    I haven't any experience with these notebooks. However, the prices are hard to beat for the included hardware.

    Asus FX502VM-AH51 - Core i5-6300HQ, 16GB RAM, 1TB HDD - $919

    MSI GP62MVR Leopard Pro-048 - Core i7-6700HQ, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD - $999, but $899 after $100 mail-in rebate.

    FX502 - awful TN panel.

    GP62 - barbecue

    There's always a catch with cheap laptops ;)
