Laptop suggestions.

[DrBonesMcCoy]

I am currently looking at two laptops which are £800 or less. One is the MSI GL62MVR and the other is a custom built laptop from PC specialist (Picture of specs below). I am working on a budget and need something that has a GPU capable of playing games at a decent fps. The MSI has a better GPU and an IPS screen, but an older CPU and less storage. I assume it has a decent keyboard as well. The PC specialist one has more storage, a 256gb pci-e ssd and a 240gb ssd with a newer I5 laptop CPU but with only a 1050ti 4Gb model. What would be the better option? Thanks. I am open to suggestions too as I can get discounts on Microsoft surface laptops, HP (including omen) and dell laptops. Thanks.

MSI GL series has even worse build quality, display is worse too. Cooling is OK-mediocre for that model

Then what is a good laptop for about £800? Even if its a 3gb 1060 as long as it has a decent screen/gpu/cpu and an ssd its fine.

If you're living in UK, PCSpecialist Vyper like I said above. You won't get a decent 1060 laptop with that budget

That chassis has a terrible screen though.

At least it's an IPS. For this price range you can't ask for more
