edit-Decided to raise the budget a bit.
Budget?: $800-$1300
size?: max of around 7 lbs
screen res?: doesn't matter.
portable or desktop replace?: Whichever has better hardware.
gaming quality?: While I'd like high quality, I don't need it for every game, medium is acceptable.
tasks?: College stuff (papers, etc.), programming, and gaming.
storage?: 500GB at least.
lifespan?: I'll probably keep it for 4-5 years.
Optical drive?: I don't really need DVD or Bluray or anything like that.
Country?: USA
Ok, now that all that's out of the way, here are some of the laptops I've been looking at so far.
MSI Computer Corp. GX60 1AC-021US
Now, my only concern with this one is the processor. Does it affect performance to the point where I'm better off with a less powerful GPU? (I've heard a lot of conflicting information about this.)
The other laptops I've been looking at are the Lenovo Y-Series.
I have a friend who is buying the y510p w/ Dual graphics, [strike]but that's outside my price range.[/strike]
I'd like to get a gaming laptop that has better (even if it's just a little) or equal to the capabilities of his
. Or if his is the best deal, I'll end up getting that.
In other news, I am seriously leaning towards the MSI GX60. If anyone has anything negative to say about the specific model, please let me know.
