My friends friend is looking for a laptop to code with. We sometimes play league of legends and CS GO together so he plays nothing really demanding. He is going to use the laptop to code as well. I recommend him the Y410P. Great laptop, about 730 bucks. Any other laptops worth considering? Thanks!

Yeah seems like a good choice. Maybe check out the Lenovo Yoga 2 14" also.

 

EDIT: the model with dedicated GPU

Those asus rog ones are a bit overkill, and "gaming" laptops usually have terrible battery life and are heavy. If he is just playing CS:GO mainly a basic discrete gpu would be best, as even onboard GPU can run that game (but not amazingly haha)
