Deciding between these two laptops, I get that Intel and for that matter NVIDIA is probably considered better in the grand scheme of things... HOWEVER!!! I am also looking at performance per $$... is there a good way to look at performance specs for each, and line them up accordingly... secondly, can anyone tell me from first hand what the MSI performs like, and if it's worth my time.
I am fully aware that Intel and the ASUS would probably be a better laptop at the end of the day... but is it $500.00 worth more than it? Thanks
apparently I can't post links or pictures... which would really help you guys evaluate so I'll post specs instead
