I'm thinking to buy a new laptop real soon, but I can't decide between those two. Can You help me?
I Play games and make music a lot.

Lenovo Y50
Intel Core i7 4702HQ
8GB RAM
1TB HDD 5400RPM
GTX 860M 2GB GDDR5
15.6'' FHD matte
2 JBL speakers + subwoofer
No DVD Drive*
Windows 8.1


MSI GE60
Intel Core i7 4700HQ
8GB RAM
GTX 850M 2GB GDDR5
15,6" FHD matte
2 Dynaudio speakers
DVD drive
No OS*

MSI GE70
Intel Core i5 4200H
8GB RAM
GTX 850M 2GB GDDR5
17.3" FHD matte
2 Dynaudio speakers
DVD drive
No OS*

All laptops costs the same, the GE70 is slightly cheaper.
I heard the screen of the Lenovo is bad? Is that right? Both MSI's haven't got Windows installed.

Lenovo Y50. It has a better GPU, which is usually what games rely on.

You're right, but what do you do with a GPU when the screen is bad? I won't be gaming on a bad screen.. Can you tell me how bad this screen actually is and when I will notice this?

Thanks

I personally don't own the Y50, but from the reviews on Newegg, I can see that some people say that the screen has washed out colors and blurry text. It doesn't seem to affect games very much though.

I ve bought the an msi ge60 2pe with a 860M. i5 and 4GB is pretty, but an i7 and 8GB is better is only better if you do heavy multi task or video/multimedia processing. I ve installed GNU/Linux Debian, very happy, clearly superior to Window$ but we must wait for the maxwell support...

All right, but what's with the tearing? Isn't that annoting to you? I think I'm going crazy gaming on that Lenovo Y50. I saw some video's on Youtube of BF4 on the Y50
