Hey, everyone! I'm looking for a laptop with around a $1200 budget.
Some information about preferred requirements.
-1080p resolution
-i7 processor
-15.6" or less screen, 17.3" only if that's a more optimal option.
-4-6+ hour battery life and/or ability to pop in an extended battery
-Able to play games up to Dark Souls 2 on medium settings at least.
-Will last at least 4 years
Main reason I ask is I am going into college for game development & simulation on top of how my schedule is set up to where I will have an hour between classes and going home would be pointless. I would like to be able to play a game while waiting when I don't have much to do and for the luxury of having a laptop for when I'm out of town and nothing is going on.
Any and all recommendations are appreciated and if one or a few of my preferences have to be sacrificed, that is ok.
