Is this Lenovo Y50 a good laptop for $1090?

Hi everyone,

I'm just trying to gather up some opinions and thoughts here, I'm having trouble deciding which laptop I should buy. My question is:

Is this Lenovo Y50 a good laptop for $1090?

Specs:
processor: i7-4710hq
gpu: geforce gtx 860m 4 gb
ram: 16 gb
storage: 512 ssd
weight: 2.4 kg

On paper it seems very good and the speakers are actually good for a laptop. I don't care if the screen doesn't live up to some people's expectations, I find it to be okay as it is.

I've just heard that the cooling system isn't as good as another laptop I've been looking at, an Asus for $80 less with the same specs except that it doesn't have an ssd drive and has 8 gb ram.

Help me out here!

Thanks

Yes the Lenovo is a good model, I would not lose the SSD and RAM to save $80, a 512 GB SSD if you bought it on your own it would be way more than $80.

It's going to be tough to handle the Witcher 3, haven't tried it yet but the GPU is worse than the GTX 660, which is the minimum requirement for the game itself. My gut feeling would be no, but you can always try
