Thinking of getting a gaming laptop

[khel]

Hey everyone im thinking getting a gaming laptop probably this week or next. No time to really build a gaming pc since I'm barely home and go out a lot... I'm looking into these choices right now.. Lower price would be nice and all but i wouldn't mind taking recommendations.. I'll most like use it to do coding for school and definitely gaming
Also feel free to add other good choices...

really newbie question.. is there a big significant difference with 1600x900 with 1920x1080p?

Lenovo will give you a pretty big bang for your buck. The specs look decent. look into Lenovo's student site which will give you better pricing. You might want to consider buying a model with a lower end HD then upgrading to a nicer Hybrid drive or SSD. I think the 15" model might have a second drive bay. You didn't mention which games. You can install a second Video card in the optical bay if you want.

Keep in mind the Lenovo doesn't have Optimus So battery life will suffer, I believe the MSI GE 60 does have optimus so theoretically it should last a decent amount of time not gaming.

Dont really mind.. since i plug mostly.. I got down the lenovo y510p to 1047$ with tax and all so might get it... MSI price to steep sadly
