Need good laptop for college under $1300

[Nate Helms]

hello. So i am going to be going to college soon and i am trying to find a good laptop that i can carry around, so it has to be light, and to take notes on. I also want to be able to game on it during my spare time. Any good recommendations for a laptop that fits the bill? thank you so much.
