$500-$700 Gaming Laptop

[KiernanCraft]

Hey I was wondering if anyone could link me to a modern medium-high gaming laptop between the price range of $500 and $700. I prefer windows 7 however windows 8 is fine. And I would like to be able to play minecraft, bf3, bo2, indie games, and tf2. I would like High performance on all except bf3, medium settings with high fps if possible. Thank you all so much for reading - Kiernan

Here is what i found:

Lenovo IdeaPad P500 Touch $699.99
Intel Core 3rd gen i5 (2.6GHz (with Turbo Boost up to 3.2GHz)
15.6" display
6GB of ram, can go to 8gb
Intel HD Graphics 4000
1TD Hard drive
1x USB 3.0, 2x USB 2.0
Windows 8

Samsung ATIV Book 4 $699.99
Intel 3rd gen i7 (2.0GHz (with Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz)
15.6" display
8GB of ram
Intel HD Graphics 4000
750GB Hard Drive
1x USB 3.0, 2x USB 2.0
Windows 8

I would personally go for the Samsung bc the Lenovo has a touch screen. The Samsung is also an entire pound lighter.
