    Weight and battery life aside, if you're willing to spend that much on a laptop you'll likely not be disappointed. That's the class of laptop we'll probably be buying next also.

      I'd look at the msi gs60 stealth seriez. Very lightweight, but sturdy, powerful systems. I couldn't believe how nice it felt.

        I want a laptop for gaming so I can use it in the living room for browsing and when gaming on the tv stand to connect to tv via HDMI

        I know desktop is more powerful and etc etc but I dont want a desktop

        So my choices are as follows and I need the help of the OS fam to help decide what is the best choice between 2 laptops that I decided on

        What are the pros and cons of each and will they allow me to get minimum 60fps and full 1080p in all games and since I have a 4k 65 inch tv would this help achieve that


        ASUS ROG G751JY-DH71 17.3-inch Gaming Laptop, GeForce GTX 980M Graphics


        MSI Computer GT72 DOMINATOR GT72 DOMINATOR PRO-211 17.3-Inch Laptop


        Thanx
        I've had my gaming laptop for awhile and it has been great. ASUS G74x

        I'm close to getting a new one and will demote mine to a streaming laptop. .

        I'm positive I'll never build a desktop again.

          Would you go for the New Asus I just posted?

          So far I hear that both delivery great ultra settings on all new games at 60fps or higher which is awesome for a gaming laptop. The 980m card is the big star here but I hear that on the MSI the GPU can be changed in the future and not on the ASUS.

          Both are priced about the same and I just want to make the best choice on which will give me at least 4-5 years of high end settings on all games.

            So my mouse died today, which means its time to buy a new one. I need a wireless mouse or a wired mouse with a pretty long coord since I sit about 4-5 ft from my TV. I'd prefer a Logitech if going with the wireless option since I already have a Logitech dongle in my computer (for HDTV keyboard). Any suggestions?

              If you’re looking for a convenient, comfortable, and long-lasting wireless mouse, the Logitech M720 Triathlon Multi-Device is the best choice, assuming you’re right-handed.

                  I'm travelling for work a few times plus I travel with the family for the summer so I got me a Surface Pro 3.


                  I got the i5 with 8gb of ram. It isn't a gaming laptop or anything like that but I'm going to try some Steam games on it and see how it goes.

                    My coworker has a Surface Pro 3 and it's awesome. Like you said, not sure how it'd be as a gaming machine, but I'd love one as a tablet/laptop.

                    Plus if you have Xbox One in the future you could try streaming the games onto it through Windows 10....

                      I've used wireless since I got my laptop with 0 issues. The only online gaming I've done is really with Battlefield but had no issues at all.

                        I'd side with ASUS but I'm biased. Love ASUS and that one seems really nice.

                            I don't use the mouse though as I use a wireless Logitech trackball mouse

                              The best wireless keyboards are comfortable, reliable, and a joy to type on, whether you want a compact option like the Logitech Pop Icon Keys or something full-size.

                                I think Bruins may be on thewirecutter.com's payroll

                                For my HDTV, I use the Logitech K400 (https://www.logitech.com/en-us/produ...keyboard-k400r). It cost like $20.
