Cheap Laptop with 1060 3gb or Premium Laptop with 970M

[Blaze0303]

In a dilemma and I need your help. I don't laptop game much anymore, but I do photo and video edit a lot so i7 is a must. I think an older laptop with a 970M is my best choice, am I crazy? Example of choices are (but not limited to)

 

 

Crappish chassis and screen, no SSD, lower RAM but 1060 3gb Graphics

 

MSI GP62MVR Leopard Pro 15.6 Intel Core i7 6th Gen 6700HQ NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 8 GB Memory 1 TB HDD

or something like this 

 

 

Premium chassis, light weight, and nvme boot drive but 970M

 

MSI GS40 PHANTOM 14.0" Intel Core i7 6th Gen 6700HQ NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M 16 GB Memory 128 GB SSD 1 TB HDD

I looked a them, but once you configure it with an i7 and 1050ti it jumps to 1k. I ended up getting a killer deal though.

 

MSI GS60 Ghost Pro i7 6700HQ, GTX 970M for $850 on monoprice. Brand new, not refurb. 

 

Edit: I also scored a PM961 512GB NVMe drive (OEM 960 Evo) on Ebay.
