Need opinions on deciding new laptop

[joma90]

So i'm going to buy a new laptop but this is always hard for me to choose. i can always narrow down but still get stuck. out of the 2 below what you choose and why. Opinions help me choose the best one. I would love to have users who have the laptop already and say what their experience is with it as well.

Asus G75VX-BHI7N11
Processor - Intel i7 3630QM
Screen Size - 17.3" LED, 1920x1080
Graphics - GTX 670MX 3GB
RAM - 8GB DDR3 (up to 32GB)
Hard Drive - 1TB 5400RPM (2 hard drive slots)(didn't find any location for a msata)
Keyboard backlight - yes
Price - $1249.99

or

MSI GT70 0NC-494US
Processor - Intel i7 3630QM
Screen Size - 17.3" LED, 1920x1080
Graphics - GTX 670MX 3GB
RAM - 12GB DDR3 (up to 32GB)
Hard Drive - 750GB 7200RPM (1 hard drive slots) (2 Msata slots)
Keyboard backlight - yes
Price - $1399.99

There are other things that i factor as well like the MSI has better audio and has the BFN E2200 and multi-color led keyboard made by steel series, while Asus has much better cooling option, can open bottom case and not void warranty, has better stock warranty, 3D capable out the box. So its a tough call for me. From here i was going to get one of the custom computer place like Xotic for the MSI or HIDevolution for the Asus. Also has anyone had any experience being good or bad with either company? I use the custom computer place to change the interal parts and not void the warranty. I rather have one then not. Please tell me your option on the 2 laptops and the 2 companies if possible.

Personally I love the way the G75 looks I too am currently in the market and I'm looking at that one for my choice. Another good one to look at is the Sager NP170

I currently have an Asus G75VX-BHI7N11, and I really couldn't be happier. This thing stays cool even with a GPU overclock under heavy load. I don't think I've seen it go above 70c. You can also upgrade this platform with 32gb ram (if you're feeling excessive) and a solid state drive (or two, if you ditch the 1tb storage).
