Hey everyone.
I'm looking for a cheap Laptop, capable of playing some games decently.
My budget is around 600€ and I'm looking to buy used.
So I went on ebay and found a offer for a MSI GS60 Ghost Pro with a gtx870m and the regular FHD screen für 480€ without storage drives (which isn't really a problem as I have some laying around).
My question is if any of you have any experience with it.
I read about fan noise and heat problems at Idle, which would be annoying. The ~3 hours of battery shouldn't be a big problem for me and the performance is sufficient aswell.
What I'm also worried about is the build quality, as I'm used to using a macbook from time to time.
Hope anyone can help. Thanks in advance

Build quality superior to the garbage that apple calls a laptop.
Fan is loud as shit, it can also run pretty hot even in idle.
Realistic battery life is closer to 2 hours.

steer clear of the cheaper Acer and Dell gaming laptops. beware that no matter how nice you go you will run into thermal throttling that might be a concern if you legit think you can high end game on a laptop for hours and hours

Do you have one yourself?
Would you say it'd be to uncomfortably loud and hot for light use like streaming Movies/Series, productivity work or browsing in bed or while it's sitting on my lap?
Thinking I should probably just get a second Notebook for that. Like a cheap Thinkpad.

I'm well aware of what the Laptop would be capable of and at the moment I just plan on playing Overwatch while I'm away from home, as I have a nice rig there, and use it while I'm in bed or don't feel like sitting on my desk.
Do you have any recommendations of what I could realistically get around the 600€ mark? would be willing to pay a bit more to get a premium product.

It's not the most comfy device.
I do not have one anymore, I gifted it to someone who needed it more.
I got a thinkpad as a substitute and while the performance is way worse, it cost a fraction of it and I get to watch chink cartoons in bed and all.
Unless you are rly hype about it, I'd steer clear.

i paid a little more than 650 usd for a refurbished Asus g771 with 960m. I wanted a 17 inch screen and the ability to play games if i wanted to. It can play real games like CS:GO but it does run hot, processor in the mid 80's
