    I ordered the y510p single 755m with 1080p about 2 days ago. I just learned about the new y50 and it sounds great because of the gtx 860m and how it's thinner. I don't know if I should cancel my order and buy the y50 or not. I'm on a tight budget and don't know if its really worth it to pay $150 dollars more and get the y50. Is there a huge difference in graphics?

    860M 4 GB kicks the daylights out of the 755M, in fact it beats out a 770M and 6990M Crossfire/580M SLI. It is the best performance high-mid ranged GPU out right now.

    If that wasn't clear enough, this should be: YES! Get it!
