$700 Laptop Reccomendation

Raginryuu

Hi ALL!!

So I am looking for a laptop at MOST $725. No more than that. I will be using this for college and low end gaming. I prefer a 15 inch laptop or smaller. I'm hoping something to last me 4 years of college (of course more is longer is better). I'd prefer a Nvidia graphics card, and either i5 or i7. Below are a few laptops I've seen, but I am up most open for any recommendation and thoughts. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!!

 

ACER Asprie 7 ($719.99)

Lenovo IdeaPad 520 ($699.99)

HP Pavilion ($629.99)

HP OMEN ($679.99)

Dell 15 5000($699.99)

Wait for Raven Ridge laptops most likely.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

the omen would be best for the light gaming and at its black Friday price, it's a hard bargain to beat. The i7 also appears to be a better end i7 than the i57300 this on many of the other end laptops. I personally would go with the omen if you can get it for that price. the con I see is no SSD at that price but it does appear to be able to come with an m.2 SATA slot for an SSD down the road.

Acer Aspire 7 runs a bit hot, well-built, professional look
Lenovo Ideapad 500 has Okish build quality, entry level IPS panel and short battery life
HP Pavilion has mediocre build quality, same goes to the old HP Omen
Inspiron 5000 Gaming has a bad TN panel and OKish input devices, well-built
