    Can't find a decent review for this thing anywhere. I'm looking for a new laptop and I found this one at an acceptable price compared to other laptops (since I'm buying in Croatia) with sufficient specs. Most demanding thing I'd use it for would be Planetside 2 and Rome 2 Total War. The specs of the model (just copied from the site):

    Lenovo G510, Intel Core i7 4700MQ 2,40 (3,40GHz Turbo) GHz, 8192 MB, 15,6" 1366x768, SATA 1000 GB + 8GB SSD, Free DOS, AMD 8750M 2GB, DVD±RW DL, 1x 10/100 Ethernet,802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, HDMI 1, USB 2.0 1, USB 3.0 2, 2,6 kg

    Only thing that doesn't seem good is the screen, but I have an external display and really I'd rather play on a native 1366x768 than have my graphics card struggle on a higher resolution. I already have windows 7 as well. So... does anybody have this particular model, or knows something about it?

    Here is a review of the G700, which shares a similar chassis and a slightly weaker processor and battery life.

    Review Lenovo G700 Notebook - NotebookCheck.net Reviews

    However it might have a different graphics card. My friend has a G700, but no i am not 100% sure about the G510, however i do like the fact that is has a mid-range Radeon and a Quad Core CPU. Though personally i suggest buying the Y510p if you can spare a few extra dollars, you can get the i5+SLI model on Newegg for 850$.

    Unfortunately the Y510 is a lot more expensive where I'm buying =(

    I'm more interested in the performance though.
