budget laptop , need help choosing

[djkk16]

hey guys i am currently looking for a general purpose laptop for university needs such as programming and sometimes watching movies and stuff. As i have never bought a laptop before so i need help to choose a good enough laptop which fits in my budget . So far these two are the only laptops which fit in my budget.

-HP Notebook - 15-ac197nia (P4H62EA)
-Lenovo G5080 Laptop

Both have the same specs i.e
core i3 5th gen
4 gb ram
15.6 inch hd led
500gb hdd


other than that am also being offered a 2 year old dell inspiron 5520 which has the following specs

-core i5 3rd gen
-6 gb ram
- 500gb hdd
-15.6 inch hd led
- hd 7670m 1gb graphic card

Now i am more inclined towards the dell inspiron 5520 as it has a dedicated graphic card which means i can play fifa on the go and maybe even gta v on low. Now as its been in use of my friend for 2 years that makes me a bit skeptical as I dont want it to run into problems down the line. i hope to at least make it run 3-4 years till i change the laptop. Plus one of its stereo speakers is blown.

All three of these laptop am getting in the same price. What should i do ? and no other laptops new fits in my budget.

Issue with used laptops is that you need to know how it was treated. If it's in good shape, and passes stress tests (Prime95 and a video test like 3DMark), do a test on the hard drive for errors using a drive test utility from the drive vendor), it should be safe to get. Catch with those cheaper systems with video cards is that the video card can be a point of failure, but that's the trade off you have for better performance and cheaper price.
