Hi everyone.
I want a laptop for college. I'mg going to be using it for basic surfing and excel but also for gaming.
I don't want or need a super powerful gaming laptop, I want a laptop that's good looking, light, thin and can run any game even if it's on medium settings.
My laptop needs a dedicated gpu and a powrful i5/i7 but I don't really care as long as it can just run the games. I would like a decent screen. Ram doesn't really matter as I have extra gigs to install in any case.
I would like it to have a long enough battery life when surfing and typing.
My budget is 1000-1500 euros. I can buy it anywhere in Europe as I don't care about the keyboard language.
Right now, I've been loking at this laptops:
MSI GS60: can get an i5/860m for 1000 euros. (1080p)
MSI GE40: can get an i5/850m for 1000 euros. (1600x900)
Lenovo y510p: can get an i7/755m for 1000 euros. (1080p)
Lenovo y50: can get an i7/860m with 256gb ssd for 1100 euros (1080p)
Asus GL550JK: i7/850m for 1100 euros. (1080p)
Which one would you recommend in terms of screen, fiability, speed and battery life? Do you know of any other good laptops?

EDIT: also temps is something I'm concerned about. Any thoughts?

All the current laptops you have mentioned have heating issues if you game for a long time. I would say that the asus is good for screen quality and so is the msi's Lenovo is probably last in this category.

As for flexibility as I have never owned any of these.

The speed shouldn't really matter as they will all play games at med settings no problem. The only question is for how long.

The battery life will vary depending on what you do with the laptop.

A good place to check out these laptops is notebookcheck. They will tell in more detail which is better.
