Ignore that first guy, this laptop definitely does exist. I understand the need for a laptop also and I am looking for a good one also. If you look at newegg, they have some insane deals right now. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834315423&cm_re=950m-_-34-315-423-_-Product That laptop has the GTX 950m with 2 gigs of gddr5, 8gb of memory, 1 tb of storage, a 128 gig ssd, and an i5-6200u. IT is only $589!!. Also, if you want to go  cheaper, there is another good one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834315535&cm_re=940m-_-34-315-535-_-Product This laptop has the gt 940m with 2 gigs of i think gddr3, 8 gigs of memory, and 1 tb of storage. The only drawback is the screen is 720p at 1366x768. With these cards, you can run gta 5 at medium-high setting at a solid 45 FPS, and if you don't believe me, look up youtube video benchmarks.

Hi,

 

I am looking for a laptop that I can use for some light gaming and mainly for programming on the go(College assignments mostly). I would like to have one that has pretty good processing power but can also be used for gaming. 

 

Thanks in advance

Right now there is also a deal on a great MSI laptop for $699 with an i5-6300hq, 960m 2gb, 8 gigs of ram, and 1tb of storage. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834154112&cm_re=960m-_-34-154-112-_-Product This might be a little out of your price range though,

 

Oops, i didn't see the other guy that posted this same one.

This laptop would be good for games on low settings, and should be fine with assignments.
