No, its not a good buy, I know it has a Gt 650m slim, and everyone is hyped because its so cheap. When it really its just a POS, You are taking 2 Video Cards into a Small Laptop, With Inferior Cooling. All gaming laptops get hot when gaming, and after 1 Year of intensive gaming you start to feel the laptop getting even hotter, all this heat degrades the laptop slowly and theres not much we can do about it, we can make the degradation slower but it will still happen. The GT650m sli will degrade even faster. Now, please look at this 2 Options that i have for you:

First Is A Sagger laptop 15 inch with a GTX 765M :http/www.xoticpc.com/sager-np7352-clevo-w350st-p-5842.html

The second is a Force/MSI 15 inch with a GTX 670m : http/www.xoticpc.com/forcemsi-16f3-22001-670m-msi-gt60-barebones-p-4346.html
in this laptop you need to go to customize and upgrade from i3 to I7 and will leave you on the same price that the lenovo.

Now lets see the gaming benchmarks : http/www.notebookcheck.net/Computer-Games-on-Laptop-Graphic-Cards.13849.0.html?type=&sort=&deskornote=0&or=0&search=&month=&benchmark_values=&gpubenchmarks=0&professional=0&archive=1&dx=0&multiplegpus=0&showClassDescription=0&itemselect_3555=3555&itemselect_4570=4570&itemselect_3515=3515&condensed=0&showCount=0&showBars=0&gameselect%5B%5D=202&gameselect%5B%5D=193&gameselect%5B%5D=191&gameselect%5B%5D=188&gameselect%5B%5D=186&gameselect%5B%5D=176&gameselect%5B%5D=170&gameselect%5B%5D=168&gameselect%5B%5D=166&gameselect%5B%5D=162&gameselect%5B%5D=160&gameselect%5B%5D=142&gameselect%5B%5D=110&gameselect%5B%5D=112&gameselect%5B%5D=105&gameselect%5B%5D=52&gameselect%5B%5D=49&gpu_fullname=1&codename=0&architecture=0&pixelshaders=0&vertexshaders=0&corespeed=0&shaderspeed=0&memoryspeed=0&memorybus=0&directx=0&technology=0&daysold=0

What do we have here? We see the GT 650m SLI winning for 1-9fps, I dont see the point in getting the lenovo with 2 cards wich will add heat to the laptop for 9fps. In the Long Run, Any Gaming Laptop from MSI, ASUS, SAGGER, TOSHIBA, ALIENWARE will be a better choice.

Lets get inside the Ventilation System Of the lenovo, It has 2 Side Vents for each graphic Card and it has a big vent down to suck fresh air for the laptop and thats ALL.

A normal gaming laptop has all the same vents as the lenovo and 2 Back vents like this: http/techinstyle.tv/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/G74_Back_Side.jpg This are the laptops that are made for 2 VideoCards, not that POS of lenovo.

Will GT650sli give you better performance? Yes, How much? 1-9Fps, Is it Worth it? No.

So which do you recommend i should get then? the one that they told me to get or the MSI? i basically want a good gaming laptop for gaming and school since i'll be mobile alot and of course with good speakers since i adore music, good graphics so i can watch some hi definition videos, play some high res games my price range is 500 - 1000

Pick this one: http/www.xoticpc.com/sager-np7352-clevo-w350st-p-5842.html just order it as it is. Check this video review of the laptop:

How about this alienware? http/www.dell.com/us/p/alienware-14/pd.aspx

 

[chulex67]

The alienware its 1349(when you add the GTX 765m), and the sagger its 988. Also Alienwares take 7 days just to build and another 7 to ship it to you. If you really want the alienware so much then get it. They are good gaming laptops but they are overpriced because of the Blings and lights and the 33LITE Fans. For me , sagger its the best option, i can take it to school, office, friends house and they will never know its a gaming laptop until i tell them.

What about an Alienware 17?

What about an Alienware 17?

Theres alot of laptops that are better than the ones i suggested, but they are more expensive. Whats your budget?

 

[MimeOner]

My Budget Is 1,000 - 1,500$ Including Some Kind Of Warranty.
