So I need a new laptop for college that is under $600 or $700. Thin and lightweight is of course preferred, but I'm used to heavy and big laptops, so not a big deal for me. Large battery. A decent CPU and SSD is preferred. I also like Windows 10. A really note worthy thing I want is a way to play games on it if I get bored. Nothing to fancy, just like Overwatch or SWTOR. 1080p is recommended resolution. I know there aren't many gaming laptops for under $700, but if anyone could find me one it would be much appreciated.
Maybe a good laptop for coders as well.
Is that all the info you need?
 
Solution
This is one of the better balanced systems, for near $700 https://www.amazon.com/Dell-15-6-Inch-Quad-Core-i5-6300HQ-Processor/dp/B015PYYDMQ If you can go up to $800 you will open up to newer video cards like https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-Gaming-GeForce-VX5-591G-5652/dp/B01N11JKA3/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_147_tr_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=D4EF6PBB9P6Z66JXDH52

This is OK also but lower speed hard drive and battery life is only listed as 2+ hours http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np5855-clevo-n855hj.html
