New laptop

[Monkey5283]

I’m looking at getting a new gaming laptop. 
is the MSI Thin GF75 9SC-052CA 17.3-inch Notebook good or any good recommendations on other ones. Under $2000 preferably. Gaming laptop also.
thanks

Not to be that guy but is there any specific reason you want to go laptop over desktop?

Ahh I see, just checking. Whats the CPU, GPU config on the MSI Laptop? When I search the model number you linked it pulls up all of the GF75 models not a specific combo.

Don't know how much you were looking at it for but it's listed on Amazon for $1018 and for $1124 you can get the RTX 2060 120hz display version. So $100 more and you get a much better GPU and a higher refresh rate panel.

The 2020 Dell G7 17" Gaming laptops are also pretty reasonable.

For the extra $100 I'd definitely get at least a 2060. A 1650 is just too weak IMO if your budget is up to $2k.
