Outstanding quality, performance, and reliability.

After the recent death of my former craptop, I set out in search of a new PC, one that would last a very long time. A relative of mine bought the Lenovo y50 about a year ago, and had nothing but good things to say about it. Now that I too own a Lenovo PC, I can confirm that this is one amazing machine. I don't use this for gaming, but it still displays its performance well.
Pros:
The screen looks great, and comes with an anti-glare protector installed. It can be removed if you prefer the more glossy look.

The speakers are very loud, and considering their size, are very high quality.
Even with the amount of hardware that has been packed into this thing, it has a rather thin body.
The brushed finish has a very nice metallic appearance, however it's plastic.
Temperature is kept very comfortable thanks to the dual exhaust fans.
The external disk drive that is included in the purchase acts just like a normal drive; no need to install any extra software for it to work.
_____
Cons:
The battery life is okay, but I feel like its primary purpose is to keep a bit of backup power if you're somewhere you cant plug in, not to sustain for a long time.

The body, both inside and out, is a fingerprint magnet, but a microfiber cloth does the job.

All in all, this is an excellent laptop and should not be overlooked. The combination of the new Intel i7 Skylake and the GTX 960 provide high performance under rigorous conditions, and the device's build creates a very sturdy feel.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Does this come with m-SATA SSD too or just the HDD?
Im seing reviews online and most of them have a 128GB m-SATA SSD and 1TB HDD
This model comes only with the HDD. Best Buy does have some other listings with and SSD.
