Hey everyone, I need a laptop that has a very good processing power as well as an SSD of 256GB and minimum of 8 gigs of RAM that won't be too heavy. I won't be gaming that much on it and it will be mostly for the bed but I do want to have decent cooling and GPU.

In the cheapest website that I order based on my location, they usually throw extra discounts on laptops and those discounts further helped me into isolating my options more.
But I don't know which to actually pick! These are my options based on the current discount percentage:

https://www.computeruniverse.net/en/products/90617441/msi-gt72-6qd81fd.asp Very good discount, my gf has it but it's too heavy for the bed and too big! Also no ssd! Price currently €1300

https://www.computeruniverse.net/en/products/90617429/msi-ge62-6qf81fd.asp Has a 970m GPU but no SSD and the price looks very good for what it has to offer. Price currently €1200

https://www.computeruniverse.net/en/products/90639381/msi-gs60-6qc8h21-gaming.asp This has all that I need with a good discount and I'm mostly leaning towards it, but being so slim I am concerned about heating issues and I read somewhere that they should be avoided. Can someone prove this statement wrong? Price currently €1300

https://www.computeruniverse.net/en/products/90638463/msi-ge62-6qe16h21.asp This one has a lot more than I need and I would have gotten this one, but the price is pretty heavy even with a discount. Price currently €1437

https://www.computeruniverse.net/en/products/90613749/msi-pe70-2qei78h11.asp And the final is this one with a more premium instead of gaming look with the most discount therefore most affordability. It has only 128gb SSD but its pretty cheap for its specs! Price currently €1100

So based on these options, which do you think is the most fitting one for me? :)
Thank you very much!

 
Why not go for a better laptop with a gtx 1060, such as https://www.computeruniverse.net/en/products/90674688/msi-gp62mvr-6rf161.asp?
A gtx 960m/965m is a bit of a disappointment for gaming, a gtx 970m isn't bad but will not enable max settings. A gtx 1060 will enable max settings comfortably at 1080p, will last longer on battery and will run cooler then previous GPU's. It will also cost about the same as your most expensive choice, though it doesn't have an SSD.

Hi, I already have a $3000 desktop pc with a 1440p G-sync 144hz monitor etc... That is why I'm not interested in a good GPU, but I definitely need a good CPU, RAM and SSD because I just want it to be fast for university and any task that i can do while lying in bed :) Your suggestion is honestly a very good one and thanks for taking the time, but I also need a more advanced exterior with RGB lighting such as GS, GE or GT :)
 
I also have a good desktop, and several laptops. Currently I have a GT72 with the 980m, as previous laptops I bought did not have a very good GPU. I didn't think it would bother me much as I have a good gaming desktop, but it was actually disappointing, as you are not able to run programs as you would on your desktop.
In any case, of the choices you posted, I would consider the ones with the 970m. I personally prefer 17 inch laptops, as smaller screen sizes now seem just too small.
You can also consider other gaming laptop brands, such as Asus with their ROG/Strix lineup, Alienware or even the new HP Omens. I'm currently going to replace the GT72 soon, and it's probably going to be the new Asus strix with gtx 1060. They are thinner and a bit lighter than other gaming laptops, and also have 3 fans so the cooling is better.

If this is the Asus laptop you are referring to, take a look at the review. The third fan isn't optimized well and looks like it does not produce a better cooling.
I understand your point but I don't think I am in the budget for such high end models. But I will consider the 970m as my priority :)
