Ok I'm Looking to get a new laptop and still battling with what to get.
Im leaning towards the gigabyte because the MSI have such terrible battery life.
Does anyone have a V$ Gigabyte or a GS40? Whats the battery like for general use not gaming. Gaming id probably be plugged into a wall anyways.
And then second point would be the P34W or the P34K. The only difference really being 8Gb of Ram which I could upgrade and the GPU. 965M and 970M. there. I know theres about a 45% increase in power with the 970M but that also and increase in price. And as i would swap the HDD with a SDD a saving in price would help. Also with only 11 watt difference between the 970 and 965 do you think you would see much of a battery drain or increasing in heat?
Any input owners might have are greatly appreciated. I like the MSI look and specs just not see keen on the battery life and as I travel a lot this is important for me for day to day tasks. Hence why im leaning towards the Gigabyte even if it isnt as pretty.
Ive Considered the Razor blade also but they're ridiculously over priced and then you'd void the warranty if you open it. If your looking to buy a high end gaming machine your going to be making some alteration to tweak it to your liking.
