Hello guys,

           I am looking for a good laptop to buy that is anywhere from $700- $900. I would like it to have enough battery to last for 6-8 hours. An i5 or good processor of the like would be appreciated, something that is fairly fast and will keep the laptop running well for a good amount of time. A selling point for me is that it can at least run cs:go well, and if it can play a game like Fallout: New Vegas at medium settings (if that's not possible in the price range to play a game such as New Vegas that's fine). I would like a webcam, one that is not a potato :D The screen should be 1080p, and it also should include a well performing built in mic. I'd like it to have a comfortable weight as well. Hope this is enough info. Btw: I prefer HP, ASUS, and MSI.

Agreed, it may not be HP (HORRENDOUS company IMO...), MSI or ASUS but by far it's the best bang for your buck laptop currently out there in that price range...linus made a review on that laptop which you can find here:

 

 

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

Ah shiet, I just remembered how the only ones with a SSD (not 8GB cache) is the 4k ones...which are almost 1k...
