Quality Student Laptop Suggestions

[Lee Morrow]

I am searching for a new laptop for school next year, but I have been having a lot of trouble finding a hi h rated laptop with the specs I'm interested in that is of good strong build quality and at a reasonable price. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Cpu: quad core i5
Graphics: Intel integrated 4000 series
Ram: 8gb
Storage: 7200 rpm, 1TB. (I'm not sure a ssd isreally necessary or in my budget range)
At least six hours of battery life

I'm looking at a 700-800 dollar max on my budget

Thanks in advance!

I think the lenevo u530 is a good fit for you.

Hey thanks for replying! That does look like a good fit....although I'd prefer Intel integrated 4600 and a 7200 rpm hard drive. I'm trying to get as much gpu power as I can without dedicated graphics.

Round two: fight! I found one that meets all requirement expect better life. Let me know what you think.

MSI GP Series GP60 Leopard-836 Gaming Laptop Intel Core i5 4210H (2.90GHz) 8GB Memory 1TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce 940M 2GB 15.6" Windows 8.1 64-bit , http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=34-152-745

Hey that's does! only problem remaining is the 940 Would probably cut into the battery life a ton wouldn't it? That's why I was trying to keep to Intel integrated D:

It should have Nvidia Optimus to save battery so it can switch between integrated and discrete for that purpose.

Looks like there won't be a round three then haha. Thanks!
