Posted July 28, 2016 Looking for a new laptop for Work & Gaming, more towards the Slim side. Narrowed down to the MSI GS60 Ghost Pro 4k-238 ( matte Display) and the Gigabyte P35x V5. What do you guys recommend, and why would you choose one over the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted July 28, 2016 I would pick the MSI because the build quality is better. BOINC Setup: i5 7200U @ Stock Core2Duo T6600 @ Stock i3 2330M @ Stock i5 3210M @ Stock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same at first but then saw the P35x V5, for almost the same price, it has 980M and more Option for internal storage. So question is would you choose spec over build quality or do you think they are not that different? Just wanted to add that I do keep my computers for a few years, My current laptop I bought end of 09, upgraded the ram and switched to a SSD about year and a half ago. So which ever one i get i'll prob keep for a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means at least two weeks until you can buy one, usually. If you travel a lot in the future you'll appreciate the durability. Have you looked how well each of them cool their hardware?

Cooling wise they both seems like they are very similar, although I've read some where that the Gigabyte is a bit louder then the MSI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted July 29, 2016 I went with the GS60 because of the weight and the TB3 port, planning to get an eGPU soon. Spoiler I'm a ninja..don't tell anyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
