MSI LAPTOP CHOICES????

[newgamer1969]

Want a new laptop but not sure which one to go for..

GT80S 6QE or GT72S 6QF DOMINATOR

already have high spec pc but sometimes it can be to big as it's connected to 3 monitor system and a full racing chassis, so looking for something a little smaller. Not so bothered about the overclocking but i do want a good cpu and gpu.
is there much difference between I7 6700HQ VS I7 6820HK
any comments would be grateful

They are both monster machines by the looks of it.
The GT72S 6QF has the advantage of 32GB of DDR4 over the 16GB of the GT80S and also sports 2x256GB NVMe SSD as opposed a single one. These are blisteringly fast and a larger boot drive would be useful.
While I assume two GTX-980M in SLI will out perform a single GTX-980 in most cases I personally would go for the faster single card option and save faffing about with drivers to get SLI working properly in some games.
The I7-6820hk has a 100Mhz speed advantage over the I7-6700HQ and it also is multiplier unlocked, MSI allowing you to select up to a 41x multiplier via its Dragon Gaming Centre utility in Windows or via BIOS.
The GT80S is bigger and has a bigger screen and also sports a mechanical keyboard if that is of importance to you.

I have my new GT72 6QE and I have to say I am very impressed with it, either of these beasts will be great for laptop gaming.
