Hi,
1-I want to buy a Decent gaming laptop [below $1000](for myself)------> i prefer 15.6"
2-a college laptop which can handle hours of web browsing and FIFA 14 :) [around $700](for a friend)

*these are the brands that i want to buy : Asus , Lenovo , Dell , MSI , Acer
***for the gaming laptop i found Lenovo Y580 rly good but The FHD(1920*1080) version is not available in my country --- is HD(1366*768) rly version as bad as some people say?
 
Solution

Aside from the display,it's a decent notebook
As for the other one,Lenovo G580 is a good choice and should handle Fifa 14 fine because it's not a demanding game

You mentioned the Lenovo y580, but why not go with the 510p (Newest version of the laptop with Intel Haswell CPUs) instead?

http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/ideapad/y-series/y510p/

You can get a Lenovo Ideapad y510p with a 1080p display and gt 750m graphics card for around $970.

In my opinion, its a great deal
