I am currently looking at two laptops which are £800 or less. One is the MSI GL62MVR and the other is a custom built laptop from PC specialist (Picture of specs below). I am working on a budget and need something that has a GPU capable of playing games at a decent fps. The MSI has a better GPU and an IPS screen, but an older CPU and less storage. I assume it has a decent keyboard as well. The PC specialist one has more storage, a 256gb pci-e ssd and a 240gb ssd with a newer I5 laptop CPU but with only a 1050ti 4Gb model. What would be the better option? Thanks. I am open to suggestions too as I can get discounts on Microsoft surface laptops, HP (including omen) and dell laptops. Thanks.

There's a forum rule forbidding the mentioning of competitors.

And anything over the MSI.

MSI are untrustworthy after mis-selling gaming laptops worldwide. There is an ongoing class action in the USA.

How are they untrust worthy? I still see many people buying MSI laptops and you tubers endorsing MSI products.

Also if there is a rule forbidding anything to do with MSI why are OCUK selling their devices and doing a bundle deal on the GL62 MVR

MSI are not a competitor.

Look at my quote of your post and what I asterisked out.

Feel free to click the link in my sig for more information about MSI or any of the following links:

Alright I get how that seems like they lied however I really don't mind about that. As long as I can get a decent laptop which can do my work and run some light games from time to time I will be fine. Anyway before I do what do you think about the FX503VM from ASUS? https://www.overclockers.co.uk/asus...-7300hq-8gb-ddr4-gaming-laptop-lt-25m-as.html

The FX503VM gets some good reviews on notebookcheck.

My links about MSI was simple to demonstrate how they treat their customers and is not notebook/component specific.

I would be weary until after the class action is resolved at least.
