So say a laptop is a i7 6500U that means is 6th Gen because of the "6"?

One last question dose a graphics card matter for a school laptop? i see some laptops with 940s in them compared to just stock graphics

Don't bother on a graphics card if you aren't gonna do any gaming anyway.

For most school tasks you won't need it unless you want some CUDA cores for simple renders.

However, i do recommend getting a laptop with at least an ok gpu like the 940. I'm sure there will be times you are at school just derping around doing nothing and then there's at least the option to just take your laptop and game a bit.

 

It probably won't be a great experience but when you are at school, being bored and doing nothing for whatever reason, just being able to play a game is a very nice thing.

I used the gpu in my laptop for school more than you might think

Don't bother with the 940m, a 960m is on par with a GT 1030...

Yes, an i7 6500U is a 6th generation i7.

 

Not really, if you want to game on it, then yes, but otherwise, unless you're doing stuff like 3d modeling, photo/video editing, etc... you'll be perfectly fine with integrated graphics.
