14",15" are fine. 17" if there is no better alternatives.

3. What screen resolution do you want?
Does not matter much.

4. Do you need a portable or desktop replacement laptop?

Not important.

6. Do you want to play games with your laptop? If so then please list the games that you want to with the settings that you want for these games. (Low,Medium or High)?

7. What other tasks do you want to do with your laptop? (Photo/Video editing, Etc.)
Coding. Visual studio, Dev C++.

pcdepo.com sadecenotebook.com

As long as I can make it work with SSD upgrades in the future if it doesn't have one.

11. What kind of Optical drive do you need? DVD ROM/Writer,Bluray ROM/Writer,Etc ?
I wouldn't mind if it didn't have an optical drive.

12. Please tell us about the brands that you prefer to buy from them and the brands that you don't like and explain the reasons.
I do not want an HP because I had bad experiences with them. Asus and Lenovo are okay.

13. What country do you live in?
Turkey

The models I've found are Lenovo y40-80 for $730 and Asus x550jk which is $742. The thing with the Asus is that it actually comes with an onboard 4 gig ram but the distributor can add another 4 gig so it works in dual channel and that price is with 4gig added. I'm reading complaints about Asus's HDD and many users are saying that they have been experiencing heat issues. I hope it's about their usage because the GPU on the Asus one looks pretty good. I was looking for a Lenovo Y410p but unfortunately it's much more expensive in my country. I'm waiting for your advices. Thanks in advance.

Found that for now, Mind letting us know what area you're in or other options for providers? I'll probably add a few more here in a bit. The websites you linked aren't in english or i can't figure out how to change the language so it might take me a bit to look at

I just found out that the Asus x550jk(4 gig version) is on daily sale with 32% discount and free shipment on gittigidiyor.com(a subsidiary company of eBay in Turkey) That will save me 100 bucks and I can get KINGSTON 4 GB DDR3 1600 MHz SODIMM for $42 and HI-LEVEL 120 GB 2,5" SATA III(read550/write530) for $71. They are also free shipment. All of these cost $740 and I may go for it if there are no better alternatives.

I am sorry these sites do not have English language support but I can search for them if you can provide me the make/model name.

I tried to look for something with 1080p resolution but they are all listed under 1366x768. Either that range just has those screens or the website may be understating. I didn't check, but my personal recommendation from ur 2 sources are these ones-

http/www.pcdepo.com/asus-k555ln-xo326d-notebook
http/www.sadecenotebook.com/lenovo-z5070-59-432061-pmu400576
http/www.pcdepo.com/lenovo-y4070-59-431970-notebook

Other options;

http/www.pcdepo.com/lenovo-g5070-59-431730-notebook
http/www.pcdepo.com/lenovo-ideapad-g510-59-412903-notebook
http/www.pcdepo.com/asus-x550lb-xo025d-notebook
http/www.sadecenotebook.com/asus-x550jk-xo012d-pmu357101

I couldn't find a way to make the site English so i went strictly off specs/ram/ processors x cores.

I suggest you look up the model numbers in your own time and check the reviews.

Thank you for your help,appreciated. Lenovo y4070 is not bad. AMD R9 M275 is much better than the GT840M, although y4080 would be great but I guess the distributors here don't like that series
