Im currently looking to get a pc for college. I will be coding, word processing, and other tasks that arent all too heavy.

Currently looking to buy HP TouchSmart Sleekbook because of a sale along with my mother's employee discount that makes this config land a little under $500.

If you can find a better system for around the same price (not much over $500), please let me know! PS: touchscreens are nice but not necessary. Solid battery life is a plus. Gaming performance would also be nice, but is of least importance.

AMD A8 4555m APU w/ Radeon HD 7600g
1366 x 768 touchscreen
750gb 7200rpm hdd
6gb ddr3-1333 ram
Full keyboard w/ numpad (soft press)
2 usb 3.0, 1 usb 2.0, hdmi, ethernet, card reader, webcam
plastic, glossy case
6 hrs battery
windows 8

Sorry no link at the moment as im not writing this from my pc.
