as the title implies, I'm an engineering student and I am looking for a laptop that satisfies the following criteria

1.Must not exceed $550 US max
2. Battery life must be at least 7hrs +
3. Must be able to decently play League of Legends
4. Must be very portable

Look at the acer e series.

Most laptops with "u" model 5th generation Intel CPUs like the Core i5-5200u generally only gets at most 6 hours on typical usage (no gaming, and limited video watching). There are laptops capable of getting more than 6 hours of battery life, but they generally cost more than your budget. That is partially due to the fact they use more energy efficient components which adds to the cost.

I suppose velo3100 is referring to the Acer Aspire E5-573G-56RG (currently on sale for $500), but it is listed as only having 5 hours of battery life. Listed battery life is usually higher than actual battery life which can vary depending on how the laptop is used.
