Gaming Laptops

[Lori]

Hey guys, I came across this forum and it seemed to look quite informative~ 
I'm not very good with detailed knowledge on specs (quite the noob, I just like playing games), I just have a basic idea so looking for some recommendations from those who have a better brain than me (:
I've been using my brothers MSI GE72 Apache which I love so I've been sticking to MSI, but open to other brands. 

I'll be gaming pretty much whenever I'm not at uni/work, and would like a laptop capable of the games For Honour, Black Desert Online, Revelation Online and more on high.
Battery life doesn't concern me, would like a laptop that doesn't get super hot, looks/feels pretty and is not super huge. My price is a max of $2600 AUD (~2000USD), could be more if persuaded!

I had my eyes on the MSI GS63 Stealth Pro, but it has mixed reviews - both good and bad so I'm confused and ended up reading 100s of reviews and comparisons on other laptops. Looking for advice and recommendations on what you would or wouldn't choose, thanks (:

Your brother's laptop is a beast and you like it, why not get another?

That I could do~
But I would like to get something better (to also tease him) but if all else fails then I guess I could get the same.

do you have a reason you want to stay with a laptop? are you not confident enough to build a desktop?

I do prefer desktop but I want the mobility of the laptop to move to others rooms. Also as I have uni, I'll need it for some assignments, love doing those sitting on my ass in bed and it saves me from having to get monitors, keyboards etc.

There may be a few Clevo units that are cheaper where you live.

I don't know much about Clevo, but I've heard about it here and there 
I'll look more into it

I do also have a desktop (my brother's I just steal it most of the time) but it's graphics card exploded after my sister was rendering on it for some reason lol so I need to fix that but would prefer my own. However, I find a laptop more of a priority atm move houses a lot these days, uni, mobility, Aussie heat - my lounge has the only aircon but I can't throw my desktop in there.
