Would you say the w230ss is still good a good buy for 500usd in 2018?
My last machine was an aw 13 r3 with gtx1080 which I sold due to it's deceptively large footprint and high CPU issues exceeding 100%.
I know this system is a downgrade but it's nearly 1/3 the cost of my previous system plus despite both having 13" displays, the depth is significantly shorter. In fact, the aw was taller than most standard 15" systems.
I once owned the w230st with the 960m and had issues with trackpad issue. Sometimes one half of it would get unresponsive.
I've also heard the 860m can be overclocked safely to performance on par with a 970m.

 

You might be better off if you can find a machine with the Intel + Vega chip or the new Ryzen APUs in.
