Morning all
I'm looking at a gaming laptop to be used on my work travels and for JR to use on holidays. I can see Gigabyte, MSI and Asus all have products around this range. Any real world experiences or advice to share? Due to it being lugged around from time to time the key physical requirements are:
Not too heavy
Solid build
Keyboard you can genuinely comfortably play games with (mainly fps, rts and sim)
Hardware wise discrete gpu, 16gb and an ssd to make sure it can cope with more or less anything but I'm happy to work that side out myself.
I am also assuming a sturdy carrier and separate mouse are a must for proper use.
Battery life not a huge issue.
Planning to wait until post CES models hit the shelves (either to bag a new one or take advantage of price drops on the current ranges).
Many thanks in advance.
Edit: a few hundred either way for the right kit is worth it!
