    Yeah I agree. I think I'm going to end up going with the MSI Raider over the MSI Stealth. Firstly because of the Raiders durability, and secondly because apparently the Super in the Raider is more powerful than the Super Max-Q in the Stealth.

    All of the reviews that I read that mentioned it being flimsy said that the case around the screen flexes really easily, and the casing for the base bends inward too much.

    I'm looking to purchase a top-tier high end gaming Laptop like this one. https://www.newegg.com/matte-black-msi-gs75-stealth-10sgs-027-gaming-entertainment/p/2WC-000C-01894 However the reviews are saying that the casing is super flimsy. Which is keeping me from making the purchase. I tried looking around for an MSI Raider with the same specs ( 10th gen i9 with a 2080 Super Max-Q), however it doesn't seem to exist. The MSI Raider has the durability that I'm looking for when compared to the MSI Stealth. However it doesn't have the GPU customization option that I'm looking for. So I'm trying to find out if there's a durability enhancing case for the casing of the MSI Stealth so that I can get what I'm looking for. Otherwise I might have to wait around 6-8 months for a newer laptop build to come out. Any suggestions?

    Yeah, that looks nice. I'm just a complete noob when it comes to computer/laptop specs though. I don't know the differences between AMD, and Intel chip sets. So pretty much everything I know/have looked up for my potential laptop build included Intel's 10th gen i9 cpu. Since it seemed to be the easiest to look up/find. Is there a possibility of finding a laptop that has the highest specs that I can get, while also not being too flimsy? I don't mind if the laptop is a little chunky. I just don't want it to be like a jet engine.

    I appreciate the builds shown on Razer's website. However the i7 cpu doesn't seem to fit my needs for what I plan to do with the laptop. 16gb ram is probably also the bare minimum I would need, but it's still a bit too little. Is there a way to maybe increase the durability of a laptop's casing, so as to take care of some of the downfalls of a couple of certain builds?

    Budget (including currency): $3500-$4000(max) Country: United States Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Digital Art Studios, Extensive VR experiences, Hardcore FPS Gaming Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): https://www.newegg.com/matte-black-msi-gs75-stealth-10sgs-027-gaming-entertainment/p/2WC-000C-01894 From my last post, people have suggested that I go through MSI for a compatible laptop for my needs. I've looked through everything they have, and I've decided on the specs provided by the MSI GS75 Stealth laptop. However the reviews keep saying that the casing is very flimsy, so I wanted to get a laptop with all of the specs provided, but in a different laptop. Like the MSI Raider. However the MSI Raider apparently doesn't have access to a 2080 Super Max-Q graphics card. I really want this laptop to be future proofed for the next 5-8 years. So a 10th gen i9 processor, and a 2080 Super Max-Q or the latest equivalent of said Graphics card/CPU are a must. I really like the look of the gemstone-esq/candy-like RGB keys on the keyboard provided for these 2 laptops. I don't want to purchase a tower, as I plan on taking my VR rig(s) with me when I go camping, or to festivals. So I need to be as mobile as possible. Thanks for the help!

    So, I'm not sure if this laptop will be available when I have all of the money collected for it. Is there a website where I might be able to have it built, then sent to me that's not Newegg?

    Maybe 9 years ago I think I remember linking 2 computers together using 2 USB cords. It seemed to have worked, as I was able to transfer files between the two. Would that still be possible?
  9. Baseal13
    Is it possible to link laptops together to share information between them?
  10. Baseal13
    That looks really nice. I like the coloring, and how crisp it looks. It doesn't have an optical drive though, which kind of sucks. I still have my current laptop though, so it should be fine, unless I end up with a game disk, or I want to rip some files off of some optical drive discs that I have to back up files.
  11. Baseal13
    I mean, this IS my first time having to have a PC/laptop built for a specific purpose, instead of me just buying a showcase model, or something different. That laptop looks really nice, I wouldn't mind spending that little extra money on it either. Is it possible that it has a bigger screen at the cost of hz? I'm not too fond of the smaller screen sizes for laptops. I must apologise for me not mentioning the i9. I guess I didn't mention that, however I would've assumed that it was implied by how I worded the OP. As an i7 isn't exactly future proof.
  12. Baseal13
    The first link isn't what you say it is. Also I would prefer having i9's as VR works best on it.
  13. Baseal13
    I read through the review, and it seems like I could do better. Do you have any suggestions? I would like to be able to keep as many of the features that I have as possible though. A DVD/CD drive is definitely one of the things that I want for my system.
  14. Baseal13
    Review? Which one is limited by poor cooling? How would I be able to increase the cooling capacity of said options?
  15. Baseal13
    Well the only actual games out for VR that I would be trying to play when I get the VR headset are probably half life Alex, beatsaber, VR chat, boneworks, and a couple of others. I figured that with the specs I have currently selected for the new laptop I would at least be able to play them smoothly. If they're not up to par enough, what would you recommend? Would an external GPU enclosure help at all, even in the future?
  16. Baseal13
    Those specs seem nice/okay. The laptop itself doesn't look as nice though, and there's no real option for customizing the build. Amazon is also known for price gouging, so I would like to not have to buy from them if I don't have to.
  17. Baseal13
    Ohhh, that might work, but I'm not sure. The current laptop I have is an HP Pavilion 17 Notebook PC Product number K3N47AV Serial number 5CD5203CCR The external GPU enclosure seems a bit bulky for my needs. It would be nice if I was just trying to get an entry level of VR until I get something better. However I would like to/plan to spend the money on something a bit more portable. As that would match my needs a bit more. As I plan on basically investing in VR, I don't think the GPU enclosure fits my needs at this moment. The plan is that my first official VR headset is going to be a Valve index, with plans on maybe purchasing the newer Enterprise headset that was just announced for around $3200 USD. As I would be planning on moving around a bit, I want to be able to take my rig, and my VR setup with me wherever, and hauling something that's potentially around 15 pounds or so isn't going to be very helpful in that endeavor.

    I've actually got a bunch of questions.
  19. Baseal13
    Thank you for the welcoming! Could I please have some more information about that? This is basically the first time I've had to "build" a system for a specific purpose. I don't have any idea what I'm actually doing, even though I've watched a bunch of the videos that get posted. The laptop has (I believe) 3 USB 3.0 ports, and 1 USB-C port. Would the external GPU+ enclosure be plugged into the C port?

    I wanted to get into VR gaming for a while, and about a month ago I decided to run a few tests to see if my current PC/laptop was VR compatible, and the only issue was that the graphics card needed to be upgraded. However due to the nature of the PC/laptop that I currently have, upgrading the graphics card isn't very feesible. The card is apparently integrated into the motherboard, so I can't just swap it out, and I basically have to upgrade in order to even play in VR. So I decided to get a VR compatible gaming laptop. However, even though I basically think I know what build I want to get, I'm not sure if it's the best thing to get with how much I plan on spending on it. The objective is to be able to play the Valve Index flawlessly, and nearly seamlessly, as well as being somewhat future proof in case newer vr headsets come out with a higher refresh rate. My budget it $3200 USD including tax. I'm willing to go maybe $200 USD more than that if it means something a bit better, however I would like a laptop. As it would allow me to be more mobile if I wanted to take my headset(s) around with me. Included is a list of parts, and the current computer that I have my eye on. Suggestions would be very helpful if it would mean that I'm able to get the most out of the money that I would be spending for this venture. The cost of the build shown in this post is about $3200 USD after tax, with a coupon code for a discount.
