Hi forum! Looking for a laptop. Ideally for school work but also for occasional gaming(overwatch). Not looking for anything amazing but I'm looking for the best bang for my buck . Budget of 700$. So far I think 

goo.gl/sFt0I0 is the best but any links or suggestions would be great! Have a great day everyone :D It's my Birthday btw xD

You may want to stretch to something like the Dell 7559. It's 799$ but should be a good value option. A 960m is what you need.

HAPPY BURFDAY! I guess you'd be looking for something with a 960m. Something like a https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015PYYDMQ/

 

$20 cheaper than the above suggestion. You might be able to find a 950m model for less.

That's the best value option available.

If you used Microsoft Rewards (formerly Bing rewards) you could get something like $100 or more free every year on Amazon. I used it recently to pick up a replacement mouse, which has yet to ship.

Yeah go for a 960m based laptop unless you're looking for an ultrabook. 7559 is a solid option (but it is almost 6 lbs / 2.5 kg). Happy birthday!
