    Hey to you all!
    Just wondering which one would you choose if they had the same price and why? Choices are:
    1.
    MSI 15,6" GT62VR 7RE Dominator Pro
    Intel Core i7-7700HQ 2.8GHz, 16GB DDR4, 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD, FullHD, GeForce GTX 1070 8GB, Win 10 Home 64-bit

    or

    2.
    MSI 15,6" GT62VR 6RE Dominator Pro 4K
    Intel Core i7-6820HK 2.6GHz, 32GB DDR4, 512GB SSD + 1TB HDD, UHD, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 8GB, Win 10 Home 64-bit.

    And what do you think would they both be as quiet/noisy or would other one have advantage in system noise?

    Thank you all who answers!

    What do you intend on using the system for?

    And how exactly would the second system be the same price as the first one?
    Double the RAM, unlocked CPU, bigger SSD....everyone would choose the second system.
    although for gaming, that 1070 would choke hard on the 4k screen, big time. Yes you can run the 4k screen at 1080p but you would suffer some nice interpolating image loss, since laptop screens don't have hardware scalers, but still. The 6820HK would reach 4 ghz on all cores, but would require some volts and a re-paste to keep the temps down, while the 7700HQ would only do 3.4 ghz and would require an undervolt to avoid TDP throttling.

    Thanks for the answer! I forgot to tell that I havent done any other mods/maintenances to laptops than change hardrives and some dust cleaning. (Currently have
    Schenker XMG A523 (Clevo W350ST) .
    So havent done any pasting. I would be playing at 1080p and 60fps would be enough for me.

    EDIT: OFC more than 1080p and 60fps would be a bonus! But temps and system noise matters alot for me.
