i need Help buying a laptop (1000$-1200$CAD)

Scottwatmough · Jun 14, 2018

Looking to buy a laptop within the next few days for light gaming/ browsing/ ect.
Newegg Is having a few decent ones on sale. Unsure what would be best for me.
3 laptops i have in mind (Open to other suggestions)

ASUS FX503VD 15.6" https

1400$ on for 1199$

MSI GP62MX Leopard-2223 https

/www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834154748
1449$ on for 1199$

MSI GL Series GL63 8RC-069 https

/www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16834154822
1199$ on for 1149$

From a non-advanced perspective i'm very unsure which is the best.
I would love some advice!

All laptops have the same warranty, so my vote goes to the first ASUS laptop. It does have 16GB of RAM which the third laptop lacks and an SSD which the second laptop lacks. Know however, that for gaming you could also get this: https

I'd probably do the Asus, just because it has the SSD and the HDD. I wouldn't buy a laptop without an SSD, these days. Kind of the only major difference between those two i7 units, besides aesthetics

The Asus should be fine, I originally though the leopard had an extra 20% off with the promo code, then i realized I was blind and it was only $20, but it does come with a $100 rebate card, meaning its only $1080 after rebate and $20 off. It does need an SSD upgrade though, making it kind of a wash. If you feel like saving a small amount of cash, go with the MSI, otherwise, go with the Asus.

I totally agree but just for the record, the promo code offers $20 off, not 20% off.

Thanks for input so far guys

I also burn't through an msi laptop a few years ago. MSI GE40 2PC i believe its called. I have 16gb of ram in there but unsure if its ddr3 or 4. Also a 512gb ssd but unsure if it would work with any of the laptops i've linked as i have never opened a laptop personally.

In that case, I think that it is either of the ASUS laptops that you must choose. You can "transplant" that SSD to the new laptop btw, so my opinion is go with the ASUS ROG laptop.
