Lenovo Y700 (UHD)

[Aliairstinger]

 

Hi, So I have been looking for a Radeon laptop for video editing and casual gaming. The best one i could find for a cheap price was a Lenovo Y700 with an i7-6700HQ, R9 M375, and a UHD screen. I was wondering how much of the sRGB scale the UHD screen can produce. I'm looking for something under $1000.

why Radeon. kind of limits your options.

Gigabyte, MSI, Asus all have good pc's that would do well for editing and great for casual gaming probably with a 1050ti

The video editing software I plan to use is GPU based and works best with Radeon graphics. (Da Vinci Resolve 15)

The lower performing mobile radeons make their slight performance benefit in resolve irrelevant.

 

You would be much better suited with a 1050ti or 1060 in your budget.

 

If you have to have AMD the nitro 5 is 600 usd with an rx560x.

@Acid Panda I have taken a look at those, but those aren't under $1000.

The problem with the Nitro 5 is the display, it is not color accurate for video editing.

or commit heresy and get a second hand mac with the new vega GPU with it

Your budget is healthy, no need to go for older models

 

Location? Any preference on weight and battery life?
