MSI has better features and has more experience in the laptop gaming market so they will have better stuff for gaming than lenovo which is more geared towards multimedia than gaming.

it depends wich one is cheaper and give precise model, but look at the videocard.

they have the same gpu and cpu(860m and 4710-hq) both have 8 gigs ram
msi has qhd screen and lenovo has fhd
storage both have 1 tb and a sad for os
both have windows 8.1
mis looks and feels better and is lighter also has a better keyboard
money is not an issue(i.e i can go for the msi here but can't spend more than that)
i just want to know if msi is worth the extra 650 bucks

for the same graphic card take the money and run (lenovo make quality stuff)

The biggest gripe I have read about the Lenovo Y50 is the LCD screen which has rather poor viewing angles. I know nothing of the MSI laptop though. If everything is the same, but the MSI laptop has a better screen, then I dunno if that alone is worth $650.

I would probably get the Y50 and use the $650 to buy a refurbished laptop with a good 1080p LCD screen for normal usage when not playing games.
