Laptop under $1,000,

[zlolslavez]

My brother is currently looking for a laptop around $1,000 plus any storage upgrades (if it has a shitty 5400 RPM I'll upgrade to an SSD for him)

to do college work, as well as some medium gaming. (He doesn't really give 2 shits about graphics settings, and doesn't play demanding games but might as well get his money's worth. He wants a touch screen on it. He is currently eyeing a http://www.amazon.com/N550JK-DS71T-16-Inch-Touchscreen-i7-4700HQ-Windows/dp/B00IAA5BSS/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1423495567&sr=1-1&keywords=n550jk with a WD Black 2 SSD+HDD. Would there be any better options at this price point?

My friend at school has something that. It should be fine.

 

Does the Black2 come in 2.5" Form Factor?

Decent buy for that money

The Black² ONLY comes in a 2.5" form factor.

 

OP, double check if it can handle the 9mm drive form though.

Would be a good choice, not touch screen though.

 

( You will probably never use the touch screen anyway )

I would suggest Lenovo IdeaPad U310 and DELL INSPIRON 15.6-INCH LAPTOP..
