Not trying to crap this thread, but Lenovo y50 still seems more of a VFM.

Disappointing if the buying price is near the MSRP.
Max 95k for the Apache pro with 860m. Anything above looks a little damaging.

Again, its my personal opinion.

Ain't coming cheap was a bit more expected form MSI. This would need a price cut to come into league for a VFM laptop.

My Dell Inspiron 15R(I7 4500U+AMD 8850M+8GB RAM) was a much better buy at 68k than that 72k MSI model

My Dell Inspiron 15R(I7 4500U+AMD 8850M+8GB RAM) was a much better buy at 68k than that 72k MSI model

That Dell model has no added gaming features.
Just by comparing 3 determinant (CPU, GPU, RAM), GP60 is still okay.

(1) CPU --- i5-4210H vs i7-4500U (Intel Core i5-4210H vs i7-4500U)
(2) GPU --- GT840M vs AMD 8850M (Radeon HD 8850M vs GeForce 840M)

(3) Memory of GP60 is upgradable up to 16GB (2 RAM slots)

(3) Memory of GP60 is upgradable up to 16GB (2 RAM slots)

While the proccy is good and is about 20% faster than the 4500u in my dell model, I am skeptical about the GPU.The 840M is a mid-range gpu at best, especially compared to the 8850m which ranks 3rd from top in the mid range gpu list on notebookcheck.

Also I feel that 4 Gb ram is a bit too less for a gaming notebook.Yes we can always add more Ram but 4Gb is quite less for a price like 72k.

Very steep pricing but only time will tell how these notebooks sell.

Cheers!

I'll give my review on the GP20 2PE Leopard there, looks VFM considering what most other OEMs are giving, i.e. ULV i7s and GT 820m :lol:

[MENTION=277192]rhyansy[/MENTION], i still don't get why a 15k difference between two apache pros for a 128 GB SSD (which costs like 5-6k) :confused:

It's with laptop not with desktop. Both models cater to different target users.

Hmm, we might consider doing such promotions next time by tying up with RAM/HDD companies.
