Hi all, I need some quick help deciding which laptop I should buy. Using for college, CAD Programs, and gaming. Want to run the new Battlefield 5 with no problem.

I just bought the Lenovo Y50 UHD with these specs:
• 4th Generation Intel Core i7-4720HQ Processor (2.60GHz 1600MHz 6MB)
• Windows 10 Home 64
• 15.6" Ultra HD IPS Glare LED Backlit (3840x2160)
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M 2GB
• 16.0GB PC3L-12800 DDR3L SDRAM 1600 MHz
• Hybrid 1TB 5400 RPM+8GB SSHD
• No Optical Disk Drive
• WIFI AC Wireless (2x2)
• Bluetooth Version 4.0
• One year
• ClickPad
• 4 Cell 54 Watt Hour Lithium-Ion
• 1YR Accidental Damage Protection
• Lenovo Gaming Mouse Mat
for $949.99 with tax.

Should i role with the Dell 15 7000 series instead?

8GB Single Channel DDR3L 1600MHz (8GBx1)

Based on specs alone (not brand), I'd personally keep the Lenovo. But you'll have to lower the screen resolution for most games.
 
Alright thank you both. I was just hopping for the best possible with my money. Guess that what we all want. And as of right now, kind of upset that when i lower the resolution on the lenovo i cant lower the refresh rate but I will have to test for ingame
 


Some displays only run at certain refresh rates but usually you can change it some. Have you changed the refresh rate on other computers before?
