Hi All,

I'm in the market for a new gaming PC (has to be a laptop). I would like to keep the cost around 2K. I was curious to what the community thought was the better option, MSI or the Asus. I currently have an Asus G74SX and it's served me well over the years, so I'm partial to the brand.

However, the new ASUS G75JZ-DS71 comes with a 4MB graphics card (and is more expensive) while the MSI is 8MB. I looked at some 3Dmark benchmarks and it looks like the ASUS was out-preforming the MSI, but i don't see how.

I'm also open to any other suggestions for a PC (sager, etc). It would be nice if someone could recommend some upgradeable options as well. I dont think you can upgrade the video cards of the MSI or Asus.

Here's a link a I was looking at that gave me some of the specs in comparison.

Unless you were wanting to swap out the HDD for another SSD there's nothing left to upgrade.
Enjoy your new laptop, whichever one one pick.

i meant upgrades for scaling, i.e replace GPU after the current one gets old

Ahh, now I understand (sorry only got 1 hr of sleep last night so I'm not at my best)
For me that spells a Clevo based unit and I like my Sagers for that.
