Anyone think this Laptop is a good idea to buy on June 21st (aka my birthday)? http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/lenovo/y-series/y510p/?sb=:000001C9:00011E0A:#customize
It has all the info there

I personally don't like laptops because if you plan on adding new parts to it, it is difficult. I would prefer a Desktop but if you really want a laptop then I think this is a pretty good one. (Not the really familiar with computers, only know a little)

It's not really going to give you much preformance if playing minecraft, but it will in other games, as minecraft is a CPU based game, and the CPU is not the best in the laptop. I say go for a custom desktop. If you need any help with it, I can give you a decent budget build.

This is a pretty good laptop. It uses an i7, but most laptops do. The GPU is decent, but it is a Nividia card, which tend to not be the most suited for games. So it'll probably heat up a fair bit. You're gonna want to keep it plugged in a lot, as it has a max battery life of 5 hours. Running Minecraft, it'll drain the battery pretty quickly (Think less than 3 hours). Not a bad build indeed. I'd say go for it.

E. I'm not a big fan of Lenovo computers, being an Asus user myself. But this will be a good mid tier gaming laptop. Don't expect too much, don't abuse it too much.

I suppose it could be good.. I had a Lenovo laptop once, and it didn't work very well, but that's probably just me because I seem to have horrible luck with all computers. Go ahead and go for it.

Note: sorry all for the late response, I was in a game trying to run away from this guy that was targeting me 24/7

I already have a Desktop, im on it right now

I'm not gonna play Minecraft on it mostly, but for other certain games.

The graphic card is not the best, I have a laptop with an nvidia geforce gtx780m and it runs minecraft with 100-200 fps. However, you have an nvidia geforce gtx755m and thats one of the worst nvidia graphic cards, if you wanna play games such as BF4, youll have to play on normal or low :/
I suggest you to buy a computer with better graphics, maybe an nvidia geforce gtx 770m or something like that

lol, i don't think you know too much about graphics cards.. nvidia geforce series graphics cards are made for playing games.

While it's true that GeForce GPUs are made for playing games, Nvidia cards are known for being multipurpose. They're great for video editing, Photoshopping, and playing games. However, If I had to choose a GeForce card, I'd use an EVGA or an ASUS as those are more directly focussed for playing games.

It look great for a laptop if you plan to upgrade it though I would get a desktop but if you go places allot and like to move places you play this would be a great
