I am looking for a new laptop for work and gaming. Will be taken from home to work daily. Work involves photo editing. I am the lead for a Top seller eBay. Since I don't like to spend money on just work I would like to be able to game on the go or when I go to my girl friends house. I understand that my budget does not allow for the laptop that will perform like my desktop.
I have heard nothing but great things about the Y50, I would like to buy a laptop that I can downgrade to windows 7 with no issue I really don't like windows 8 I have tried it and just simply hate it. Also with a 860M does 4gb have a performance boost over 2gb reason I ask is the card doesn't seem powerful enough to even use 4gb.
Am I better off saving up more money for a better laptop or does the performance not really improve. I guess I don't expect this laptop to get 60 fps @1080p on new games that just not realistic.
If you have any better options please let me know.
Budget $800-$1300 Would prefer to stay on the low end.
For what it matters I get better deals then most people from these retailers: Bestbuy, Newegg, Tigerdirect, Ncixus and Xoticpc.
What is important to me:
SSD but can be added by me.
Nvidia 860M and higher
8GB of ram is fine
15.6 but could do a 17 inch
I do not like how plain Sager/Clevos are so those are not an option right now.
Laptops I have seen so far. I see there is a premium price on the Asus right now.

asus g7xx bestbuy $1349 don't understand why these run so much for their hardware but I love the look and I am elite-plus with perks from the General manager so I can do all warranty with Bestbuy.
