Comparing all 3 against each other and what would I pick.
I'd go for the MSI GV62 8RD-200 as it's got the better video card and video memory.
If you find it's 1 TB hard drive too slow for you when loading games, you can purchase a solid state drive (SSD) later on to help with that.
I feel you get a little more for the money and you can't upgrade a video card on a laptop.

Thank you so much!!! Think I agree!!!! That is my FAVORITE!!! Thanks, why do you think there are not many videos I fit I. Youtube?
I'm thinking because there is a lot of different model in the GV62 line of MSI laptops.
Ah.. And the date it first became available on Amazon was June 1, 2018. So that could be another reason.
- Oh wow, ya
Yep, that one.
- Great!! I will let you know when I order it/when I get it!!!
- The price went up right as I was going to order it!!!!!! Look at this one, is it the the one? If it isn’t, is it still better than that other MSI??

Just want to know if the other one I posted is still better than the one we talked about b fire the one I wanted to get.
- I only need it to run the sims 4 in medium...
That one will do just fine.
- But is it better than the others?
- Please help me!
Sorry but I'm not doing a comparison with the multitude of different PCs mentioned in this thread.
- No, I know, I just want to know if it is superior to this one:
- AB and I spoke of this one before, just want to be sure BRFORE I order it
The last one has a better CPU (I7 vs I5) and It has a 1 TB HDD as well as 128 GB SSD so offers plenty of storage. Since the SSD is not big remember to install most other programs to the HDD and move the Documents folder there as well.
- I don’t understand...
- Which one is better?? Link?
- Sorry I feel soooo bad
- Nice! How much better is this one than that one?

You said that it has a small SSD, what disadvantages does that give? Also, how would I even install programs into the HHD? What if I didn’t?
