Coming into college, I would like to get myself a proper laptop that will allow me to easily carry every day and be able to play some quite demanding games.

My choices as for now are the Asus G751-JT(i7-4210hq/ gtx 970m) and the Lenovo Y700 (i7-6700hq / gtx 960m)

I've heard that the asus laptop has pretty bad build quality and won't play games efficiently unless charging, still lasting not many hours in general.

On the other side, the lenovo has a better build quality and last longer,
but the difference between the 970m and the 960m is huge apparently.

Should I go for the asus even if the build quality is not that great ? Also would it be difficul to carry everywhere ?

Thanks for your help and have a great day !
