Should I buy a MSI GS60 Ghost or is there a better alternate for the money? On amazon it's just under £1150 and that's pretty much the most I am willing/able to spend on a laptop. I need it for gaming and mobility
 


you can get a more powerful machine for that money, but not for the thin form factor.
beware that when gaming on battery performance is significantly lower. around 40% lower.
Furthermore whilst gaming either on battery or plugged this laptop will be ABSOLUTELY BOILING. Temperatures can hit 60oC + and that will just burn you. so for gaming I would recommend getting a decent cooling pad and just leaving it on your desk.

Thanks, can you recommend any laptops with similar/better performance but aren't too heavy to be able to carry around? I won't be gaming on battery, I want it portable to take to university and carry it around

It does look good, even though it's only about £50 more it's out of my budget :/ I'm moving away in 10 days so I would like to get it before I go so the max I could possibly spend is £1150
