A good-looking laptop around $1500?

Mns

Okay, so I'm in the hunt for a new laptop, but I am picky. I want a thin one, it doesn't need to be extremely powerful, but let me make this clear - No tablety stuff. I don't need touch screen, nor a laptop that can bend into an airplane. Just a thin one with the keyboard, screen and overall outside being functional and premium-feeling. Basically a Razer Blade but not a Razer Blade (those aren't available in my country. Because Razer + Europe =  :wacko:). It'll basically be a browsing and gaming laptop.

   I've seen a fair share of laptops that seem awesome, like the MSI GS70 or the Gigabyte Aorus X7, but they aren't available in Sweden, or they just have this one deal breaking thing like really bad build quality (which is of high priority) or extremely loud fans (video making, also high priority).

 

I'd really appreciate just a few mentions of things that might be close to what I'm going for (as I realize it might be a lot to ask for), but at this point i'm even considering buying a Macbook. So... yeah.

Wouldn't that turn the price way up though? Having it shipped? And it wouldn't have a nordic keyboard layout, which, while not 100% necessary, is pretty good to have living in sweden.

Not sure if you can replace they keyboard yourself with the Razer Blade ( doubt it) but I'd out up with that to have the best possible laptop for the price. As for delivery charges, I live in ireland and I get free delivery from the UK. Easy enough to check, go through the checkout and see if they add delivery charges. You could try Amazon Sweden otherwise

Okay, so the Razer Blade is way too pricy, I can't really go above $1500, but I just found out through MSI Nordic that there actually are a few MSI GS60 in Sweden, and that's probably what I'm gonna go for unless I find out they suck or something similar is better.

P650SE should fit your bill. mySN.eu or mySN.de should be a good place to get it, or you can import from mySN.co.uk (or scan.co.uk) as they are cheaper than the .eu and .de sites (for who the fuck knows why)

 

I have no idea what they call it there though, but if it's a 15", has 970M 3GB and a 4720HQ or 4710HQ and it's on those websites, it's a P650SE.

I have finally moved to a desktop. Also my guides are outdated as hell.
