Gaming Laptop New vs Used

[Vozzler]

I need some advice, I'm going to buy a new laptop this coming friday and Im choosing between:

$1,250 Lenovo Y50-70 (Brand New)
I7-4720HQ, 16gb RAM, GTX 960m 4gb, 8gb SSD and 1TB HDD. FHD LED 15" Display not touchcreen.


or

$1,400 MSI GT70 2PC Dominator (Used w/ 1yr remaining warranty in a very good condition)
I7-4800MQ, GTX870m 3gb, 32gb RAM, 1TB 7200RPM + 128gb SSD, 17.3" display FHD non glare type.

So please enlighten me, its about brand new vs used but with nice specs.

Thank you.

Hi! Although the used laptop definitely has better specs, I'd recommend that you always buy brand-new, with the full warranty. You never can never really tell exactly what "very good condition" means or how long that condition will last. The fact is that it has already experienced use and wear and tear, and the previous user might have affected the laptop in some way without you or them knowing.

If the used one is sold under a reliable seller then get the msi. It is much more robust than the lenovo. Otherwise get the lenovo.

The used MSI laptop was bought by the owner from the mall where the new Y50 70 is being sold.
