Newegg or Amazon?

[a1pha132]

Hi! I'm wondering which is best, amazon or newegg? I'm planning on buying this laptop (for the third time ): 

 

MSI GE62 Apache Pro 004

 

http://www.amazon.com/MSI-GE62-Apache-Pro-004-i7-6700HQ/dp/B0150PJR3K/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1460005115&sr=1-2&keywords=MSI+GE62

 

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152947&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&PageSize=10&SelectedRating=-1&VideoOnlyMark=False&IsFeedbackTab=true#scrollFullInfo

 

I also considered this one, but I thought it had too much red:

 

ASUS ROG GL552VW-DH71

 

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01578ZKPO/ref=psdc_565108_t1_B015QZVA6G

 

I'm still a bit unsure about which site is the best and which laptop I should buy, so help is much appreciated!

Thanks for taking the time to read this! Have a nice day!

Not always true.

As I see you also live in California, we have Ontrac as one day delivery which I personally find AMAZING.

and USPS/UPS/FedEx are all fine, and everybody uses them, not just Amazon

stop buying the same laptop and get something that wont fail for a third time

if this is the reason that you have bought the same laptop twice, then @Enderman makes a good point

amazon needs to put that "fragile" sticker on the package

I buy from both although tend to lean towards Newegg. I've spent a lot of money with them and since I live near a distribution center they upgrade my shipping and overnight me everything I buy for free it's really the only source of happiness in my life

Good point, but the first 2 times I ordered it from the microsoft store and it came broken. I even think that the second time they sent me the same one they gave me the first time because it had all the same issues.

this is why you check the serial number before you RMA, so you know if you get the same one back

still, if it had those issues in the first place you should have just asked for a refund and bought something better quality

Yeah luckily they refunded me both times in about two days, the thing is I like the msi more because of its design and the keyboard is nice the asus just has too much red (especially the keyboard lighting) and it looks a bit too plain, but its $100 cheaper  that's why I don't know which one I should buy. About the retailer, I've dealt with amazon before, but not with newegg. I'm  considering newegg because if I order the msi they throw in some stuff, like a bag and a mouse pad.

I went to order from newegg and the only shipping that is available is $65.99 and in amazon there's free shipping, unfortunately I wont get the bag and stuff because I'm gonna order from amazon.
