HP Omen or MSI GS60???

[lookers]

Super dilemma, I can't decide which one to get =/

Let's say I can get both for the same price... Which one would be a better buy?

Option 1:

HP Omen (Local set)

Intel Core i7-4710HQ 2.5 GHz
• 8 GB DDR3L RAM (Fused to MOBO meaning non-upgradeable)
• 128 GB Solid-State Drive
• 15.6-Inch Screen; NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M (2GB GDDR5 dedicated Vram)
• 2 Local Years warranty


Option 2:

MSI GS60 GHOST (Overseas set)

Intel Core i7-4710HQ 2.5 GHz
• 12 GB DDR3L RAM
• 256 GB Solid-State Drive
• 15.6-Inch Screen; NVIDIA Geforce GTX850M Graphics with 2GB DDR3 VRAM
• Only 1 year international warranty

On one side, the Omen seems like a safer choice, but the extra storage and RAM makes MSI a better one.

If you want a swell looking notebook, go for the Omen.

If you definitely need more storage space for the same price, go with MSI.

Eh not sure of HP quality. Haven't tried MSI before though.

From my understanding of gs60,upgrading can be done but accessibility is not straightforward due to inverted board layout. You either is an expert risking warranty or get local service center to do it for you.

Not so sure about HP

For gaming laptop choose 900-series graphic chip due to better cooling

Similar dilemma but in the end I chose MSI lolx... Visual aspects not as bright and sharp as what I hoped it would be .. and battery life ain't that great~ Probably a common problem lolx...

These are the only cons I faced~
