Best laptop under 825?

[djay62]

Have been looking for a solid laptop under 825. I already have a solid desktop built, but I'm starting college soon and most of the games I've been playing recently (WoW/FFXIV, Divinity, old game emulations) aren't the most power hungry anyway.

Is what I've been looking at. If anyone knows of some better deal or something though I'm all ears, haven't purchased anything yet. Thanks!

If you don't mind carrying it around, yes.

What major, however.

Going in for Computer Science. Actually didn't notice the weight till you pointed that out. Not sure how much that will bother me.

5.67 pounds is pretty heavy in my opinion.

Since is WoW and Dolphin and PPSSPP, I think it's possible to get away with some weaker GPU. Perhaps this? Programming probably wants more than 2 cores.
