Best laptop at $700

Greetings!

I have a friend who lives here at my boarding school in Denmark, where electronic prices are quite expensive - he comes from The States and is in need of a new laptop, which his father could bring him once he comes visiting here in Denmark soon, and as I know nothing about prices and hardware in The States, perhaps you guys could help me?

He needs a laptop for school, so around 15", not too heavy, is able to run World of Warcraft and Leagues of Legends at a proper framerate. Perhaps even BF3?

Anyway, I was also thinking something like i5 or i7 sandy-bride, 6GB of ram and something like GT 550M perhaps, is that possible at a pricepoint of $700? perhaps MAX $800

Hello Sebz4n;

You're thinking is taking you in the right direction. GT 555M or Radeon HD 6770M.
You probably won't find a i7 CPU in your price range but a i3/i5 CPU should fit into the budget. BF3 at low graphics settings, WoW/LoL at high.

Lenovo IdeaPad Y570 15.6-inch "Sandy Bridge" Laptop $669
Core i3-2330M 2.2Ghz CPU, 4 GB RAM, 500GB HDD 15.6" 1366x768 LCD w/ GT 555M graphics.

I have been looking at this, as I have good experience with ASUS:

They have international warrenty right? So he can have it repaired here in DK

I am not sure I would recommend HP though, everybody I know, and the one I had, has made me never want to buy an HP ever again! Too many heat problems and *** like that

What do you mean?

What is the difference between http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] a862f25a85 and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6834230132 ? Other than $100?

The HP is indeed a good deal, I just don't know if I wanna be the one recommending an HP, seeing as I would never buy one on my own
