Hello, finally new series laptops are announced and im looking for advice.
Right now im deciding between
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IEV85OU#productDetails
ASUS ROG G750JS-DS71 17.3-Inch Laptop

Intel Core i7-4700HQ 2.4Ghz (Turbo 3.4 GHz)
16 GB DDR3 RAM
1TB 7200 rpm Hard Drive, 256 GB Solid-State Drive
17.3-Inch Screen
Windows 8.1, 3.5-hour battery life

and the MSI new dominator one
http://www.amazon.com/MSI-GT70-Dominator-892-17-3-Inch-Aluminum/dp/B00IMTQ6RW/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1394739824&sr=1-6&keywords=GT70+Dominator-892

Dominator ones seem be to available already, not sure if they ship to Europe from USA though.
Asus rog is to be sold in America in two weeks or so, according to amazon.

Razor 17' laptop isnt very impressive comparing to ROG or MSI and alienware didnt announce new series yet i think, also its a bit overprices it seems compared to ROG and MSI.

So, the question is - which of those options is best?
I dont intend to carry the laptop much so i dont care about its weight a lot.
I dont intend to use it without energy a lot so dont care about battery life too much either.

Would like to hear opinions from people who owned/had friends who owned both MSI and ROG laptops if possible, thank you.

The asus rog laptop is awesome. I had it for a few weeks and I loved every minuet of it. Just to big, heavy for what I needed it for and gave up a lot of performance and cooling to get a smaller lighter better battery Samsung. But asus is great, top notch, and cooling which is the gaming laptops achillies heel is not even close to a problem with the asus.
