GE70: http://www.amazon.com/MSI-GE70-Apache-Pro-061-17-3-Inch/dp/B00IMTQ4BK/ref=sr_1_9?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1423801193&sr=1-9&keywords=msi+gaming+laptop

 

 

It's a tossup. I really like the 17.3 inch screen on the GE70, but I believe the i7 4700HQ in the GE60 is better than that i5 4200H in the GE70. I think sacrificing 2 inches on the screen size would we worth the extra 2 cores, and 4 threads.

 

BUT! The GE70 has a GTX 860m, while the GE60 has a 850m. Both have DDR5 Memory. 8 gigs of ram on both.

 

But what's your opinion on the GE60 & GE70 overall? They look like decent gaming laptops.

 

I wouldn't be running anything SUPER intensive either. 1-2 year old games.

 

Let me know your opinions!

I would go with the GE60 for the CPU. For laptops, I find that I run out of CPU power more often. Then again, I rarely game on my laptop.

That's what I was thinking. I mean, I have a great desktop pc, I just go places a lot, so it's nice to have something when I do travel.

Better CPU > Screen size, specially if you already got a kickass gaming PC and will only use the laptop as a sort of "nicotine patch" when you're away.

Hi,

 

Go for GE60.
