The Inspiron 7559 is a good deal for the money. It has variations ranging from an $800 model with an i5 and 1TB HDD to a $1200 model with an i7 and 4K touchscreen. All of them come with a 4GB GTX 960M, which is essentially the exact same as a desktop GTX 750 Ti.

This is also a good place to look: http://portablepicker.com/

Make sure to go for at least 8GB RAM or 4 GB RAM + SSD. :)

For less money, you can get the Inspiron 7559 with a better CPU and GPU (and likely better cooling). You can then use the money you saved to get a 250/500GB SSD for it.

Also, I'd stay away from Lenovo as a brand in general when it comes to computers. There's been a lot of controversy surrounding them regarding SuperFish. I do not know your level of technical expertise, but SuperFish was essentially an encrypted HTTP certificate "vendor" located on your PC. When you go to a site that's encrypted/secured (signified by the "https://" in the URL), the web server provides a signed "certificate" to prove that it's trusted. Your computer then checks with the issuing certificate vendor (such as VeriSign) to make sure that the certificate is legit. When you visited a secure website that Lenovo trusted, SuperFish (located on your PC) verified that the site's certificate was legit. This was a serious security threat because malicious software on your computer could modify SuperFish to trust shady websites that contain malware or even ransomware. Fortunately Lenovo shut down SuperFish as a whole, but even so I would not completely trust them at least for the time being.

@LeeTheENTP Sadly i cant buy the dell insiron because of the weight. Its 2.7 kg and it would be bad for my health.

I don't think that the 0.7 kg of difference will be bad for you health, lol.
(Unless you have health problems already)

It's not on new Lenovo laptops any more, but even so there are much better laptops for the money (like the one I linked).

May god know what these people are talking about

 

[X_EpicM_X]

@LeeTheENTP I might be buying it, I kind of already convinced my parents.
Just one question, what about the battery of the laptop

The Lenovo has a 56Wh battery, which according to Lenovo's site will power the laptop for up to 8 hours. While gaming, it'll probably be closer to 2 hours. The Dell has a 74Wh battery, which Dell claims can power the laptop for up to 10 hours. While gaming, the larger battery should compensate for the more powerful hardware, leading to around the same gaming time as the Lenovo.

@LeeTheENTP Thanks so much dude! I think Dell is the perfect one for me.

That's a nice laptop, but at $1300 it's hardly worth the money when you can get almost the exact same specs for $400 - $500 less.
