I would look at this in hindsight:http://www.laptopdirect.co.za/Asus-NB-AG551J-i71-lp-108496.php
It is in the same price range but is a much better laptop overall except that the GPU is Kepler but I would take the 5% GPU performance drop for the overall improvement in just about every other aspect.

They'll be available locally quite soon. I'll update details as I know them. But really if you're investing in a gaming notebook now you should be looking for something with GTX9xx. It's a significant update on the 8 series and it's moving into the pipeline as we speak. I'd really advise waiting for that to trickle to the channels before purchasing or you'll be a few weeks short of a 'free' upgrade.
Ok so i couldn't delay any longer and it was a tough decision between the two, Y5070 and the MSi Ghost.
But i took the Bigger and better screen

Gonna be used for work mostly since i have my gaming rig at home.

Prices are coming down. shared from my takealot app - Check this out on takealot, http://takealot.com/og/v1/PLID32852312 R11600
Whizzy 2200 mAh Power Bank (Pink) ??? The link isn't working (on PC)
I think you're referring to this: http://www.takealot.com/lenovo-ideapad-y5070-15-6-inch-intel-core-i7-laptop-black/PLID32846095
I think they might be gearing for a new release.
Confirmed: http://vr-zone.com/articles/lenovo-...-month-nvidia-gtx-960m-ips-display/86850.html
New GTX960 and new IPS screen! If it is sold at the same price, there will be no laptop in its league up to R20k!

Sorry for reviving this thread, the IPS version has landed.
http://www.wootware.co.za/lenovo-id...dows-8-1-single-language-64-bit-notebook.html @ R14.5k
Anyone care to comment? Friend needs a new laptop and the amount of graphics memory and the i7 make it a attractive choice considering its price. Using the laptop for architecture, I recommended she take the RAM upgrade deal.
Any other options available?
Thanks

I am super sad right now, laptop landed just over a month after I bought the y5070 from Takealot, would have rather taken the new one
I informed takealot about the new laptop that landed. About 2 weeks ago before the payday promo there were 13 units available all sold out in 2 weeks.. Already wootware had the nee one listed on their website
I think it's worth the money. The only downside is the HDD. Some people say it's a bit slow. But, it can be upgraded to an SSD.
The previous model had a bad screen and HDD. They fixed the screen, now it's just the HDD. If they get a better HDD or SSD then it's the best laptop for anyone on a budget.
Yeah, please someone

Google is your friend. There is already a few reviews out there in detail with regards to IPS
Looking for local reviews from someone here on the forum...
From several reviews , Y50's CPU seems inferior compared to others.
Has anyone benchmarked it yet ?
Please post the links of these reviews? That's concerning...
All the reviews I've seen focuses more on the HDD and screen than anything else. The CPU, as far as I understand, is the same i7 found in most gaming laptops in the price range.
