Are these any sort of a "good deal" ?

Need a laptop, video playback, minecraft (for GF because her laptop can't run it and we've wanted to play over LAN forever) light editing in premiere while I'm out of town away from my PC, only to put a video together, no rendering or exporting. Viewing spread sheets in chrome and a LOT of google drive use (I know that's not demanding).

They all seem pretty good but a bit expensive for the performance. I'm not trying to sound fishy or whatever but I could sell you my Asus X551 for like 200$ on eBay. I'm about to list it up there since I need money for a GPU and other shit. Of course you don't have to buy it though lol. But an Asus X551 would be a good option on a better budget. You could get a new/refurbished one around $300

My ~$200 USD build:

AMD A8-7600    G. Skill Ripjaws Z @1800 CAS 8     EVGA 500w 80+ PSU    Gigabyte GAF2A68HM-DS2H Motherboard
