Hi,

I'm looking for a decent high- end laptop. Since I'm about to follow a IT study I want to get rid of my old laptop. Unfortunately my knowledge about the latest hardware is zero. Due the fact that I have the same laptop for ages I don't know which hardware is decent and which aren't decent.

I use the laptop mainly to develop so it is obvious that the laptop needs a good keyboard (prefered with backlit). Besides my study, I use the laptop to play the latest games, prefered on medium settings.. (Grand Theft Auto V | Saints Row IV | FIFA etc.). I also care about the design, whatsoever, that is a matter of taste. The budget range is Ђ0 - Ђ1.000

• SDD & HDD (only HDD is a bottleneck for decent hardware)
• Must be able to run latest games, prefered on medium settings.
• Must be able to run software as Photoshop properly.

I do NOT use the laptop for video editing.

I did a little re-search by myself and I find the Lenovo Y500 and the Samsung Series 9 come close to my requirements and budget. Can anyone recommend me a decent laptop with my requirements and within my budget range?

Thanks a lot!
