2000 for a 970 256gb of ssd and a non g sync display? yea no

Your paying for the formfactor. You can fit this in any bag. Most gaming laptops are thick and heavy.

the laptops i listed both have g sync 

But they aren't portable at all. I stated that is not an essential feature until the 2500-3000 range, not that laptops under that price range with gsync don't exist.

ok fair enough i guess the OP will need to decide whether to get a faster bulkier laptop or a slower thinner laptop also i would argue that g sync is more important with slower computers

The Origin PC one is actually the barebones for the MSI GS60, except without the RGB keyboard.

And I recommend a Sager too, offers good performance for the price.
