I'm really not sure if this is the correct place to post this abd I apologize if I'm mistaken. Anyways, ive been searching for a laptop to buy and stumbled upon this one:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-refurbished-envy-15-6-touch-screen-laptop-intel-core-i7-12gb-memory-1tb-hard-drive-natural-silver/4717400.p?id=1219808314723&skuId=4717400
and if youre not bothered to open the link:
HP Refurbished ENVY 15.6" Touch-Screen Laptop
Intel Core i7
12GB Memory (does this mean ram?)
1TB Hard Drive
Natural Silver

I'm a university student so im going to use the laptop for studying obviously, and im a mild pc gamer where i play a bunch of old games on pc like cod4, skyrim, ps2 emulators and so on.
Have i made a good choice or am i missing something?
 
That thing will not run Skyrim or COD4 past low settings well, even at low there may be some slowdowns. But if you want touch screen and a slim form with other things, you can't get a decent system for games at $600.

If you are OK with a standard system you can get one for near $600 that will run games better, something with a 940m or faster video card.
