Hey I need a laptop for school and my research keeps bringing me back to the same two options: Lenovo Y50($1200 version) and the MSI GS60 Ghost($1499 version). The issue is that I only have $1500 to spend and anything over $1200 will be borrowed money from my father, who wants help but shelling out $300 will make things hard on him. I don't want to have to settle for low settings in games but the less I spend the better. Please leave your opinion or suggest something you think I may have missed.
My only requirements:
-Form factor. This I perhaps the most important thing. I will be carrying around this computer in my backpack so the thinner and lighter the better.
-specs.I am used to playing games on the highest settings which I know is not practical but I still don't want to settle for medium settings. I will also be doing some programming and graphics work in addition to gaming.
-build quality. As I mentioned this will be with me daily so it needs to be ably to stand up a little abuse
Thank you in advance for the help.
