Question

which laptop?

Aug 1, 2015 8:03AM PDT

Hi, i'm looking at getting a gaming laptop but spending no more than £900/$1400. There has been one main laptop that has interested me but was wondering if anyone had any suggestions around the same specifications and price.
Currently looking in to the Lenovo Y50 15.6" Gaming Laptop. (http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/computing/laptops/laptops/lenovo-y50-15-6-gaming-laptop-black-10107245-pdt.html)

I have looked at a couple of reviews and its been pretty good, but some saying there are problems with touchpad/screen issues.

Any help would be awesome!

Felix

All touchpads have issues.

Have you found any glowing review on touchpads? Also, a display can always be better.

For the buck, you found the usual model. Go try it out at the stores.

Ok, thanks! yeah i guess thats true.
I'll hopefully be able to test it out in a store tomorrow. The main thing i was wondering is if there were any other laptops around the similar price range which are worth looking at?

You'll see the MSI, GE60 (or similar) and such pop up in the searches. Here we don't see those.

I will check out the msi, preferably want a laptop with i7, 16gb ram and at least 2/3 GB video ram. Like the lenovo!
