    looking at these 3 Lap tops. Trying to make a logical choice (ha)

    I ended up going all in and ordered the y50 directly from lenovo. I got the newer touch model with the gtx 960m (4gb) gpu and the i7-4720hq cpu I did end up getting the lower one with the 8gb or ram (which has always been plenty for anything I've ever used my desktop for) and the "SS HD" 1tb...
