8GB RAM / i5 7300HQ / 256GB SSD / 1050 Ti 4GB. Or. 16GB Ram / 512GBssd/ i7 7700HQ/ Nvidia1050 4GB

[Chandra Kanth]

I am looking for the gaming laptop under 800-900. I found two of them.
One is Lenovo Legion Y520 (8GB RAM , 256 GB SSD, core i5 7300 HQ, NVidia 1050 Ti 4GB) ~ 800$ from Lenovo website after student discount (Damn. I missed deal of 760 as I was away)


The other is Dell Inspiron 15 5000 series (16GB RAM , 512 GB SSD, core i7 7700 HQ, NVidia 1050 4GB) ~ 880 from Adorama eBay.

I was thinking that Dell is probably better bang for buck after hearing some stories from three of my friends. They said that buying from lenovo is like gamble as something went wrong with their lenovo laptops (screen/hard disk failure) right after the warranty period.

Which is better bang for the buck ?

(Another choice is MSI with 8gb ram / 1tb HDD/ i5 7300 HQ / nvidia 1050 2GB ~ 629$)

i would go for the lenovo just for the 1050ti alone.the i5 on it is still top notch mobile cpu.the gtx 1050ti will blow the 1050 out of the water when it come to gpu intensive games.

I have very good experience with Lenovo, I still have 10 years old laptop from Lenovo that is working, and very bad experience with Dell, my father had the laptop for one year and it stopped working. I also heard of that Lenovo is very bad and their laptops overheat even with cooling pad, so I don't know.

The lenovo is the better optio for gaming as the 1050ti is a fair amount faster than the 1050. Buying any laptop is like a gamble as you can have absolute garbage or a tank.
Take apple for instance. Being praised for their build quality back in the 2000's but once they released the macbook pro with the geforce 8800 they has so much issues it really left a scar.
The lenovo and dell both have good reviews and I really recommend the lenovo over the dell in this case.

1050 ti is not more than 15% faster than 1050, and 1050 4 GB doesn't exist as I know, so it is probably 1050 ti.

Dell has the Inspiron 15 5000 gaming laptops with NVIDIA 1050 4GB. They have other laptops with 1050Ti. So, I am positive that the one I mentioned has 1050 4GB. One such laptop is
(http/www.dell.com/en-us/member/shop/productdetails/inspiron-15-5577-gaming-laptop/dncwpi404sstud2) with price ~ 800$ after student discount as mentioned on the Dell website

The one I am considering is the one on ebay

Then sorry, I was wrong. If you don't want to do things as rendering or editing videos, it is really better to get Lenovo, because i5 is on the same with i7 in gaming and other tasks that doesn't use too much threads. The performance boost with better graphics will be more significant than with better processor right now.

Thanks a lot.
I forgot to mention this. I am also considering ASUS FX502VM with specs ~ core i5 6300 HQ, 16GB RAM , 1TB 7200 rpm, NVIDIA 1060 3GB ~ 900$

(Acer Predator's price of ~1100-1200 seems to be above my budget and moreover that beast is very heavy.)

Question from Chandra Kanth : "Lenovo Legion Y520 vs Asus FX502VM"

I am considering the following two laptops.

1) Lenovo Legion Y520 (IPS screen, 7th generation core i5 7300HQ, 8GB/256GB SSD, NVIDIA 1050Ti 4GB) ~ 810$ after the tax and student discount

2) Asus FX520VM (Non-IPS screen I suppose, 6th generation core i5 6300HQ, 16GB RAM, 1TB 7200 rpm, NVIDIA 1060 3GB) ~ 880$ taxfree

(I was initially also considering Acer Predator Helios 300 with core i7 7700 HQ, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD, NVIDIA 1060 6GB but it was well above my budget with price tag of 1100-1200$ and bulky)


Thanks !
