Looking for a laptop (~$800)

[FlamingOnion_1]

So im looking for a laptop but i'm kind of stuck with reviews and specs and stuff. My budget is $880 dollars including tax but might be able to flex it a little bit. I'm looking for a low profile gaming laptop that i can use for school work but also some casual gaming here and there.I would prefer to have a 1050+ and a 1tb hdd is a must but an extra bit of ssd space would be amazing. If you want games that I would probably play on it then I play rocket league, csgo, and maybe some pubg. and i want it around median settings. I have been looking myself but I'm always mixed between a few like some acer laptops like the aspire 7's and the nitro 5 spin. I have seen a few with some pretty good specs but they are laptops that just spell out gaming if you know what i mean. Any help would be appreciated as I do not understand laptops as much as PCs.

 

List of what i want/prefer shortened~~~~

1.1tb hdd is a must but extra ssd space would be very nice

2.prefer a 1050 gpu or equivalent but would really only go higher

3. a decent battery life so I can focus on the student side of the laptop

4.low profile, nothing that screams out gaming and that i can bring to class or a nice place to do homework or something

5.a touchscreen would be nice but the only laptop I have found close to what i want with a touchscreen is the nitro 5 spin

6.good cooling and don't have to worry about it exploding from the heat

7.generally good reviews because i have seen some nice laptops but the reviews change my mind

8.($700-$900 with tax included)

 

I don't expect the "perfect laptop" within my price range, but as long as it has the basic idea of what i want then i should be good.

also if you need anymore information just let me know in the comments.

I doubt that there be any laptop with GTX 1050 GPU for that price tbh.

Also that touchscreen. In germany we pay like 1200 Euro for that hardware.

i have seen laptops in the $600 range sold by newegg, bestbuy, or amazon with a 1050 in it. I don't know what to say about the touchscreen though but typically you don't see too many "gaming laptops" with a touchscreen so i'm not really expecting anything to come out of it.

The starting price in germany for the cheapest laptop with a GTX 1050 is 849 Euro / 993 USD.

I guess you can help better than.

that's a 1050 ti though. i would say there are a few 1050 ti laptops in my price range but very few. a standard 1050 is cheaper than a 1050 ti so we must have just not been on the same page.

Dell G5/G7, that is if dont mind the entry level IPS FHD panel.. But it has good cooling, decent battery life for a gaming laptop. 

 

I think this would be the best option for you.

i can't give you an exact because i don't know much about laptops but i have been seeing some at 6ish. I just don't want anything that can be considered bad.

Most gaming laptops have poor battery life

Im just talking about bad for a gaming laptop. I know they drain really fast but im assuming there are gaming laptops with better or worst battery life
