I went ahead and got a lenovo y70 for 1500$, managed to talk best buy down to 1000$ I really enjoy the laptop. Especially the 17.5 inch HD touchscreen for when im in crammed spaces and can't use a mouse, along with the dope ass glowing red keyboard on it. My only current complaint is the trackpad is total ass. Thats the one thing apple hit outta the park, their trackpads. Thanks guys.
