Thin Gaming laptop: Aorus x7 or MSI GS60?

slayvoff · Jul 20, 2014

For the GS60, the Geforce 860 or 870 are options. People say the 860 runs cooler which is a great plus for such a thin laptop. Dunno if that sacrifices quality though.

if it were me I'd take the aorus.

Why is that? I worry about how a lot of people complain about the "okay" screen quality. With that price tag I would expect something exceptional, and if a game is not SLI optimized would that create issues? I mainly play WoW so idk.

You don't need one of those behemoth gaming laptops to play WOW... Almost all games can take advantage of SLI, there's very little that actually have problems with it.
And quite frankly both laptops use similar if not the same tn panel screens, so there's little to no difference there.

Personally, I'd purchase the GS60 Ghost because of its 800M GPU. SLI GPU's tend to run much hotter and consume more power. The 870M is more powerful than the 765M (http

If you're just playing WoW, you could even opt for the 860M to save money. Let me knw if you have any questions!

Definitely go with the Aorus X7-CF1. MSI is a great budget gaming laptop and they cram a lot of horsepower in for the price but the overall build quality isn't great. The cooling on MSI laptops is usually terrible which causes your fans to run nonstop and your laptop to run hot.

i agree id go for the aorus as the new one has 2 gtx 860m in sli with a total of 8gb gddr5 graphic memory and the screen on the aorus is better for gaming as its a matte finish and it also has those integrated game keys.
