Hello,

I'm going to buy a new laptop real soon, but I don't now which one..
Do u have any suggestions? I love gaming and making music.

These are my requirements:
Intel Core i5
15.6'' or 17.3'' FHD matte display
8GB RAM
A keyboard with backlight
750GB HDD or 500GB HDD with 128GB SDD at least.
A GPU that can handle BF4 on high settings..
Good speakers

I want the laptop having no trouble with overheating and so on, it just has to be good.
I was looking at the Lenovo Y50, I thought that was the way to go, but then I heard about the bad screen.. The say it's tearing when you play games, is it really that annoying, can you notice it:??:

I've got a budget.. $1450 or €1100

Thanks for helping me out with this! :)
 


I live in the Netherlands, I will be paying with Euros (€) which will be much more expensive.. There's a crisis on going 'round here.. $1450 is €1100 if you convert.. I prefer to order the laptop just in my own country, no ebay, newegg or whatever 😉
