    Hello everyone, i'm currently in the market for a gaming style laptop, I do light gaming, photo editing and video editing.
    i'm looking at getting one of two MSI laptops, from what i can tell they are both the same specification but they are different in price.

    one is £1400 and the other is £1160

    I have linked both laptops below, would anyone be able to tell me what the difference is between the two laptops? and which one would you choose and why? thank you everyone.

    The Raider is thinner, lighter, and primarily made of metal. The Leopard is thicker, heavier, and largely made of plastic.

    Also the Raider has a fancier keyboard.

    Other than their appearance, the performance is about the same so hopefully this is helpful for you to decide which route you wish to take. :)
