Hey everyone, my friend is on the hunt for a new gaming laptop. He’s currently using an 8th gen i7 with a GTX 1060ti from MSI, but he’s looking to upgrade. Just to clarify, he won’t be doing any streaming or video editing—it’s mainly for school work and gaming, so aesthetics like battery life aren’t a concern. Here’s what he’s looking for in a new laptop:
1. At least 1440p resolution
2. Over 165Hz refresh rate (an IPS panel is totally fine)
3. Size should be between 14 to 17 inches
4. Maximum specs he can get for his price range.
Initially, he had a budget of up to $2000, but that’s now dropped to $1600, so any suggestions would be super helpful!

I found a good option for you guys! Check out the MSI Vector 16 HX on B&H Photo. It meets all the specs your friend is looking for. Just make sure to keep an eye on pricing, ’cause sometimes it changes fast!
That’s a neat find! But I just checked here in Southeast Asia, and the price jumped to around $2200. Any other models we could look at that fit under $1600?
