best laptop for $500-$800

[mkranjan]

I am a programmer and looking for fast & durable laptop so that I can run basic server and database and few more application simultaneously.

Good to have SSD and atleast 8GB RAM. Also I should be able to extend the RAM in future if required.

Please suggest me the best in my range ($500-$800) or max $1000

There is also this one for a bit less https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Ideapad-700-GeForce-80RU00FEUS/dp/B01FJFN872/ref=sr_1_6?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1475006413&sr=1-6&refinements=p_n_feature_four_browse-bin%3A2289793011

You would want a real quad core CPU in the laptops, which is whey they are on the higher end of prices.

For this price I would look for a i7 quad core cpu if you can. They gpu doesn't matter. For this price asus n series are normally good,
