I7 gen 8 and 50Hz screen vs i5 gen 9 and 144Hz screen

I’m abort to buy a new laptop and looking at two, bur having a hard time chosing. I will primarly play WoW. 1. a Lenovo with i5 processer gen 9. And a 144hz screen or 2. a MSI with a i7 gen 8 processer and a 50Hz screen. Both with a gtx 1660 ti grafic. What would you choose?

50 Hz? are you sure it’s not 60 Hz ? On average it’s hard to get very high framerate in WoW but it’s easier to get stable fluid framerate even on bit higher resolutions. Also i5 and 1660Ti isn’t a setup to challenge such FPS unless on lowered settings.

Also display type may matter - most fast panels will be TN while a 60Hz usually will be IPS with better colors/quality. Aside of that check laptop cooling performance (noise), keyboard/palmrest quality, upgrade options (storage, RAM etc.) and warranty.
