Planning on getting a gaming laptop to replace my gaming computer (because my gaming computer is taking too much space in my room) and found a few options:
-ASUS ROG GL552VW-CN461D
-LENOVO IdeaPad Y50-70
-ASUS ROG GL552J-XDM174T-BTO02
Any recommendation on which laptop I should buy, or feel free to recommend me a laptop with similar specs, preferably under 1300 dollars, Thanks!
This is a very popular wuestion and my friends ask me the same thing
Depending on what (hardcore) gaming experience you want, you should lean towards buying a desktop. The hardware is more capable and more powerful for running hardcore games in full resolution and fps. If you decide to get a desktop and you have the money, i recommend building a desktop with good components.
Otherwise if you are leaning towards a laptop then make sure you get a laptop with at least 16gb ram, a solid state drive, 1tb HDD, intel I7 CPU and a decent gpu
There's no competition between then ASUS and Lenovo.
Lenovo has serious stand behind their product problems. They bought IBM PC division and proceeded to drive the quality of the system into the ground. Their customer service is well below par. They even makes Dell customer service look good. Lenovo Makes it hard to surf thru their site without signing up to find trouble shooting tips. Sometimes it is impossiblem to find certain things without giving them your email addy. The last and final thing to remember about them is they are a Chinese Government own company. It is up to you if you want to trust them. Lenovo also got caught shipping system with Adware installed on them called Visual Discovery by Superfish. It was a giant security hole that they intentionally installed for corporate greed.

ASUS does not modify Windows as bad as the other manufacturers. They have excellent build quality. They might add a lot of bloat but they also makes it easy to get rid of it. Their customer support and technical service is far better then the others and they have excellent online support. I have dealt with many companies when it comes to this kind of support and ASUS stands out.
The one I would choose is http://www.newegg.com/...6834232769 its only draw back is it has Windows 10.
The other ASUS is good but has a 4th gen i7. It does come with 8.1 which could make a big difference when playing games.
