Gaming/Programming Laptop Around $800

[yoyoman1212]

Hello! I'm hoping to get a new laptop, as my current one is very very bad. Size is no matter, as I currently use a 17" laptop. I plan to game on it (Mostly TF2, terraria, Minecraft, Borderlands 2) and do some programming. I'm used to playing games like Borderlands and Skyrim on crappy graphics, so I don't need to have it running on ultra. My budget is around $800. The laptop doesn't have to be classified as a "gaming" laptop. I would buy a desktop, but I need a portable computer.

**I live in canada, so I need them to be from canadian websites, and in CAD**

If you have any questions, please ask away!

Thank you!

These two are slightly above 800 bucks. They are the two im currently looking at and having hard time choosing between the two.

Wish I could just cough up the extra money for the i7 vers of the Y50 but 900 is already higher then I wanted to go.
Tough choice, but I think ill end up going with the i5 y50, iv been told its a better around machine then the apache. the i7 on th eapche is the only thing that makes me want to go that way
