I'm a first year college student majoring in Computing Science, therefore; I need the notebook for;
1) doing school work (assignments & programming languages)
2) photo editing
3) Gaming (FIFA, GTA, BF3, Crysis, Prototype, NFS MW ect..)

Please note, I will have a SSD replaced in place of optic drive

Well, Option A or Option B.

I sir, propose option C!

The Lenovo Y580 is only $50 more, it has the MUCH more powerful Quad Core i7-3630QM that the other laptop contain.

But it also has the GTX660m, which completely crushes both of the other laptops. The 660m will play all of the games you wish to play, with quite comfortable FPS on medium or high graphics.

7730 is new gpu and miles faster and takes less electricity then 635m while the 3630qm is latest tech based on 22nm and is twice as fast at least then the amd cpu.

Thanks for your initiative
Any recommendation(s)

Firstly, thanks to your initiative in helping me
Next, I am afraid for its cooling issues since I'd be using the notebook out of US.
Warranty is holding me back else would have long gone for it
