Hello guys so in about 2 months i will be going on a business trip  for 2 weeks and i will have to have a laptop to work on while im away and my current laptop is some cheap old hp from 2013 and it won't really hold up because of course i want to game while im away! So i looked for a good slim gaming laptop wich was very hard. But in the end i found the Msi GE72 wich has very good storage and other specs is pretty slim and it cost only like $900 here in Sweden! :) Only drawback for me tough is that it's fucking RED!!! My personal color scheme is black and blue but hey nothing is perfect i'll maybe even paint it blue if it's safe is it??? Anyway what do you think is it worth it or do you have some other ideas please tell me! And thank you for your time.

 

Edit: Extra question does it have backlightning???

painting the red things on that laptop blue will not be easy, and it will be very hard to take the thing apart without breaking some things if you have never done it before.

i suggest you look at maybe something by Origin or Asus. i believe they have gaming laptops that are just entirely black!

In about 2 months, You may see some new laptops on sites.

 

Or the MSI GE72 can get price cut.

 

About the painting, Use Plastidip for painting. Cover all the ports and gaps while painting.

also for a business trip, I would get something that looks neutral. Something non-childish looking. avoid the gamer look if you know what I mean.

 

 

just my 2 cents.

lol I have a Macbook Pro. It was given to me though. (I dont like OS X, so I run and use windows only on it xD) (but at least i have OS X if I ever need it for some weird software)

 

its not a bad experience, just I would never spend this much money on a laptop with integrated graphics lol

If you want to game though I definetly wouldnt go with a Macbook Pro.
