Because for 3k more one could get the Y500 with FHD, GDDR5 memory etc.

Gamers and power users don't care for build quality, you pay for build quality you lose features, for eg, the HP G6 series, looks like a piece of toy from the outside, works like a beast.

Neither are toys, they are made of plastic, its actually useful for gaming laptops as they generate a lot of heat and hence almost no company uses aluminium for gaming laptops, you can go for Samsung or Lenovo as suggested above, both are good, its just that Lenovo has a FHD(1920x1080P) screen.

Plastic build quality is not cheap. And aluminum might start to look bad quick. Lenovo Y500 has Aluminum lid and plastic body, BTW.

Build quality, yes, looks, no, but Vaio provides less bang for buck vs Samsung and Lenovo etc, and also if you buy a AMD GPU based laptop you won't have AMD driver support as Sony is among the only three companies to had opted out of enduro program.

Wait, save me lord, don't kill me :(

I think my advise came out a bit wrong, what I mean is on pure bang for buck, Samsung or Lenovo laptops are better than the rest, for the same price vaio provides less, and another thing, Sony has opted out of AMD Enduro support, so when new drivers out, you can't use them on Sony(if you have ivy+7xxxx latpops).

Hey, that's sexist :evil:
There fixed, I was keeping awake for 24 hrs straight, no sleep, installing stuff on my laptop, I deserve a little break.
