Quote:but the build quality seems to be good so can maybe last for 5-6 yearsNot even close . I say less than 2 years if you're into gaming
Why ? That laptop contains high performance CPU and GPU of a mid range gaming laptop -> High power consumption -> High temp (heat output) while its cooling unit is very pathetic (what would you expect from that small/thin form factor anyway ? It doesn't even have dual cooler)
Stock thermal compound is not made for gaming , it will die fast due to the heat output of CPU and GPU
If you're into gaming then stop looking at non-gaming laptop . Remember ! the heat output is your enemy

The best laptop for you in this case is the one that has Intel i7 4750HQ CPU + Intel HD 5200
Intel HD 5200 is the fastest integrated GPU atm . While it's as powerful as GT 650M , its power consumption is ultra low -> maintain small form factor of a laptop , super duper low heat output
