Hey guys,
I'm not too familiar with laptops and I need some help purchasing one.

Currently, I have no budget but I would like to spend around $700.
I would like a fairly sized laptop that includes a numpad. 15.7 inch screen would be a good size. For screen resolution, 1280x720 or 1600x900 would be good. I need a powerful laptop that has amazing battery life. This laptop will be used for both college and gaming so I need a laptop that can handle heavy loads and last a couple hours without being plugged into a wall. The games I probably will be playing are League of Legends, Left 4 Dead 2, Super Hexagon, Elsword, Minecraft, and Cube World. I would like at least 500GB of HHD memory. SSDs aren't necessary but would be nice to have. I would like this laptop to also last me a fairly long time. Around 4 years. A standard CD/DVD combo drive is a necessity. Also, I prefer to buy Asus and Acer computer because of their well-known reputation and durability.

Thanks guys for the help!
