Sounds like you don't want it for gaming, but I just wanted to add that you won't be gaming at 4k with that GPU anyway.

I saw that laptop a while back and got the feeling that Lenovo just commissioned a company to make the lowest production cost 4k panel possible, just to have a 4k laptop.

I normally don't care about newegg reviews, but there were some common complaints about the screen, such as excessive backlight bleeding and discoloration. The refresh rate is also apparently locked at 48hz.

Plus there's the whole issue of 4k resolution on a 15" screen, and certain applications not scaling. One reviewer trying to use an Adobe program described it as "like trying to read text off an ant's back." I imagine it's nice and crisp text, but you'd have to get right up on it to be able to read.

Let me know how your panel looks when you get it.
