Choosing a gaming laptop

Benjamin1211212

Hello, I was looking at a few of the gaming laptops, and I was wondering if any body had any info on the capabilities for gaming, longevity, if one is more worth the price than the others, or if there is one that I don't have here that would be better than these.
 The ones I am looking at are:
 MAINGEAR Element 3 17.3" Gaming Laptop Computer - Black -Listed at $1799.99
 ASUS ROG Strix G17 G712LW-XS78 17.3" Gaming Laptop Computer - Black - Listed at $1699.99
 Acer Predator Helios 300 PH317-54-75JG 17.3" Gaming Laptop Computer - Black - Listed at $1499.99

The one I had previously was an MSI GS73 Stealth and I liked it for it's capabilities but it had some serious issues (hence getting a new laptop). 
Any advice, preferences, or cautionary tales would be great!
 Thanks so much in advance

Hello @Benjamin1211212 and welcome to the community!

These are all great options! The main difference here is the GPU that you get with each laptop. Ascending in price gives you a better performing GPU. So, it really depends on what you're looking to do performance-wise.

Personally, I have a brand preference for ASUS, but all three are great brands. I don't know of any issues cautionary tales with these laptops.
