Gaming Laptop Inquiry, MSI or Asus?

Firstly, thanks for anyone who reply or participate in my inquiry.

Just one simple question actually, that is if there is a choice for the MSI GE60 2Pl and the ASUS G550JK to choose from for gaming, which one is better, the ASUS is $100 more expensive. Price are both about $1300.

    I'd go the MSI, just browsing the specs it has a bigger battery, mSATA SSD, better networking, and its a bit lighter.
    The mSATA SSD is great, make it much faster. The ASUS seems to only have mechanical HDD options which is a deal breaker right there, of course you could put in your own SSD but thats a hassle and you lose capacity. With the MSI you get dual storage with the speed of the mSATA SSD and the capacity of the standard SATA HDD.. I haven't got any personal experience with either so you should probably try check out some reviews as well. I do like the look of the ASUS better though, and its thinner.

    I'd go with the MSI based on specs, but get what you think suits you better. You won't notice an extra 10% fps, but you'll notice an ugly laptop every time you use it.

    They are both very similar laptops. GE60 has a faster HDD and a slightly better battery. MSI can have pretty inconsistent drivers, but Asus tends to stop supporting their products (sometimes) not too long after launch. Choice is yours, I would just save the $100 - you're not gaining anything to justify the price difference.
