I've been doing extensive research on a laptop for college and the TOSHIBA Satellite S55-A5276 has really caught my eye. It looks promising but I have barely been able to find any reviews on it. If anyone knows anything about it (battery life, build quality, etc.) I would love to hear some feedback. I am looking for a laptop that can handle games but is still portable and most importantly, around $750. Here's the link, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834216541 . Take a look and tell me what you think. Thank you
 
The computer itself seems okay, although you could get more for your money. As far as that Toshiba laptop goes for battery life, seeing as it's a 4 cell 43 Wh battery which cannot be replaced, I imagine it wouldn't be too last long seeing as it has to drive a 47 W TDP i7 4700MQ. Build quality according to the one newegg review of the machine suggests it is quite cheaply made.

If you're willing to fork out $80 more though, you could get the $830 Lenovo Ideapad Y410p under the current promotions, which has the same or better specifications in almost every regard, and a suggested five hour battery life. That might be worth looking into.

Thanks for the reply Lmeow. I was looking at the Y410p before and it looks good but I would really prefer a 15.6" screen. I was also looking at the Y510p which is $820, but I've heard that the battery doesn't last very long. Anyone know of anything else?
