Has fantastic reviews . Where are you looking?

The only knocks are the screen and hard drive speed

If you can wait 2-3 weeks, the Lenovo Y50 (and other brands) will have 960m GPUs instead of 860m GPUs.

/e
As well as 950m, etc.

The bad reviews are due to slow hard drive which I've stated , poor screen which I've stated, and super fish (bloat ware ) which they have stopped putting on any new products they ship

When it comes to performance laptops, I loved the three RoG laptops I had, but ever since I've switched to Sager/Clevo I've never looked back.

I urge you to consider upping your budget a little. Consider some of the Sager/Clevo builds from Xotic/LPC-Digital/any of the reputable builders. I'm currently sporting a Sager NP8265 from LPC-Digital with a 770M in it, and I get great performance at maximum settings on the games I play (Diablo 3, Tribes: Ascend, Borderlands 2, and GTA IV modded).

I am a huge fan of the name-brand giants like Asus and MSI for performance laptops, but for the price I have yet to see a strong competitor to my gaming laptop.
