    Come on man.

    You need to tell us your budget it and what you want to use it for. There are all kinds of MSI models and series of all shapes and sizes. Some are great some are meh...

    What screen size? What thickness? What budget? What do you need it for?

    My budget is 5000-6000$

    Gaming is the primary reason

    17 Inch is preferable .

    USD?

    So are you looking at the MSI GT83VR? That's the 18" SLI capable laptop.

    Otherwise at 17" you should be looking at the Clevo P870DM3. If you really wanna stay MSI the MSI GT73VR with 1070 sli, but the 1080 sli and 1440p 120Hz GSync display in the Clevo P870DM3 along with a desktop cpu make it the most powerful desktop replacement in existence.

    Yes, USD.

    I'm not consistent about MSI, but where I live (Dubai) , I don't think Clevo's present .

    With that budget that you have, plus if you are looking for the latest and greatest, you won't go wrong with GT83VR Titan SLI-024, or GT73VR Titan Pro 4K-200. If not MSI, then Clevo P870DM3 is another great choice.

    Order from HIDEvolution and get the global warranty.

    @Phoenix is from Dubai with a P870DM3 from them.

    MSI doesn't have presence in Dubai, any repair through global warranty may have to go through UAE (3rd party).

    I live in Dubai since 27 years

    I ordered 3 laptops so far from HIDevolution. See how their global warranty works for people like us, it's faster than a local warranty in Dubai here let me tell you this!

    HIDevolution's Warranty!
    HIDevolution - The Best Company I ever dealt with

    Email [email protected] and tell him the configuration you want and your NBR Member's username to get your NBR discount.

    Not everyone wants to temper with their PC to perform repair on their own when something goes wrong. 1st line of support is always vendor support which is important, and depends on the types of issues encountered a manufacturer warranty is also equally important.
