Omega Force Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Hello.I'm thinking about buying a MSI laptop.I'm hesitating between these two:MSI GT80 2QD 046FR Titan SLI - 18.4" - Core i7 4720HQ - Windows 8.1 - 8 Go RAM - 128 Go SSD + 1 To HDD - en occasion ou neuf - Achat vente Informatique : avec la FnacMSI GT80 2QE 045FR TITAN SLI - 18.4" - Core i7 4720HQ - Windows 8.1 - 16 Go RAM - 128 Go SSD + 1 To HDD - en occasion ou neuf - Achat vente Informatique : avec la FnacThey are both GT80. They both have a screen of 18.4", a core i7 4720HQ and 128 Go SSD + 1 To HDD.As far as I can tell, the only differences are:- The first one has a RAM of 8 Go, a graphics card of "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970M - 6 Go GDDR5 SDRAM", and a price of €2286 = $2560 (it's cheaper by €588 = $659)- The second one has a RAM of 16 Go, a graphics card of "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M - 8 Go GDDR5 SDRAM", and a price of €2874 = $3219 (it's more expansive by €588 = $659)And so my question is: Which one should I buy? The first one or the second one?If you need to know some context and what I'm going to use this PC for:I'm going to use this PC many many hours per day, maybe up to 14 hours per day when I'm on vacation.I won't play any video games on it. But I will play a lot of chess (and some backgammon), and use powerful chess softwares for analyzing games.I also often make some programs on MatLab and SharpDevelop.Also an important note: I always have a few hundred tabs (sometimes even a thousand) constantly opened at the same time on Firefox (which makes it freeze and crash a lot). And many of those tabs are Youtube videos.Thanks in advance for your answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cost for ram is probably 100-120 us dollars for 16gb of DDR3 1600mhz SODIMM. You can upgrade down the road and the either option has more than enough power.
