Looking for best cheap laptop for gaming, £700 is absolute limit. Want to be able to run SWTOR on it.

Laptop can be refurbished.

If u already got one,just ignore my opinion 😛

I too was only really thinking of the Lenovo Y50. Best I've found so far, wondering if there's anything close from brands like ASUS, Toshiba etc. (just more well known)

Lenovo (IBM) have been around longer that all of them!

Yeah i think lenovo is trust worthy
But you better do some research before buying

The Lenovo Y50 is pretty much your best best for a (new) low-priced gaming laptop. The screen sucks, but apparently it's easy to replace it with a much better panel for about $80.

If you're uncomfortable with replacing the screen yourself, the Acer V15 is very similar but ships with a much better screen (still not the greatest), though I think it costs a bit more. Both use a Maxwell 860m at the low end config, which is good enough for 50+ fps in n BF4 at 1080p with some of the settings tweaked down.

Wasn't able to find any videos of SWTOR with this GPU.
