Not MSI Gaming laptops. Gigabyte has mediocre and uneven build quality, but MSI gaming laptops are and have been junk for a decade now. It's baffling because the rest of their laptops are great, but the gaming line can't make a non junk laptop it seems. Like the 3+k MSI Titan 18" laptops have worse build quality than a Lenovo LOQ or HP Victus. It's insane.

Coming back to this thread. This is the better buy now (obviously didn't exist when Dr.W posted the Alienware.

Their software is not great and is buggy. They also will abandon firmware updates or firmware update and "lock" you into undesirable settings, unable to revert back. I think they make the best gaming laptops, and I've had several, but my trust in them is waning. I've had a number of AW machines over the years.
My recent experience: I have the M18R1 AMD and it thermal throttles like crazy because of a AMD firmware decision that chokes the CPU because it thinks the chassis is hot (even when it isn't). Dell firmware'd out the fix and won't let you revert if you upgraded. I don't know if I can buy another. At the very least, stick with Intel so you have more control over voltage and stuff.
