First time posting, no longer a spectator. Woo

My brother plans on teaching in Korea and is currently trying to find a good Laptop to use when he's eastbound.

He just asked my opinion on this Y560 064658U Laptop - (in the middle of the 5) --->

Not a huge buff when it comes to laptops. He plans on playing a few games on it (mostly WoW which can run on a toaster) and misc.

In my opinion I think he should go with IdeaPad Y560(0646-2YU) for the cpu clock and to save a few $.

Asking for an opinion since mine is <= nothing at the moment in this matter.

For gaming it is true high clock dual-core process is better at this moment. But who knows what will happen in future lol?

I don like the screen of Y560. High-resolution screen should of course be added to a high-performance laptop.

BTW, it is not difficult to find coupon code that makes 064658U down to 1000.

Hello and welcome to the forums
Well most RTS games benefit from quad core CPUs;however, if he only plays WoW,then both of them are fine.
