Price drop on this popular deal by US $41.

Including shipping, this comes out to around ~$885 using MasterCard rates for this amazing laptop.

Specs are:

15.6" FHD IPS Matte (Anti-Glare)(1920x1080)

6th Gen i5-6300HQ Quad Core, Note: This isn't a low voltage cpu, it will eat the i7-6500U for breakfast!

12GB DDR4 2133MHZ RAM, nice, some competing models are still using DDR3.

256GB PCIe SSD, nice, some competing models only have standard M2 or sata, PCIe allows for fastest possible speeds.

GTX 950M 4GB VRAM, unfortunately using DDR3, the DDR5 variant is much more ideal.

Intel AC 3165 Dual Band Wifi + Bluetooth 4.0

  That's really cheap, but no warranty.

  Specs look good. How well would this go as a gaming device ?

    Low-midrange. Mostly the graphics as the weak point. The CPU is mid-high range. Everything else is high range.

    A 960m would be solid mid range if not better, but I doubt you'd see one with a similar CPU under $1200-1400

      thanks - was hoping to use it for games like Overwatch which says it recommends a GTX660

    VRAM is DDR3 not DDR5. Read one of the reviews. If you not really gaming on it then that will not matter.

  When I click it, it's not the price the original offer says. Also, how do I do this referral link. I tried opening this in chrome on my phone with the app installed /shrugs.

  Crazy good price for those specs - only con is the loss of warranty.

  Also it looks like the $14USD discount has ended.

  warranty issues aside, would this be as good as the ideapad 700 (just with smaller screen)?

  Am i saving $400 for a smaller screen or is the ideapad 700 just better overall?

  Thanks OzBer's

    The bigger one would generally be a better one for office. Faster CPU, more RAM.

    This one better all rounder. Bigger faster SSD, better GPU, more compact and portable, cheaper, but only an i5 CPU compared to the i7.. I'd go for this one.
