Need a Gaming Laptop in a few months.

[Statik]

Hey guys, so I’m a big advocate against gaming laptops, but later this year I’m going to be going away for ~6 months and won’t have my desktop, so I’m looking into a laptop.

- it will primarily be used for gaming/watching movies/browsing the web

- 144hz

- 1440p if possible, but if not I’ll settle for 1080p

- I would like a more professional clean look over a giant gaming monstrosity

- good cooling

- a decent keyboard

- A budget of $1500 CAD, granted if it’s worth it I’m flexible for a bit more.

 

i also don’t need this laptop for about 4-5 months, so I’m also able to wait for new releases, or sales.

 

thanks, and sorry for bad formatting, I’m on my phone

Clean look vs decent cooling so far has been kind of a contradiction in terms.

well, the new msi line of laptops looks nicer that before, they just have the logo in red but you can find them in black, they dont have the "gamer look", i bought a GF63 THIN for light gaming and graphic desing on the go, after you adjust the fan curve i felt a pretty solid machine, the downside is the cooling, with only one fan, i think the GF65 has two fans, the keyboard is decent, not fan of the font they choose, but you can sell it pretty easy after you´re done with the computer when you return to your desktop

No point in doing any recommendations now, in that case. Honest advice? Wait and ask again closer to the date you have in mind. Too much can change in that period of time for a good recommendation.
