Hi guys which notebook should I get?

 

options are

MSI GE65

DELL XPS15 9570

 

I plan to use it mostly for creative works like photo editing and digital illustration.

 

Which of this notebooks should I get?

Should I go 4k 60hz or 1080p 144hz?

Is it beneficial for creative works to go 4k on a 15" notebook

Would you recommend another product?

 

I am currently using an MSI GE62 6QF APACHE PRO NOTEBOOK with gtx 970m. I am looking for a good replacement for the notebook. The Notebook was ok for gaming but the thermals and build quality were quite bad.

 

Thank you!

Are you just going to be photo editing, or are you going to be gaming on it too, as I see you're looking at gaming laptops.

 

 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

1500 to 2000 USD TOPS with a wiggle room of about a 100 USD I suppose.

Do you have any requirements like display size, max weight etc?

Go for mobile workstations like Thinkpad P51/P50, Precision 7520/5520, HP Zbook 15 G4/G3. Or wait for them to be refreshed.
