Discussion on this nice+crappy? laptop

Seems like a pretty good laptop to me. Slim and fast, with free games. You might want to check out the speakers if they have a display model around you, slim laptops usually have weaker speakers, even if they are made by JBL. The screen should not be that big of an issue.

I would buy this is in a heartbeat, if I need a laptop now or you can wait for Black Friday if you want. If you really want this laptop, get the i7 with 16 GB of RAM. You will need it.

Maybe wait a month for black friday for possibly cheaper prices? Assuming you're in the US since you're buying from newegg. Seems okay though

Seems OK for under $1k. I guess you already checked http://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-IdeaPad-Y50-Notebook-Review.120215.0.html

If colors or contrast - while on desktop - appear flat you could also adjust them via Intel graphics drivers. It's not making your display better, but helps a bit to be more satisfied. At least they built in a matte display. ;)

That's a pretty good $1k laptop for me, go for it!
