In need of help

Hi, I am looking for help. I want to buy a new laptop (notebook). I have made a list of possible choises, with reasons why I have chosen them. I can´t decide which one should I buy. Thats why I have decided to post here. I would like to hear your oppinion. To be clear, I am a student, on a budget and I would like to play some games ( e.g. Witcher 3).

I would personally go for the MSI GF75 8RD-018CZ, just cause its the one who got the max battery life, and storage is easily upgradable if you need more. It do got a pretty weak gpu compared to the others (about 60% slower but still is pretty good), but if you are going to do some heavy gaming, you could maybe turn the settings down a bit to medium/high, and it will do fine. And i personally dont really need higher refresh rates than 60. 60 is fine, ive played with it many years, and i would rather have better battry life, so i can sit on trains or airplanes and play, rather than having a 120hz screen, just for smooth gameplay etc.

I would go for the msi too MSI GP73 8RE-624CZ Leopard.120hz might sound a gimmic but once you use it you will see that you cant go back to 60hz and thats from a guy with 60hz monitor who has only tried it on a laptop,so even tho i did not have time to get used to 144hz just going back to 60hz is choppy.No money no honey tho.Same with 120hz.

the 3rd option would be my choice. 

 

Fairly balanced, fine GPU. sSD on the small side, but has additional 1TB storage. You also get a 120hz panel which is nice when gaming. 

 

MSI B450 Pro Gaming Pro Carbon AC | AMD Ryzen 2700x  | NZXT  Kraken X52  MSI GeForce RTX2070 Armour | Corsair Vengeance LPX 32GB (4*8) 3200MhZ | Samsung 970 evo M.2nvme 500GB Boot  / Samsung 860 evo 500GB SSD | Corsair RM550X (2018) | Fractal Design Meshify C white | Logitech G pro WirelessGigabyte Aurus AD27QD

Thank you for your help. I agree that 120hz is very good choise. RAM can be upgraded and long battery life is not a neccesity so I will probbably buy MSI Leopard. Thanks again for your help.
