Lenovo y530 (1060) vs Dell 7577 (1060)

[Darky1029]

Ive been looking for a new laptop for ages, and I havent been able to decide between these two. I've had Dell laptops before and i love the build quality. I mainly want to use the laptop for all round on the go workstation, gaming, writing down notes, blender, video editing, programming, maybe watch a movie in the bed, couldnt give less of a crap about speakers. I love the sleek design of the lenovo laptop, it looks professional and i absolutely hate the gamer aesthetic with over the top RGB and red accents and weird shapes.

 

I've found a lenovo y530 with 

Intel® Core™ i5-8300H Processor (8 MB Cache, 2.3 GHz)

8 gb DDR4 - 2666 MHz

GeForce GTX 1060 6gb

128gb ssd + 1tb hdd

no windows

For 1059 EUR

 

And I've found a Dell inspiron 7577 with

Intel® Core™ i5-7300Q Processor

8 gb DDR4 - 2400 MHz

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6gb

256 GB ssd

windows 10

1049 EUR

 

I might be able to get either one of these for close to half price with some string pulling, but im wondering about the long term use of these.

I want to buy a laptop, and be satisfied with it for a few years atleast. So i would like to know some of the kinks and your experiences with these laptops.

What should i pick?

I bought a lenovo laptop in 2012. I used it every day for 5-6 years. That laptop is still going strong. I would highly recommend Lenovo, especially the Y series.

I would pick the Lenovo laptop for a few reasons:

1. More storage
2. Better CPU
3. Faster RAM
4. I also like Lenovo laptops

+1 for the lenovo, great computers, have had both a y510p, and a y520, great laptops, and the 8300h is a beast, if you can though i'd try for more ram

The y530 hands down. I only need 1 reason. The 7577 has the worst laptop display I've ever seen.

The default 60Hz 45% NTSC LG panel in Y530/Y520 is also pretty mediocre

Budget? Any preference on weight and battery life? Any links of online stores? (there might be better options)
