    Kind of torn between a few now, All are similar priced:
    Any input on helping me choose would be appreciated please

    Asus ROG G752VM
    MSI GE72VR
    Gigabyte P57W V6

    The Gigabyte is my least favourite because once specs and price chosen, the look of the thing has to count for something right? :)

    If it need that bga form factor I recommend the gs73 honestly. Otherwise get the GE72. The gigabyte runs hot and the MSI GE72 doesn't. Look at video reviews on YouTube and gameplay videos with overlays. The GS73 will run warm like the gigabyte but has the added benefit of 120hz, is light and thinner.

    Yeah but I realised I would have been an idiot if I did, I only wanted the laptop to play on downstairs, I'd of always had my beast desktop upstairs that I used primarily.. instead of paying £1500 for a laptop to play every blue moon downstairs, I spent £1500 on upgrading my PC and I can just stream with better performance to my crappy laptop or Steam Link on TV downstairs whenever I want too. It made sense for me
