Laptop for college

[Lmagichd]

Basically im looking for a new laptop to use when i start college in a little over a month.

 

I plan on buying a laptop in the $500-$800 range

 

I will use this computer strictly academic purposes (wont game on it) and the daily surfing the net (netflix, youtube, reddit, ect...)

 

Do you guys have any recommendations for a laptop that is a good deal and can withstand the daily use of a college freshman

 

Bonus: would prefer if it would be on the lighter side as i will carry with me 99% of the time

Uhm. I could of sword I commented on this. I dunno if you made a new post but I would say the first model of the Lenovo Y40 labtop. Its a great all around labtop!
