I didn't know Lenovo was such a bad brand but I got a Lenovo Edge 15 this past October and so far this laptop has been good. i7-4510U, 8Gigs of RAM, 840M. It isn't for gaming, but it can handle it. The build quality is great. I like the keyboard. The trackpad was meh. The only problems were that the speakers are under it rather than above the keyboard and it came with some features I didn't care for(screen rotates backwards and it's touchscreen). I got it for $500 bucks from a friend.
