Choosing between 2 gaming laptops

[maxirs8]

Hi guys, can you help me here? I need to choose between 2 gaming laptops (I can't get a desktop)

Acer Predator G9-792-786H    here

MSI GE72 6QF Apache Pro     here    here

In my country (Romania) the prices are almost the same

Thank you for your help

in terms of prices they are almost the same

in terms of gaming performance they are pretty much identical

 

chose whichever is cheaper or looks better,

watch youtube unboxings and reviews for both - what do people say about cooling and build quality

[GarnetDevil]

These two are almost identical, but whatever has freebies pick one

 

Acer gifts shittons of stuff for purchasing a Predator laptop where I live (backpack, mouse, headset, mousepat)

but the acer has a better battery and is heavier.

I forgot to say that the acer predator has in fact 6GB of Vram vs 3Gb (msi)

Both are very similar, but the Predator is heavier and has got that cooling thingy. Watch some reviews of both and throw a coin.

in that case go with predator

what I don't like about the predator is that it has a 60Hz screen with no G-sync...

but...but...but...a 970m doesn't really need 6GB of Vram so in the end, does it matter??

if he MSI has a g-sync 60hz display then go with the MSI but if one of them is an IPS panel then take the IPS panel over basically anything as colours=better experience for everything

Just slap V-sync on it and it will be fine. With a 970m you won't be gaming at 244Hz

by itself it doesn't

but are you okay with replacing your gaming laptop in a year or two?

are you okay to play games with low textures in a year or two?

 

there is a reason why mobile chips are equipped with higher amounts of VRAM - to make the machine last for 4~5 years

I'd go with the MSI. I've had a ton of luck with them here in the US and their customer service has been pretty damned good. Hopefully its the same in your country.

I think the Acer is the best choice....

Thank you a lot guys!

The MSI comes with a LOT better customer support - Acer really fail at that. I'd suggest the GT72 - it also has a better keyboard
