MERGED QUESTION
Question from Elliot_13 : "Is this computer much worse than if it had a i7-6series and gtx 9series?"

Lenovo Y700 Laptop 15.6 AMD FX-8800P, 16GB RAM, 1TB HDD, R9-M380 4GB
 


Greetings, Elliot:

If you're still on the fence about the laptops, consider this:

The Ideapad 700 only states FHD for its display. You need to check that it's also IPS. Lenovo will gladly sell you a TN panel, and they are absolutely rubbish. If it isn't IPS, back away. I know that hard-core gamers will say that TNs are best for gaming, but this only applies to stand-alone monitors. On portable devices TNs only offer 1 viewing angle.

The MSI seems to have a slight GPU advantage, but I can't tell if it's worth £25. And check the display on the MSI while you're at it.

Cheers,
GreyCatz.
