It's for my brother and he wants something on the go.

Plenty of us like to potato on the go, so having a laptop that can do its job as a mobile workstation + gaming is hardly a bad thing. Gaming laptops tend to be better built anyways and have some more premium features as well, which is nice to have if you don't want to compromise on a laptop that can do more than just start up minesweeper.

Sigh, the usual questions as always... Buget, usecase, screensize, location.

+1 for the y50, I just got the 4k version cuz y not, it is really nice.

Harddrive and RAM are unreasonably slow, screen resolution is also terrible. A friend of mine has a very similar model to this, same screen res and it looks pretty damn bad. Especially since you generally sit closer to the screen when using a laptop.
The Y50 is definitely a better option.

Pick one. I wouldn't trust a company that has little value in their own name since they produce embarrassingly locked down low specced machines with proprietary components for their mainstream computers.When a company takes little value in their own brand name to stamp it on really crappy products in their catalog, I wouldn't give them the time of day since they don't respect the customer by not respecting themselves. A company does not actively make crappy computers on accident.

 

If you want a better notebook,. grab something from MSI, Sager/Clevo, Asus or Lenovo. Shoot, even Alienware notebooks are decent..

If he can afford it tell our brother to get Alan Asus g550jk
