Guys, Im thinking about upgrading to a more legitimate system for on the road.
This is the one i'm looking out.
Reviews are good. I would appreciate some MWO opinions as well.

Thank you.

Specs look decent , should be able to get average FPS. But my question is...... why play MWO on the road when you can do it in the comfort of your own room with a good joytick setup and good internet connection versus slow mobile internet speed using only mouse and keyboard?

Lenovo's build quality is usually really good so it doesn't bend if you move and use it a lot on the road. I must say that you should perhaps look for some other model which has hybrid-ssd. It really does wonders for laptop loading times. And your laptop should be very light.. believe me, it doesn't feel good when you're lugging around an Asus G53 5kg laptop for a day or two. Otherwise seems pretty good deal.

Both specs and price sound nice to me, but I'd be wary of a glossy screen on a laptop.
Those things are meant to be used in more than a single location, so controlling the lighting everywhere you bring your laptop seems difficult to me.

Better option for the price:

Better option for slightly more:

And no, you won't notice the difference between an i5 and an i7 in gaming.
Smaller hard drive, but you can add a larger one if you actually need it.
You have more control overall, able to upgrade as you like.

Better graphics card = faster frame rates = better gaming experience.

Also... matte screen >>>>>> glossy screen when on the go.
Sager is the way to go for any gaming laptop over $850 in most cases.
