Hey TH! Long time lurker, first time poster over here. I'll jump straight to my question.
Right now I've got a rather decent computer (i5-2400 3200MHz - 8GB DDR3-1333 RAM - GTX 750 Ti), nothing out of this world but it's good enough to run everything I'm throwing at it. I play mostly League of Legends, FIFA 15, and the odd new title coming out, and have never had a single problem playing at high-very high settings on a single 1920x1080 screen.
The thing is, I will be moving to Germany very soon, and it's very difficult to move a desktop PC across continents, so I've decided to sell this and get a decent laptop. I'm not looking for a $2k Alienware beast, but rather an 800-1000 USD machine which can handle the stuff I named above. If that's unrealistic, then it should at least do a decent job at running it. I've found these three computers on Amazon:
ASUS ROG GL771JM-DH71 - http
/www.amazon.com/GL771JM-DH71-GeForce-GTX860M-Optimus-Technology/dp/B00NJVRTHE/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1428880038&sr=1-4
Lenovo Z70 - http/www.amazon.com/Lenovo-17-3-Inch-Laptop-Drive-80FG0037US/dp/B00SB4B330/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1428879959&sr=1-2
ASUS X X550JK-DH71 - http/www.amazon.com/ASUS-X550JK-DH71-15-6-Inch-Laptop-Dark/dp/B00NGK7GHG/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1428874354&sr=1-1
Now, from what I've seen on the sticky post, Lenovo is supposedly a better brand than ASUS, though they are very close. The biggest pros I see for the computers are as follows: both the ASUS and Lenovo are cheaper than the ROG, but they have slower drive speeds, and they make small tradeoffs (Lenovo has more RAM but a much weaker GPU, the ASUS has the least RAM and smallest screen but a comparatively strong GPU). The ROG ASUS looks the best spec-wise, but is 150 dollars more expensive.
My question is twofold: do you know of another laptop to recommend for me (which can be purchased from Amazon or Newegg, since I won't have time for shopping around as I am buying it on a trip to the US), and if not, is the price different with the ROG worth it? If it isn't, which of the two other computers would you recommend?
Thank you very very much in advance for your assistance!
