So I decided to buy a new laptop, and want to know if you think this is a good upgrade, or if I wasted my money. I'm waiting for it to be delivered

Old laptop
> MODEL: MSI GE60 0ND
> CPU: i7 3630QM
> GFX: Nvidia GTX660M 2GB
> RAM: 8GB DD3 1333Mhz
> HDD: 750GB 5400RPM
> DISPLAY: 15.6" 1080P LED backlit

New laptop
> MODEL: Lenovo Y50-70 2015 model (Y50 internationally, here it's known as Y50-70)
> CPU: i7 4720HQ
> GFX: Nvidia GTX960M 4GB
> RAM: 16GB DDR3L 1600Mhz
> SSD: 500GB Samsung EVO 850
> DISPLAY: 15.6" IPS panel

So what do you think, will I feel the better performance?

>850 EVO
Oh definitely.

You selling the old one?
>>
i have a y50 touch 4k

look the videos about yellow calibration on display
>>
windows in a 4k display in 15 inches is pure shit
>>
>>51680886

you better have a good reason to having a gaming laptop
>>
>gaming
>laptop
Pick one m8
>>
Have the 4k one, fucking love it

Yes goy, EXCELLENT upgrade. Moving between single cpu generations is EXACTLY what you need for a productive lifestyle.
>>
>>51680886
waste of money, get at least something with a 5xxx or 6xxx CPU
>>
>>51681571
Windows on 4k is shit at any size. Windows 4k touch on a laptop is shit that won't last 5 minutes on battery.

>buying Lenovo ever

Nigger what the fuck is wrong with you?

How about...
Putting a SSD in your current shitty laptop.
Then buying a desktop setip with 2.5x the power for the same price.

Laptops are fucking stupid anyways, so horrible to use, a 2 in 1 hybrid blows normal shittops out of the water.

Casual gaming but generally I just get pissed at a slow laptop, so I rather get a "gaming" laptop. But yeah, there's no such thing as a gaming laptop, it's a laptop, just higher specd.

>>51682148
To have gotten a 5th/6th gen i7 with the same specs otherwise would've cost met at least 50% extra, aka a grand I'm not willing to spend.
>>
>>51684277
I want a gaming PC so bad, and I hate that I had to buy yet another laptop, but I need it to be portable for work, and work requires a better laptop than the piece of shit I have now (software engineering)...
>>
>>51682332
Look, I've had bad experiences with Lenovo before, no arguing there. But, it's a great deal and the suppliers I'm getting it from offer next day collection and following day new laptop if anything goes wrong, so I'm not too worried.

MSI is superior in every way.
Note, that if you get it with Windows 10, you won't have the silent option program, which controls your fans. Fan will always spin at 3,200 rpm max. Not really bothersome for me, but it might be for you.
Although, you can flash your BIOS, and it'll fix it. I'm probably gonna do that soon.
