Hi, I'm looking for a good laptop for school and a bit of gaming that's not too crazy expensive, between 700-900$ CAN would be best. I don't know a whole great deal about laptops so I guess that's why I came here? :$

Hey scotty 505 I don't know much about the models they make at your place but I can recommend some specs. You want a bit of a gaming too so I would say i5 4rth gen 2.4ghz combined with entry level nvidia gt820m. This configuration will run heavy games like GTA v and crysis 3 at medium texture quality and won't cost you much.

the 820m will not run GTA and Crysis at medium it will struggle at low to medium. For the price look for a 940m-960m-850m-860m anything more would be amazing. for processors try and get a quad core intel most I5's aren't more then duels for laptops.

I recommend lenovo. I have a lenovo thinkpad but i know lenovo enough to know that they have great computers.
I recommend that you take a look at the Z51 and Z41 laptops, also take a look at the Y 40-80 gaming laptop. Choose the best configuration possible for each laptop that fits your budget.
