So Im looking for a new laptop: 

So Im looking at the MSI GE62.
Its got alot of stuff I want like a cool looking keyboard, a good screen, its a good size that isnt to small or big, etc.
Im wondering If i actually should get it. For a gaming laptop its pretty cheap i found it for $1300 CAD new and like $850 CAD Used (theres no warranty on the used so idk about that one) .

Now Ik the battery life isnt exactly to good

SO if there are any suggestions pls just comment xD
Im looking for these main things

- Good build quality

- Good keyboard (RGB isnt a MUST but i really want it =P)

- Well sized screen (I dont want a gigantic bezel like the Razor Blade)

- well powered (a decent graphics card and a I5-I7 CPU idc what generation each one is)

- cant be above $1500 CAD  (cause well I money doesnt grow on trees)

- Decent battery life (thats why im hesitant to buy the GE62)

 

Drop suggestions pls =D Id love to hear about some good laptops

 

P.S. Other laptops im considering

- Dell XPS13/15

- Razer Blade/ Stealth (huge bezel and price)

- LG gram (i dont want to break it cause of the chassis flex)

-MSI GS Notebook line (price is through the roof)

 

 

 

and yes before everyone starts screaming about how useless some of my wants are, Its just personal wants ik there are better options and things I dont need its just that these are personally what I look for in a laptop theres no real reason behind it. Mainly just preference.

yeah xD it does
idk but like which one looks better tho MSI laptops or the XPS

 

imo, the XPS 15 is one of the best looking laptops ever made

especially with that infinity edge display

also keep in mind the RAM and storage is upgradable in the XPS 15

OK like it looks like the XPS is more expensive than the GE62

they both offer almost the same hardware and push out relatively similar benchmarks
