How much should it be for?
Around 80K or less...but i'd recommend against it. 650m SLI will be a headache.

Y50 is good...but the screen is absolutely shit. My opinion on laptops is that you should look at the screen quality first.

If you're looking at gaming laptops, look for one with 860m maxwell...it is the best bang for buck mobile graphics chip out at the moment.

Btw, when is this list going to be updated?
I want to buy a laptop for gaming and multimedia around 100k but the y50 is the cheapest one with a 860m but it is very expensive (around 150k ) and a used one is very hard to find... so what other laptop should I be looking at?

I heard y510p has some heating problems....

My guess is y50 will be around 95-100k with import but the real question is : will it be worth the wait and the price? And can a better laptop be bought in the same price?

I don't have requirements , I have a budget. 860m is a good gpu too. I just want to make sure , I don't repent afterwards that I could've bought a better one in the same price due to my less knowledge (Although I haven't found one yet) but then I saw that You were making this guide about laptops so I thought I'd be better if I asked you..

gtx 860m is good , but bear in mind that newer games also require some good processing power , so i7 4700mq should be the least you should be looking for :)

Ok, I get that.
So, lenovo y50 has both specifications and build quality.

Do you agree that it's the ultimate laptop for 100k or can you think of a better one?

Here's one with i7.

I think you should also consider this

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MMMMMX2/ref=psdc_565108_t3_B00K6ZIO2K?tag=viglink22456-20

Can be imported for 115 to 120,000 or msi apache but it cost more.


Ive checked y50. But its screen isnt that good either

I don't get it, This and the msi apache have the same specs as the y50 and are 100$ more expensive, is it due to the screen only? Or is there performace+build qaulity boost too?

Btw, what are you going for?
Msi apache has 17.3 inch screen. I like Asus rog one, so I will probably get that.

I think build quality of rog is much better. As well as design

Which lenovo y50 are you checking because it might be of different specs.

Also screen quality matters if you want to do good gaming.

These are all the choices;

1.Lenovo y50 , i7 with 860m 2gb is for 990$ (would cost around 110k with import)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00K6ZIMPE/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1418485852&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX200_QL40

2.The Asus ROG g551 with i7 and 860m 2gb and 16gb ram is for 1080$ (would cost around 120k with import)

3.MSI Apache with i7 860m 2gb and 8gb ram is for 1100$ (again would cost around 120k with import)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IMTQ4BK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1418496919&sr=8-1
Amazon.com: ASUS ROG GL551JM-DH71 15.6" Gaming Laptop w/ GeForce GTX860M 2GB GDDR5 and Optimus Technology, 1 TB 7200RPM HDD: Computers & Accessories

4.Lenovo y50 with i5 , 860m 2gb and 8gm ram is for 890$ (would cost around 100k with import)

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00K6ZIO2K/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1418497065&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX200_QL40

(Note I don't have any idea of import rates but I am just adding 100$ to the price as importing+shipping price)

Msi apache has the highest price but same specs but the Asus rog has 16gb ram and better build so it looks to be the best one...)

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
