Could be a good replacement for my current Lenovo

Could be a good replacement for my current Lenovo

How old is your current laptop? I just ran Cinebench R11.5 and R15 on my nearly 3-year-old Ivy Bridge i7 laptop and I got 6.31 and 555, respectively. I tend to upgrade my laptop when the CPU speed doubles so it looks like I may be waiting another 5-7+ years since in 3 years performance went up just 20-25% from my CPU.

For this laptop I think it would have preferable if they went with an GTX970M GPU and 1080p resolution but instead they went with a slower GPU and 4K monitor. Compared to Apple MacBook Pro 15.6" though, this is dirt cheap
