According to resquecom the build quality of Lenovo laptop is superior to Asus laptops?

I would rule out the ASUS if only because they decided to mix old GPU tech with a shiny new CPU.

Y520 is certainly the better value for money. Quad core CPU with hyperthreading, fastest GPU here, and an SSD.

The Lenovo Legion Y520 will give you a lot better performance and it is definitely worth the extra money.

The first option has the best specs (CPU, GPU, SSD) at a very good price. Much faster than the second option (8250u) for only a little more money. And agree with the the other comment that 940MX is old and way slower than the 1050Ti.
