Hey guys!

I'm going to make this as quick as possible, so here's my concern:

I'm an average college student, and I use most of my time web browsing and writing essays/multitasking on my computer. However, I enjoy having the ability to play games (like oh, I don't know, Guild Wars 2) from time to time. I'm looking for a laptop that is affordable, will multitask seamlessly, and will be able to handle the MMORPG games that I enjoy. Preferably, I would love this within a laptop with of a nice build quality, and one that is not too bulky for transportation (don't we all?). Here are two examples that I have found so far, and they may just be my only options (given my search criteria):

http://www.amazon.com/K501UX-15-inch-Gaming-Processor-Windows/dp/B0146DD02G/ref=sr_1_7?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1449955058&sr=1-7&keywords=gaming+laptop#Ask

http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-i7559-763BLK-Full-HD-GeForce/dp/B015PYYDMQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1449968724&sr=8-1&keywords=dell+7000

Their price points are what attract me the most. I have an older Macbook Pro, and it most certianly won't handle most MMORPGs..it can also be quite slow when multitasking. So, I plan on selling it and using that money toward a laptop around $700-$800. I just wanted to see if you guys had any comments/other suggestions.

Sorry, I know this was supposed to be short..
 
What settings do you play these games? Also how long does the battery life have to be? Finally what do you determine to be light?
