Buying a New Laptop/Notebook

Hi everyone!!

 

I'm new here and I wanted a bit of advice on purchasing a new laptop. I am looking for a decent gaming laptop that can play even the latest games. I don't really care if it runs on high/low settings as long as I have a decent FPS I will be happy. After looking around I found a deal on Amazon for USD 1200(Approx) I get a Lenovo Y50 -70 with:

  • Core i7 4710 HQ 2.5 Ghz with turboclock upto 3.5Ghz
  • 15.6" 1920x1080 FHD TN LED Display
  • 8GB DDR3L RAM
  • 1TB HDD with 8GB  SSD
  • Geforce GTX 860M with 4GB DDR5 VRAM

Additionally I am getting a Dragonwar Leviathan ELE-G1 Laser Mouse and a Belkin F5L055QEBLK Cooling pad.

 

So my questions are:

  1. Is the above combination worth the money?
  2. Can I play all games even if it is in the lowest setting and if not will upgrading my ram to 16GB make it work better?
  3. I've heard reviews where they say that the GTX 860M is 2GB and not 4GB but it says the same on the Lenovo website as well so I'm confused
  4. Do I need the Cooling pad or can I just use it without it?
  5. I am buying this in India so I do not have access to much in terms of options, the other options I have are the HP Envy 15 and a MSI which costs more than double with a Nvidia Quadro graphics card with same specs as the Y50 and windows 7 instead of 8.1 with the Y50.

As mentioned I am on a budget and the max I would be able to do would be 1400 USD including delivery. Are there any other options available for me who will deliver in India?

 

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section as I'm still not sure where this should go.

It doesnt deliver to India and it is not available on the websites I know for India

Wait, you can take machines that'd deliver to india? I don't know how much the delivery to India is, but here's a good option:

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 Also my guides are outdated as hell.
