I was looking for a laptop with a FHD screen for under $700.
My uses for it are for watching anime and playing visual novels which do not require a discrete iGPU and I will occasionally do personal photoshop use.
It's essentially sedentary so the weight and the 4-cell battery is not a deal breaker for me.
I found the following through my corporate perks discount.
Lenovo Z50
Processor Intel Core i7-4510U Processor
Operating system Windows 8.1 64
Graphics Intel® HD Graphics 4400
Memory 4.0GB PC3-12800 DDR3L SDRAM 1600 MHz
Display 15.6" FHD LED AntiGlare (1920x1080)
Hard Drive Hybrid 500GB 5400 RPM+8GB SSHD
Optical Drive DVD Recordable (Dual Layer)
Battery 4 Cell 32 Watt Hour Lithium-Ion
Bluetooth Bluetooth Version 4.0
Total is $579 + 6.5% tax - 10% CB from Discover
I'm in the dark regarding Lenovo screen quality and build quality.
