MSI GX70 Laptop

[Cartman121]

Can anyone tell me what the difference between these two laptops is, the one is a MSI-GX70-3BE069 and the other is a MSI-GX70-3BE029. But looking at the specs I cant tell what the difference is ? There is a R2 800 difference between the two but cant work out why ?

The MSI-GX70-3BE069 has faster ram and a Blu-Ray writer.

I think Rebeltech just needs to update the description.

Okay sweet, so value for money wise would you say the MSI GX70 3BE029 is the best ?

It really depends, Honestly those AMD APU laptops are not great...The new ones which are still a few months away are a whole lot better. If you are personally looking for a gaming laptop I would suggest 1 of the following..Depending on your budget.

Do you need the portability of a laptop? If not, your money would be better spent on getting a full gaming pc.

The APU is great for extending battery life. Most graphics are handled by it and the GPU will kick in when you're doing more demanding stuff.

So that, coupled with the 9 cell battery will get you quite a bit of battery life.

I have the gx60 and can get in 4 hours of mixed browsing and playing games like hearthstone. 6 to 7 hours for office work with wifi off.

But as far as laptops go it's a pretty solid jack of all. There are better gaming laptops out there for the price, as joker pointed out.
