I am looking at a couple laptops for light gaming and graphic design. At this point, it looks like a contest between these 3:

I am leaning toward the i7-7700hq and 1050 ti in the MSI and Acer because the cpu is more up to date. But the i7-6700hq and 1060 in the Asus has a better graphics card with a slightly slower cpu.

The question is, what is really better? My top budget is $1200 but lower is better.

Thanks
