I would look here.
http://outlet.lenovo.com/outlet_us/l.../?page-index=1 I have been searching for a relatively good and and inexpensive gaming laptop as well and if you go to the page above and search for the Y series, they typically have some type of Y40 or 510p or even the Y50s as long as you don't mind refurbished (sometimes they even sell new ones for discounts). They go fast though and they update it literally like every hour with new laptops so check it out often. I found one Y50 on there but was too slow to purchase and it was gone! You can check out the specs for each but the Y40 is pretty cheap and has an R9 275 which runs games pretty decently. The 510p has dual 755M in SLI which is a little better than the r9 275 but from what I hear runs a bit hotter. And then the Y50 has the nice 860M which can runs game pretty damn well for a laptop card. Just make sure you read the specs before you buy because some on the site have i5 processors and some have i7.

You never said what games or apps your attempting to run on this new machine. It's really hard to suggest hardware to someone who doesn't even say what they are attempt to run on it in the first place. But I would look for a i5 since 99% of games don't support hyper threading and overclocking on a laptop that will already run super hot under load is a bad idea. 8gb of ram is the most that 99% of game will utilize, anything more is for 4k video editing or VMs. Put your money into the GPU and a solid SSD.

I tried to exchange it for another brand and found out that if I went with any brand other than Sager I only got a 15-day (from the day it ships, not arrives) return window. It's pretty much impossible to figure out if an issue like that is just an annoyance that I'll adjust to or a real significant problem in (less than) 15 days, so I decided to return the laptop instead. Xotic wound up charging me not just for shipping, but also $100-something for minuscule little scratches that you get on any laptop the moment you remove it from the packaging. After that I swore never to get another computer for them. | |||

In the market for one as well. I prefer newegg. I do use Xotic and gentec to watch pc overviews. I am really liking the look of the new acer black edition laptops.

90% of the software to this day still doesn't support hyper threading. Unless you are editing 4k videos or running virtual machines it's 100% useless. Now if you are looking to overclock the CPU then the i7 is a solid CPU to start with.
