Looking for a reliable laptop that isn't known to have a short life span. I want to use this for school mainly, to be portable in case I decide to go to the library to study or travel for the weekend, etc. I'd love to be able to game on it, too. Nothing too fancy. I'm not expecting to run ultra or max settings, but I'd like for the gaming to look smooth. Then again, I have a desktop and gaming isn't a priority with this laptop.
