Just order it from NCIX and pay them the $50 builders fee.

nah, you won't screw up. It's really easy if you actually do research. Or like @PyroDonkey said, just pay people to make them build it for you. You can have a risk of breaking it when they ship it to you though.

I have one, and there is nothing wrong with the hinge, and you could get a Acer nitro v15, if you really don't trust my advice, or hate lenovo

My Cheap But Good Rig: I7-3770s, Intel Motherboard (actually made by intel), 16gb DDR3, Nvidia Gtx 1070, 250gb Samsung 850 EVO SSD, 750gb HDD, Evga 500 BR power supply

Because the Y50 sucks?

Not really......

We've been over this.

The machine sucks. It's not good. It's not great. It's passable, and is only a "thing" because of its ridiculously low price, which is because of shoddy stuff on it like the screen and how it forces itself to throttle well below power and thermal limits.

 

If you have it and like it then fine. YOU enjoy it. Don't tell other people it doesn't have the issues I say it does. That's like telling someone a car that shuts down at 100 miles per hour is perfectly fine because you never go beyond 80 miles per hour in your usage. It's stupid, and wrong.

I have finally moved to a desktop. Also my guides are outdated as hell.

All I am saying is a tried a very demanding benchmark, where the Cpu was at 100% and my temps were perfectly fine, plus you can replace the screen for $50, and it is still cheaper than most other options

CPU being at 100% doesn't mean anything. I could force 100% CPU usage across six different benchmark types, and each benchmark would produce different heat, draw different amounts of power (aka TDP) and overall act differently. What matters is what you can't see, which is the whole point of "benchmarks". Benchmarks are sort of a "standardized test" where similar PCs should perform similarly. Their only worth is for comparing CPU A to CPU B in the scope of that specific test.

The speed of the CPU didn't go down, and there was no performance dip
