I want to buy a laptop for my engineering works and beside them for gaming! I mean the speed and not getting hot and laggy is more important than graphic power in games for me.
Help me choose between these please:
1. Lenovo Ideapad Y700 (i7-6700HQ, 16Gb-DDR4, GTX960, Hybrid Hard)
2. Asus G501jw (i7-4720HQ, 16Gb-DDR3, GTX960, SSD Hard)
3. Asus UX501jw (i7-4720HQ, 12Gb-DDR3, GTX960, Hybrid Hard)
4. Asus G551vw (i7-6700HQ, 16Gb-DDR4, GTX960, Normal 5400rpm Hard)
 
I would opt for the i7 6700HQ from Lenovo. The 6700 performs better, and has a lower TDP because of the 14 Nm die. It should run cooler and give a little better battery life. From Notebookcheck review:

"Performance

According to the specified clock rates and the improved architecture, the Core i7-6700HQ performs roughly on par with the former, somewhat higher clocked Core i7-4900MQ or i7-4810MQ (Haswell). Under long-lasting full load, the Skylake chip will take the lead over Haswell-based predecessors, as the advanced 14 nm process leads to a higher energy efficiency and reduces throttling.

Even the most demanding applications and excessive multitasking are handled easily."

Thank you man. What about the 4th one? G551vw has the same i7-6700HQ as Lenovo Y700.
Does Y700 have better performance than G551vw? any experiences?
