good selection out there these days! Any help in narrowing it down appreciated!

Im looking for a laptop
- 15 inch screen
- Average battery life (but will pretty much always be used plugged in on a table/desk/surface)
- Light/thin (i travel a lot in live in very small cabins on ships, current laptop size/weight would be upper limit, 38.3cmsX24.9cmsX3.7cms 2.4kgs)
- Major uses, gaming and editing drone footage (not 4k)
- Average HD/SSD (I use 2 externals for constant backup and just keep regular used files on the laptop + steam library)
- Budget - UP TO $2k USD / $1500GBP if i had to, $1.5k preferred.
