Looking to replace my 2009 Macbook pro. Its done the job for college, now I'm looking for a gaming laptop to have when I'm not at home or unable to use my desktop. Seriously considering Lenovo y510p with Dual Graphics cards, 4700 core, 16gb of ram for $1300. If I can get similar stats, with a bigger screen for the same money or cheaper, I'm sold!
Thanks!
