    PA71ES

    Full HD (1920x1080) 3ms 120Hz 94% NTSC vs
    Full HD (1920x1080) 144Hz, 72% NTSC with G-sync

    Which one would you go for and why?

    What are you doing with it? Color space has never really bothered me with just gaming so I'd go for as much refresh as possible. If doing other things like content creation, the 94% display will be helpful. I wouldn't let G-Sync be a deciding factor. While it's nice, high refresh makes it less noticeable.

    Thanks for the reply. I will go with the faster screen. will be doing some color work and gaming and watching movies :D Do you by any chance know the key-travel on the keyboard? I just don't like mushy keyboards with no travel.

    Haven't had a chance to play with that one myself, but it is a membrane keyboard so don't expect much. @LeiEn reviewed the PA71ES-G here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/clevo-evoc-pa71es-g-review.817866/ and said

    120Hz is a more colour accurate and will do plenty well for gaming still.

    MSI GT83, MSI GT75 and ASUS G703 have been my favorites recently.

    The SteelSeries keyboards on the MSIs are indeed pretty solid and easy to type on as far as laptops go.

    You should head over to the MSI forum if you have questions about their models. You will get user feedback too.

    They're fairly consistent with the price/quality of each model, so as you move up to the higher-end machines, the keyboards get better - but they're all basically good to begin with.

    Maybe the Zephyrus, but in the thin and light category I haven't really found myself terribly impressed by keyboards. Most I'd call "adequate".
