I'd like to know more about their price and availability in Europe (mainly Germany). Also how future proof are the gtx860m and the gtx870m?
Thanks :D
 
Solution
"Future proof" is a bit of an oxymoron with laptop graphics cards. Keep in mind, an 880M is still barely as fast as a desktop GTX 760. That being said, you could easily get 2-3 years of 1080p near-high settings playability out of the 870M.

in europe is going to be a pain in the ass to get hold of them. you could wait for them to come on to ebuyer, but europe always has to wait a while compared to the USA. you could import it from the USA, but at no small cost, i'm not sure how the exact numbers work out, but probably at about 100-200 euros more :/ best bet is to wait

860M will run almost everything at high or better for current games at 1080p, and probably medium for any further graphics advances, even with the new directX 12 coming soon
870M will guarentee everything at high and the majority at ultra or better at 1080p
both should be good for 3-5 years at 1080p and much longer for lower resolutions.

I just found the Lenovo Y50... it basically has the same components as the gs60 stealth, it's also probably easier and cheaper to get in europe since it's lenovo... Do you guys agree ? Is the Lenovo Y50 with a gtx 860m a good option ?
I know it has 4K display as an option but I don't really think 4K is necessary on a 15" screen.
Thanks :D !

Yeah, whenever the little sucker comes out, I think that's a great laptop for what the price range it's intended to launch at. If it's the replacement for the Y510p, then even better.
