    Both builds I made came up to about 1100-1200 usd but if you factor in that coupon that is floating around I have you can get the HP Dv6T at like 800 usd after entering it?

    In terms of gaming? The MSI is far better.

    But it's also bigger and has worse battery life. So it really depends on what you're looking for.

    It can still run games on high though right? I mean its gaming capabilities are still good right?

    The 6770m can probably handle high at 768p and medium/low at 1080p. This depends on the game, though of course.

    Some less intensive games will run perfectly maxed at 1080p while more intensive ones such as BF3 may struggle even on low.

    What games are you looking to play?
