PC trade for Laptop question

[WarWeeny]

SO! Here is the thing, i am planing to trade my desktop for a gaming laptop, and i got offered a decent laptop and i am seriously thinking about to seal the deal

 

I'd like to get some second opinions before sealing any deals.

 

My PC:

I5-2500K @4.5GHz
Crossair H80i 
Asrock z77m micro ATX 
8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM
MSI superclocked GTX 770
OCZ Vertex 3 250GB SSD
Samsung 1TB HDD
Coolermaster 850W PSU
Coolermaster elite 130 Case

 

 

What i get offered:

 

Lenovo IdeaPad Y50-70-59444967

 

Short specs

i7-4720Q

16GB ram

GTX 960M

1TB SSHD (although i hear it is not the fastest around)

1080P ISP matte screen

 

Now obviously my question is, is it worth it, or should i wait a few days? (just offered my PC today, and within 6 hours, this is the first reply)

 

The laptop looks nice, has some shoddy wifi, but nothing a usb dongle cannot fix, and the specs are pretty good as well.

I also had offered to a max of 300 euro's for a laptop with a gtx 970m for example, so i am uncertain to wait for that, or just go ahead and save the 300 euro and go for this laptop instead.

 

The games i am going to play are not that demanding..i think (darksouls 3 is still a mystery to me, but is one of the few games i am going to play this year on PC)

Well firstly now is probably a good time to go for a laptop, the 900 series M GPUs have been the biggest jump in mobile GPU performance in ages.

 

Secondly with 900 series laptop GPUs their specs are pretty much the model below equivelent on desktop (980M is pretty much the same spec as a 970, 960 to 950 etc). 960M will be able to play most modern games at 1080p with moderate settings. 970M is a good chip, it depends if you can afford the €300 or not.

 

Also with a laptop you should take into account its portability. <15.5" systems are pretty much mainstream and are fairly easy to cart about. But once you move up to 17" laptops you can get more powerful hardware (most 980M systems are 17") but the majority of the bags and whatnot are "gamer" orientated (read: expensive and designed for 12 year olds) they can also become difficult to lug about if you want to use it for college or work.

Should probably upgrade the wireless card in it rather than get a USB adapter

 

In any case, the laptop is fine, GPU is weaker most likely, but if you want portability it shouldn't be too bad. Especially given that the display is not utter crap.
