Hi folks. I'm in the market for a new gaming laptop and I've narrowed it down to two choices. The first is the new Aorus x5 with SLI 965m and 16 gb RAM. The other is the MSI Ghost Pro with the 6 gb 970m.
What's stopping me from pulling the trigger on the Aorus is cooling concerns. I've had PCs fail because of overheating before, back when I really had no concept of cooling. Will this laptop still be alive and kicking in, say, five years? Or will I be replacing a burnt out machine two years in?
If the latter is the case, I'd rather go with the Ghost and just turn settings down a notch as time goes on. 1080p gaming for the long run is the goal.

) so I wasn't planning on adding a cooling pad. It will, however, always be on a hard, flat surface.
