- Rated 4 out of 5 stars
if you game that hard get a PC.. poor screen qual.
so I purchased this laptop after 2 months of research and comparison of things like 50 series graphics and ram and hard drives and ryzen vs intel etc. my main thing in the end was finding the perfect screen and resolution. nobody makes an oled 18" 4k laptop and when it comes to professional photography tbh pc just will never ever compete with Mac . so I went with the Mac book pro 16"as the Retina display is as good as oled and the ram and rom are used in conjunction to make the perfect viewing and editing software . for gaming? I mean I had a 2400 monitor on this lap top and it looked like 1080 with the low screen quality of almost all laptops that aren't oled or Mac... spending 4500-7000 on a laptop that still breaks down is just crazy but if you don't or won't use Mac then this IS THE BEST OF TWO LAPTOPS with the MSI Titan being king with 4 solid state drive slots and the first being gen 5. and triple digit ram (230? max) this is the next best with half of those. there is a reason they keep being sold out
