School and Gaming Laptop Help

Hello Summoners,

I was wondering if anyone had some good tips on buying a budget gaming laptop. I'm trying to buy something that can run most games with a high fps. It doesn't have to be on high settings but I don't want medium setting LoL testing the hardware. I really just want something to do my homework on and be able to play games on occasionally. I already have a decent gaming PC and I just need something to do school work on, take notes, and possibly edit videos.

I just want a realistic estimate on what I may be paying and what my options are. And what the price may be for what I want to achieve. Any help is appreciated.

I would recommend the Lenovo y50. While i have the y70, the y50 has similar specs (just smaller), Lenovo makes some relatively inexpensive gaming machines while still performing fairly well.

From my experience with the y70, it runs LoL at 60+ FPS on Very High and it can handle modern games fine at medium to high settings. The i7 4710HQ and the GTX 860M together make a quite powerful yet mobile machine. Downside is the battery life, of course, but if u tone everything down and not play games, u can still manage a 4 hour battery life I've heard, which is very good as a gaming laptop.

so yeah i recommend the lenovo Y50 or the Y70 depending on your size preference. I wouldnt recommend going to the Y40 because that uses an ultrabook CPU, which is less powerful than the full mobile one.

You can browse the entire Y series lineup (which is for games and creativity) here, and see what best fits your needs. http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/lenovo/y-series/?menu-id=y_series

By the way, if u care about good viewing angles u should get the touch models because I've heard that the regular ones use TN panels which have very poor viewing angles

Hmm. I use Acer :P It runs league at 160 Fps, and only costed me around 600$. Not bad for a 2 year old laptop. I'll give you the model if you want
