Deciding on a new laptop

[trevormoon]

Hello guys and gals I'm trying to find a laptop for under $650. I've been looking and researching for a few days now still can't make a decision on what to buy. I currently have 3 that I'm interested in, but will gladly take suggestions for other options. The laptop will be used for school and while I don't plan on playing games a dedicated GPU is always a plus. These are the 3 I'm currently looking at.

That HP Pavilion has some really nice specs. While I typically don't like HP, that's model looks really good for the price.

If you don't need the dGPU, don't get it. The HD 530 integrated graphics is actually quite powerful, you can do light games on the IGPU without a problem.
