I want a laptop that has enough space for the Microsoft programs, the engineering AutoCAD systems(2-3), downloading movies. I also want the laptop to be able to run Black Ops 2 and lower video games. I am not a hardcore gamer, I just want decent gameplay for when I do play.

Go with either Lenovo and you should be fine. I got an Acer here that's been kind of a nightmare...will never buy from them again. But you might have better luck, and if you want to try: the Acer got a dedicated graphics card, nothing to be real excited about but better than nothing. The Lenovo's got better processors, and with that better integrated graphics (intel hd 4600 instead of the more common 4400) that should meet your needs. Also listed a Dell and an HP just in case.

Thanks Felipe259. I am geared towards the Dell and both the Lenovo's. Do you know the differences in the processors of those three?

The Dell's i5-4210U Processor is designed to favor battery life over performance (that's the U after the name) and got the integrated HD graphics 4400. The processors themselves won't present that much difference between them.

The biggest difference between the Dell and the Lenovos is going to be that integrated graphics, the 4400 can barely handle the newer games on low settings. Your gaming experience is going to be better with the 4600, you can expect ~30-40% more fps with it and may be able to even hit medium settings.
