I had an entry level gaming Eurocom laptop for 1.5 years, and was pretty disappointed with it (decent specs, but uncomfortable and awkward). It had 8GB RAM, GTX 765M 2GB, Core i7-4700MQ. Now I've been looking for a laptop slightly better, around $850-1100 range.
I'm not much of a gamer, but I do play occasionally, so I appreciate a decent GPU. I'm also a software developer, so a good, non-clunky touch pad with easy and tolerable right/left click keys is necessary.
A high battery capacity is a plus, as is a fast CPU. As for disk space, anything is good provided it's atleast 750GB with 7200rpm. Everything else similar/equal, I'd prefer lighter weight.
These are the ones I'm stuck with at the moment, and they feel almost exactly the same price, GPU, CPU, disk, RAM, weight, etc-wise. I was wondering if anyone had any input as to which one would be more preferable. Also if you owned or have experience with these, comfort+touch pad and other opinions would be appreciated. If you recommend a similar laptop not one of these, that would be great as well.

Out of all of them this one is the most powerful in terms of specs: http://www.xoticpc.com/msi-ge62-apache002-p-7855.html. Msi are good with their laptops but they tend to be more louder than their competition. The asus generally is well known for having very good cooling but has the weakest gpu.

My advice is to see how much gaming and gpu power you need and buy accordingly as all these laptops are very good for you needs and should perform very simiarly to each other. I can only really speak for the asus as I have got their n series laptop which is their multimedia range rather than gaming but is very good apar from the battery life.
