Packing in a quad core i7 processor, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, a 1TB hard drive paired with a 256GB SSD, and a GTX 1060 GPU, these MSI gaming laptops should be able to handle everything you throw at them, and MassDrop has them for about $150-$200 less than you’ll find elsewhere.
Internally, the 15" and 17" models seem to be identical, so you’re really just paying an extra $30 for the larger (though not more spacious - they’re both 1080p) screen.
