Hi Guys,

I am looking for a gaming laptop up to the £1500 range. I have been looking at the following laptops, but thought i'd check to see if anyone knew of any issues, or better options etc.

MSI GP73 LEOPARD 8RF-625UK
ASUS ROG GL703GS NVIDIA GTX 1070

Thanks in advance.

You'd need to google the above to find it.

Thank you got it, though not sure how well the RX2070 stacks up to the GTX1070.

From benchmarks it seems negligible? Maybe bigger gap for higher res.

RTX lower temps?

If you read through the numerous threads on NBR the RTX cards are all running at lower temps than Pascal cards.
