Sorry, I forgot to mention this...

I have a PC (4690K + SLI GTX 970), I just need a laptop for mainly taking to work, and travelling.

I'd stay away from Lenovo based upon their recent rootkit stuff getting brought to public attention [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] .

Maybe the OP needs it for portability or like he said, he already has a desktop. Please just answer the question and not go off topic. As for the OP, it is a pretty nice laptop, i would get it. Watch a few youtube videos on it and see if you like it. If it were up to me then i would go with a toshiba satellite.

First of all its not off topic, OP is looking for a PC, he didn't state he already had a desktop, nor that he 'needed' a laptop, i was simply telling him what would be the best for his money if he was looking to game on a PC.

Second of all don't just recommend a 'Toshiba Satellite' that's like me saying i recommend a Nvidia Graphics card he could go ahead and buy a crappy GT 620.

OP: It's not a bad laptop at all, but ill have a browse when i get home from work and see what i can find.

Just want to point out the first words on OPs post saying he needs a laptop.. Lenovo laptops are great. I've wanted one but can't afford it at the moment. when it comes to laptops Youtube is your best friend there though plenty of highly respected youtubers review laptops all the time and run gaming benchmarks.

I'd get a decent dell with an i7, I've got one, but they're all good.

I'm beginning to think that you can't read because the title say's "IS THIS A GOOD LAPTOP TO BUY?" OP also said "I need a laptop for work, and also would like to do some LIGHT gaming on it. " Yes you went off topic because you just ignored the question he asked and said that he should consider building a PC. He said that he would be needing it for work and LIGHT gaming, and that laptop will handle most "light" games if not all. You did make a good second point, i recant that statement. Its good that your trying to help him out, but at least answer his question. I'm not trying to argue, so i will end this conversation, oh and have a nice day.

Wow is everyone up for starting wars over the tiniest thing nowadays.

That laptop is okay specs wise but as someone said before Lenovo used to put software on it that was prone to hacks. If you get the laptop make sure to ask the person if it has the software on it.

I do not know what you do but I doubt that you would need an i7 and 16Gb of RAM unless you will be running lots of virtual machines or rendering animations at work.
