Low End Macbook vs Mid End Laptops

Fill the questionnaire first.

Not a simple comparison as Apple has a very small line of products and they optimize the OS according to the device. So low spec.s do not necessarily mean low performance (in a reasonable limit, of course).

Personally, i'd increase my budget go with Lenovo Y 510p or a custom built Clevo/Sager/MSI gaming laptop.

i've already zeroed in on the y510p..getting it this week..just wanted to know techies view on the low end mac

Just no.

no for mac, my friend has a macbook pro 17 - 2008 and got a quote for 50k to repair it just for a capacitor problem whereas my vaio cr had the same problem and is roughly the same age but i got it repaired for 2k
turns out logic board problems are common along with battery issues in most macbooks
i have a first gen mac pro xeon but its apparently "outdated" according to apple,i now run elementary os on it in bootcamp

You can't compare oranges to an apple.

Get Y510p & have a happy gaming life

Y510p is still selling like hot cakes

+1 to Y510p or wait for MSI.

Make up your mind. If you want to game on any kind of serious level, don't get a mac. I mean never. Low end Macs aren't gaming machines, no matter what people say.
And if your sole purpose is gaming, build a desktop, there's nothing like playing games on 29" FHD display on Ultra settings. You can never go wrong with a desktop, so in a sense basically you are overpaying lenovo for fancy led lights and carbon fiber body, if you just want a machine that can play games.

Thank you for all your advice. I got y510p ..sorry about replying so late.
