I own and use HP, Lenovo and many other brands. For business (and study) purposes I always lean toward the Lenovo models. If you pack the GT240M in one of the Y450 configuration, the Lenovo is a better choice, over the HP. cheers ...

This results in more power being used, but at least it stops the flickering. Merry Christmas guys!
