    Looking to buy a laptop for College/Casual Gaming.

    I would look into these two, same thing as each other just different size/weight, and these do have optical drives. I am not a big tech guy so you may want to talk to others about which processor you want, but the nice thing about these two is almost everything is customizable, graphics, CPU...
