So, im currently in the market for a Gaming laptop and id like some input from the community. Im looking at 15 inch laptops with GTX 1060's and i've narrowed it down to the 3 below. I have Amazon Prime so im definitely looking to order from amazon.

My main want is thunderbolt 3 (for external GPU use.... Just in case, thinking about the future)

I would definitely love to have a G-Sync monitor, but not a big MUST.

So based on the 3 below, could you guys elaborate as to which one you guys would prefer and why.

(Obviously im looking to stay in $1,400 range(



ROG Strix GL502VM https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01KB0WJ1G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6hU-xbYXFBJRQ

Clevo Prostar P650RP6 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LA24C5U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_tjU-xbE0E3X7Y


MSI VR Ready GE62VR Apache Pro-026 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IS33QWY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_BkU-xbP9TMS75

Personally I would go with the MSI GE62VR Apache Pro-026, all of these laptops are very close in specifications. The ROG Strix has an extra 4 gigabytes of RAM but lacks the SSD that the MSI has. The Clevo has an option to upgrade to a 256 GB SSD as well for the same price as the others, but only has 8 GB of RAM. The Clevo does not have GSYNC support so really I would rule it out since it will not offer any advantages over any of the other two laptops other than being cheaper by sacrificing the SSD the others. Really the choice is up to you as to which you want to pick, it's your money, you make the final decision, but I think you can safely rule out the Clevo, unless you dont want the SSD and can save the $100 for something like...

Thanks for your input. I was definitely looking more towards the Asus and MSI, and a little more towards the MSI between the two because i hear alot about MSI's build quality.

Does anyone know about the teo companys customer service? I contacted Asus before and i was answered by what seemed to be a guy in india, so i was kinda discouraged.
