9,200egp thats 1174$

and would any of them last for 3 years?as i want to play games on at least medium quality....sry for my bad english
 
The lenovo one is better, it basically has the same exact specs as the ASUS but with a one tier higher graphics card ( gtx 860m<GTX 960 M ) . About the question if it'll last 3 years - Definitely . Will it play games at highest settings for 3 years - No. Will it play with adjusted graphics settings < Definitely.
 
I have another laptop but its used,its an alien ware with intel Core i7-4800MQ,16 gb ram and Dual NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 770M with 3GB GDDR5 and 1.5 TB HDD with 1400$ but im afraid of laptop failure after a few months but it would last 3 years with high quality games,right?and what do u think about being used for a year?
 
I k it has better specs but someone told me it got get damaged after a few months as its used so what do u think based on specs and 2 years used laptop while other 2 are new with warranty,which one would be better to get?
