    Hi guys,

    I plan on buying the Lenovo Y50 ( i7-4720HQ - GTX 960M ), my question is: should I wait for the next generation? I don't know when it is coming or what it will bring.

    Thank you!

    Since it just came out, I think it'll be a long wait until the next generation

    A good question. Personally I'm looking forward to the next generation. Even though the only thing I really need would be slight chassis enhancements (especially regarding the hinge/display), and preferably a round power plug to make it fit universally with other power adapters. Regarding processing / gaming power however the current generation is already sufficient in most cases.

    Maybe with Skylake come a slight change, but we'll never know. And it's still some months until that date...

    Sorry for the late reply. I couldn't wait another year so I bought it and I'm loving it! Configuration in sig.
