Great Gaming Laptop!
Amazing laptop. It runs all tasks well. Especially day to day tasks. It is very well built. Sturdy and not flimsy like a lot of laptops. I mainly use it for gaming. It will run pretty much all current games on max settings. I am currently running TESO all out and it performs beautifully at 50-80 fps. It runs WoW even better. I really enjoy this laptop. I suggest buying a cooling mat as it can get a little hot. With the mat it is perfectly cool running games. Many users complain about the screen being washed out a little but a simple fix with the nvidia contrast settings makes it beautiful. No need to spend another 100 bucks on and new screen. Overall I would rate this 10/10. There is really nothing that I do not like about this laptop as a gamer.

Great For What I Wanted
I wanted something that is slightly more gaming laptop than light weight or tablet, but I didn't want to sacrifice power. This computer seemed to be the best balance of lightness, portability, and power. In 2015, they started using the i7 4720HQ, instead of the previous year 4710HQ, which is (0.1) Ghz higher clock. I wanted a little more graphics power and expandability, but I sacrificed it for lightness and the touchscreen. By limitations, I am primarily referring to only one hard drive bay and a max of 16GB RAM (2 slots). I was worried a 5400 RPM hybrid drive would suffer, but it's not much of an issue. I am actually pleased as far as my needs go. If the above limitations are not an issue, then I would recommend it. I use it for Internet, Photoshop, Web Dev, gaming.

Outstanding budget minded gaming laptop
High end gaming laptops run around 2,500 and up. The cost of the Lenovo is quite good with the secondary Nvidia 860 capability. Games i'm playing: Minecraft, World of Warcraft. Minecraft plays outstandingly well with the 128b texture packs installed, no stuttering or lag issues. No video rendering issues. World of Warcraft plays outstandingly well also with video settings set to ultra for questing and high for raiding LFR and heroic modes. Some settings will be lower because it just improves framerates in raids. I typically receive 50 to 60 fps average doing LFR or heroic mode raiding with settings some settings on high, some medium and some low. I was pleasantly surprised to find that with the vibrance of the screen and the Nvidia 860M running, the graphics were very crisp and found that there was not much difference between Ultra and Medium graphic settings in WoW. A few things to understand about this laptop before you buy. Backlit keyboard is wonderful, very nice in dark lit environments. Touchpad is very responsive, but make sure to press (Fn-F6) before you start gaming because you are going to constantly be misaligning your cursor onscreen with your left thumb if you don't. (Fn-F6) disables the touchpad. The NVidia 860M video card is suppose to activate when graphics intensive programs are running, however I found that it needed a kick in the rear sometimes to do so. When you install the newest Nvidia drivers, you will also be installing, "Nvidia GeForce Experience". Once you get everything installed, log into your game and don't bother withg raphics settings. Exit your game and then run the Nvidia GeForce Experience. Within the NVidia settings you will see a tab to check for supported games. The software should find the game folder where your game is being stored and it should show an option to optimize the game for you. This setting will allow you to decide whether you wish for better performance or better image quality. I selected just a tad into performance over quality. Then click on Optimize! DONE! There is an option to set the graphics processor you wish to use with which program. Set your program to run with Nvidia high performance and click, "save" . I mention these steps because im sure most average users will not understand that there is an option specify and customize your graphics preferences in this way. My only complaints: Hybrid drive or a 5400rpm harddrive with a small solid state drive running in tow. Startup times are insanely fast. Literally 5 to 10 seconds from full power off to login screen. But it's still a 5400 rpm drive. You can clearly see and feel the drive inadequacy when loading a game. Once your game is loaded it runs quite well though. Second is the bloatware, Bloatware is the software that companies include that usually takes up hard drive space and slows a computer down to a crawl because all these programs start with he computer and just run constantly while doing nothing that the Windows operating system itself doesn't already do in many cases. Lenovo has quite a few programs installed on this laptop that are just not needed. A google search will tell you what you can or cannot uninstall safely. I will say though that once I uninstalled the bloatware, this laptop became outstanding. Pro's-Vibrant screen with outstanding colors, Audio is robust for a thin laptop, rubberized feel of the palmrests, ease of access to memory, harddrive and other hardware (entire back comes off in one piece) Fine screen inlay that catches dust etc on the air inlets makes for easy cleaning. One key system recovery with stamped bios makes for fast OS recovery. Con's-5400rpm hybrid drive. bloatware, lid hinges. (The biggest complaint I have found on this laptop is the hinges, allegedly they are plastic and can break In some cases. I have had no issue with the lid hinges as of yet but read many, many complaints about the issue so thought I would at least inform future consumers. In summary I am using this budget minded gaming laptop for minecraft and World of Warcraft with zero issues and it plays quite well. The memory can be upgraded to 16Gb Low voltage ddr3 ram. The harddrive can be upgraded easily to a good solid state drive. Keep in mind though that if you upgrade the harddrive you must download windows 8.1 from Microsoft to reinstall the OS.
