Just wondering, what did you end up grabbing?

plus lit keyboard for working in the dark Most laptops come backlit these days, and dragging around that heavy thing with little to no battery life would suck. Save your money and get something you wouldn't mind lugging around between home and school.

Hi, I am actually a Dell vendor for a few different Best Buy locations in WA. That laptop is pretty nice as far as specs go, and will go pretty well for you, but the biggest issue I have with it is its lack of a 10-key. If you look at several of the HP models, which are of similar price, you will find the 10-key and nearly identical specifications (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-envy-x360-2-in-1-15-6-touch-screen-laptop-intel-core-i7-12gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive-hp-finish-in-natural-silver/5238400.p?id=bb5238400&skuId=5238400). Both of the two are still 2-in-1s, so you'll have the benefit of being able to fold the display all the way back. Also, if it is just for school, you will rarely see any benefit to the i7 lineup, compared to the i5 lineup. If you are looking to save money, you may want to look for an i5 model.

Currently pushing a NVIDIA GTX 970, and the extra push would be nice. I haven't had a Radeon card in quite a while, as I began having heat-related issues with them, but would be interested in trying them out again. I would be using the card, primarily, for game and software development, as well as some moderate to heavy gaming. By the way, I love the YouTube channel and learn a lot from watching. Thanks, Linus!
