    Hi guys, I am trying to buy a new light/gaming laptop before going back to college.
    I have been looking at many laptops such as Lenovo Y50, Gigabyte P34Gv2-CF4, Asus N550JK, etc.
    Then I came across ZEUSBOOK EDGE X6 100. I have never used or purchased from CyberpowerPC, but the laptop config and the price seems pretty good.
    The config I have made is:

    BATTERY: Li-Polymer, 11.1V, 75.81Wh
    BLUETOOTH: Built-in Bluetooth
    CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4710HQ Mobile Processor 2.50 GHz 6M Smart Cache, Max Turbo Freq. 3.50 GHz
    DOCKINGSTATION: None
    FLASHMEDIA: Built-In 4in1 Media Reader
    HDD: 1 TB 7200RPM SATA300 Hard Drive
    KEYBOARD: Full-sized Auto-Adjusting Backlit Keyboard
    MEMORY: 8GB (8GBx1) DDR3-1866 SODIMM Memory [+14] (G.SKILL)
    MOTHERBOARD: Mobile Intel HM87 Express Chipset Mainboard
    NOTEBOOK: CYBERPOWERPC Zeusbook Edge X6 15.6" 1920x1080 LED-Backlit IPS Panel w/ White backlit keyboard, Built-in HD webcam, HDMI Port, Li-Ion Battery &
    OS: None - FORMAT HARD DRIVE ONLY [-60]
    SERVICE: STANDARD 1-YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY AND LIFE-TIME TECHNICAL SUPPORT
    SOUND: Dolby® Digital Plus™ Home Theater
    USB: Built-in 2x USB3.0 Ports + 2x USB2.0 Ports
    VIDEO: NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 870M 6GB GDDR5 (NB-ZEUS-101)
    WNC: 5th Generation Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260HMW 802.11AC, 867Mbps+300Mbps Wi-Fi + BT 4.0, Mini PCI-E combo [+32]

    This all comes down to $1,315.75 free shipping/ no tax. And I was gonna buy separate 256 GB SSD and extra 8GB DDR3-1866 Memory card for extra $200 and install. (There is an open spot for to put in extra SSD).

    I think it is pretty good but do not wanna rush into buying the laptop.
    I have a budget of ~$1500 and am willing to wait a bit if there are any good laptops that are coming out soon for around that price.
    What do you guys think I should do? What do you guys think about this laptop/price? How do Lenovo Y50, Gigabyte P34Gv2-CF4, Asus N550JK compare?
    P.S. I prefer long battery life, good build quality (last 3 years at least) and good keyboard (programmer) and I will be using the laptop for class as well as gaming.

    Zeusbook.... Dota 2 much (or... greek mythology, I guess). Anyways, I'd be sold on a laptop model with that name. Or even a Necrobook one :D Or even Naix-top :D :D
