Is This A Good Laptop For Gaming & School

[Yazeth]

I'm not too much of a tech person, so I need some opinions. Is this a good laptop for both college work and gaming?

 

Here's the link to the laptop: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/msi-15-6-laptop-intel-core-i5-8gb-memory-750gb-hard-drive-gray/5661041.p?id=1219146761966&skuId=5661041&st=categoryid$abcat0502000&cp=1&lp=10

 

Thanks.

Also, avoid Best Buy, Walmart, Target/Etc like the plague.

 

You want to get a laptop from Newegg (Tigerdirect and Amazon are okay too, but I really like Newegg because they have fantastic support and pretty awesome prices; keep an eye on the shell shocker and/or daily deals and you might find a great laptop at 30~40% off).

 

Good tip. I'll keep that in mind.

I use a lenovo x230T for school and games. I run Warframe on 1366x768 with high texture and low effects.

It's very durable, convenient with a finger print scanner, and is still relatively high powered. That being said, the money I paid for this laptop can be used to build a very high end gaming PC.

No.

You've obviously never seen my laptop.
