Laptop for college & some gaming

[shorr8]

I've thought about it for a bit, and have decided to go with a laptop over a desktop because I don't have the time or interest in really maintaining a higher end gaming rig (I'm in no position to really be a "hardcore PC gamer"). I'd rather have the size and sleekness of a laptop and the portability for the times I travel or if I bring it to class.

I've found a couple on best buy and I have to get it there because its a college gift, I'm getting $500 to go towards it and they want to use best buy financing options, I'm paying for the remainder.

I'm interested in gaming, but not the ultra hardcore constantly getting all the new games kind. I'd like it to run very smoothly in all aspects of its use such as streaming spotify, iTunes, netflix, browsing, and hopefully being able to handle games like Skyrim & Oblivion, maybe battlefield 4, the fallout games, minecraft, titanfall (thats on PC right? lol), and some others.

Here are the (seemingly, tell me if I'm wrong) best ones I found.

HP - http/www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-envy-touchsmart-15-6-touch-screen-laptop-amd-a10-series-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive-natural-silver/3355239.p?id=1219091132802&skuId=3355239

ASUS - http/www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-15-6-touch-screen-laptop-intel-core-i5-8gb-memory-750gb-hard-drive-black/2991012.p?id=1219085428591&skuId=2991012

Dell - http/www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-inspiron-7000-series-15-6-touch-screen-laptop-intel-core-i7-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive-silver/1753377.p?id=1219062804178&skuId=1753377

HP - http/www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-envy-touchsmart-15-6-touch-screen-laptop-intel-core-i7-8gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive-natural-silver/3355257.p?id=1219091131692&skuId=3355257

Will any of these cut it? Should I invest for the higher ones or perhaps get one of the lesser ones and couple that with a PS4 for the higher up games like BF4 and whatever else may release seeing as this laptop isn't primarily a gaming machine (unless it can handle it).
I've heard some iffy things about HP reliability and the failure rates, but good things about Asus.

Any help and advice is greatly appreciated!

First order or business...order from amazon not bestbuy. Save yourself a hundred or few.

Any of those would do I guess. Im saying it here that you need a pretty high end PC to play BF4. I would go for a laptop with these specs if you want to do some gaming: 8gb RAM, i5 or i7, and dedicated graphics. Having dedicated graphics will do you huge favors.
Hope I helped.

If you need financing options, you'd do better to use Amazon's financing options, as they do offer a lot of them as well and it really opens up your horizons for laptops.l

Best Buy really doesn't carry great laptops and most of the ones they do have are overpriced. Out of that list I would say that the Q550LF would be the way to go out of those.

If you're able to get it financed through Amazon, I would suggest getting the Acer Aspire V7-482PG. It has great battery life, dedicated graphics, an incredibly high quality display, and would suit your needs perfectly.

Yeah, I only say Best Buy because its a grad gift from my uncle and grandfather whom I think want to finance it through Best Buy.

I'll browse around Amazon as well and maybe see if they'd be able to do it through them instead, because I definitely prefer shopping with Amazon.
