erm laptop help lang po...

which do you think would be the best buy? i could get the MSI here kaya lang may option ako na magpabili sa pinsan ko sa Canada. mahal talaga ang laptop dito sa pinas, lalu na pag branded. ipapalit ko lang sa aking ageing desktop PC. I'll be doing simple graphics editing, gaming (ps2++ graphics would be fine for me) and coding (matlab, easy68k).
