Low to Mid-class gaming laptop

[Allucayrd]

Hi guys, I'm looking to buy a moderate gaming notebook since I travel a lot and cannot bring my rig with me. I mostly play WoW and Swtor so i was looking for something hopefully in the 800-1000$ range that could run those kinds of games (mmo's) on medium or maybe even high settings. If u have a make and model thats great otherwise maybe u could suggest processors and Gpu's to look for.

Probably best spec for your money would be the Lenovo Y50s. Comes with a non-U series CPU, the Nvidia GTX 860Ms.

Should play your games at probably high settings easily.

For some reason newegg has an i5 model whereas Lenovo's sit only has i7s.
Either would be fine.

I read some of the reviews on Lenovo's since ive never owned one myself. wondering what everyones take on their quality is. i'd like it to last at least the next 2 years without a lot of hassel.

Hello,

Be sure to check out the Eurocom Shark 3.

I like it a bit better than the Lenovo's because I can eventually upgrade my CPU. It features a surface mounted 860M.

it does seem to feature all of the same parts as the Y50 and at a bit cheaper rate, but it looks like the chassis very outdated and low quality, but that could just be my speculation since i have never heard of the company and the website looks a bit dated as well.

Admittedly, the chassis is a little thicker and dated looking but it is not low quality.
