Is this a good gaming/work laptop?

Curious as to how this would do (mainly for work) and games. What FPS would I be getting in a game like WoW? And, would it run all my work software smoothly, with good internet connection? (I know the connection is based off the WiFi etc, but I've had laptops that have constant connection problems...)


Overall rating of this laptop? Suggestions? Thanks!

And yes I want the touchscreen part lol.

It's a decent laptop. Good display, although the touch screen is pointless. If your main use will be work, a 1080p IPS display is the best thing you can chose. For gaming the GPU is only mediocre, so if that is a primary concern you might want to look for a "real" gaming laptop.

Just one thing i find a bit odd is the specified weight at 3 pounds. Laptops of that size/type are usually more around 2 pounds.


If you look for performance:

In terms of gaming performance, they blow the Asus out of the water, but they are quite a bit bulkier and most likely worse in terms of battery life. The first one has obviously the better price/performance, but only 1 year warranty. As you can see, they have both the same chassis, so it's safe to assume, that both are manufactured by MSI and CyberpowerPC is only slapping their logo onto it.
