Clarification Request
But what is this laptop for?
Sep 1, 2015 6:12AM PDT

Browsing, school work?
Gaming?

The second is an almost never ending climb to more and more power.
http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-950M.138026.0.html gives us a preview of a middle of the road gamer laptop.

I'd take the 5th gen CPU since I've yet to see anyone change the CPU later and the 1st gen was more than enough to drive many video cards. The SSD is a bit slim in my view but might be changed if need be later.

Good day,

As I check, I would mind to choose MSI GP Series GP60 Leopard.
The specs of this laptop is good. Even it is less expensive that the other one.
If you buy this, I think it will be fine.

Worth-buying.
Have a nice day!

Has SSD 5th generation processor so performance wise it look likes better. It does have a 3 cell battery and MSI has 6 cell but the 5th generation helps you there.
