New laptop - help me please

[Morten Blom]

Hello - Im looking to buy me a new laptop. Its the first time im buying a computer really, so i do not have much experience in this matter. I primarily uses my computer for gaming, such as League of Legends and Diablo 3. Im thinking of buying this computer: Lenovo IdeaPad Y510p - 6GB Core i5 15.6″ GF-GT755M 2GB.

The specs are the following:

Intel Core i5 (4. Gen) 4200M / 2.5 GHz ( 3.1 GHz ) / 3 MB Cache
6 GB DDR3L
1 TB HDD / 5400 rpm
15.6" LED baglys 1920 x 1080 / Full HD
NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M - 2 GB
802.11n, Bluetooth 4.0 , Gigabit Ethernet

Im pretty sure both league of legends and Diablo 3 shouldnt have any problems running these games in the highest quality, maybe im wrong though?
But my question is to you guys, If i were to buy a game that required more power than lol and d3, such as GTA 5, Batman Arkham knight, no mans sky or the Witcher 3 - would i be able to run these games with the laptop im thinking of buying? Sorry for my english and thx for you help

This unit is much better in most every way, for two hundred dollars less. i7 instead of i5, more RAM, higher tiered and newer GPU. Plus, I think the ASUS unit has a slightly better TN panel display as well.

please don't ever buy a Lenovo they have bad build quality horribly battery life and are just crap in every way.
go with the one below as that one will have no problem handling all those games

Not necessarily. Depends on the model. The Y50's have a terrible TN panel display though. I have two Lenovo laptops that are great, but I still like my HP Envy better. That ASUS unit is pretty damn solid for the price.

Looks nice! problems is, i dont think they ship to Denmark - i found this though http/www.wupti.com/produkter/computer-og-it/baerbar-computer/baerbar-pc/asus-f751ldv-ty233h - the price in uss dollars is 849. Is that a fair price, or should i keep looking?

17,3 " / Intel Core i7-4510U
12 GB RAM / 1000 GB Harddisk
NVIDIA Geforce 820 2GB
Sonic Master audio

The 820m is weak, and not likely to offer playable rates at any decent settings on some of those titles, especially Witcher. You want a minimum of a GTX 850m and preferably an 860m or higher. More expensive, yes, but like they say, if you want to play, you have to pay.

Might have helped if you said you were in Denmark to start with. I'll look for some more appropriate units that will be available in your market, but you may need to find a way to increase your budget a bit if possible. I'll see what I can do but it won't be until tomorrow, as it's 3am here and I'm calling it a night.

 

[Morten Blom]

Okay - hmm i guess i need to spend a little more then i first assumed. I think i can go as far as 1000$ though. Thank you very much for your help sir, its a big help. I guess i need to keep browsing a bit more.

This is probably your best bet. It has an i7, GTX 860m, 8GB of RAM and a hybrid 1TB hard drive. Pretty good specs. It does have a TN panel, so the viewing angles aren't the greatest in the world, but any similar unit with an IPS panel is going to be several hundred dollars more, most likely.

That one looks very nice! The specs are very good for that price.
"please don't ever buy a Lenovo they have bad build quality horribly battery life and are just crap in every way."
^- Should i be worried about this?

 

[Baumy15]

I'd say no as the Y50's are better as the ones my school have you can actually snap the chassis in 2 with your hands and I've gone through 6 in one year (mainly battery failure and on time the internals melted) reviews say the Y50 cost a lot but had good build quality. I'm taking their work for it as it stated how crap the T440's were.
Also are you looking at just Lenovo or are you open to other brands?

 

[Morten Blom]

Im open for all sorts of brands. Well, but no mac since i find them too expensive. But your saying that the Y50 are ok quality?

 

[Baumy15]

Yea ok not great ok lots of people have been complaining about the battery life though.
If you are looking at one for gaming see what MSI offer in your price range

 

[darkbreeze]

You all need to consider as well that what's actually available in the specific European market we're talking about here does not offer the variety we have in the US or other world areas. And ordering from other markets isn't likely to be a good choice unless the OP plans to use an adapter to power their device and learn to use a US keyboard.
