Hi, I am going through my first week of college and I am going to require a laptop for some of my classes. My budget is around 800-1000$ I would really like one that has very good cooling. Have an ssd to run my apps but also at least a 1tb harddrive. A 15 inch screen. A pretty good battery life. At least an I5 with 16 GB of ram. Since I would like to play games I would prefer something like a 1050
graphics card.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Lazyboy10 : "Good laptop for college and gaming for under a 1000$"







Gaming laptop and 6-8hours of battery life is almost impossible. 4 hours is more about what you can expect.

16gb of ram is an issue since most laptops that have 16gb of ram are quite a bit higher priced since they assume you don't need 16gb of ram when you "just" get a gtx 1050ti and i5. Best you can do is get an extra stick of ram.

Other than the one you found there really isn't another laptop (except the next gen version of the one you listed) that fit in you budget and do most of the things you want.
