Looking for New Laptop, not gaming focused

[gamerschmamer]

I need a new laptop.

Budget: Under $800, preferably lower -> around $500 would be great

Prefer: 1080p resolution, 17" (if possible), weight doesn't matter I am a big guy, integrated graphics if necessary

*edit: Non-touch screen. Call me old fashioned but I like the feel of a mouse.

I will not game on this laptop except for League of Legends at most, so not gaming focused. I do watch Netflix and need to Word process a lot. I have a beastly desktop, just need a little help on finding a suitable laptop.

I have been looking around and just cannot pull the trigger, so I thought I would take suggestions.

Thanks for your help.

Do you want touchscreen?

Man, personally, buying off of Ebay is a bad idea

Thanks for the responses. I am looking for 1080p for the screen resolution. I have found a good deal at Lenovo but have heard bad things about their screens.

So if it is a touchscreen, my friend actually has one and it is very good, as long as you dont drop it of course. But as for a non touchscreen monitor I have seen their laptops before and they seem pretty decent quality, I would try doing a little research on the response times and lumens
