Let's be honest: if I buy a laptop, I'm not only gonna use it for college work.
I want one that works great, has great reviews, has at least 6GB RAM, 500GB of storage, and is under $800.
Gaming wise: it should at least run Minecraft or Runescape.
College wise: Microsoft Office and Windows 8 is a must have, do to the fact some teachers may require a PowerPoint or word document at some point in time. Please include the full model name and possibly a website
What's a good gaming/college laptop?
I found this laptop on newegg.
1Terabyte hdd
A10 apu w/ 8650 (will play minecraft and runescape flawlessly)
6gb ram
Only $529
With the extra money left over buying microsoft office shouldnt be a problem
Better yet your university might give out office keys for free. I go to FIU and they gave students one free copy.
Consider Acer Aspire V5-573G-9491 15.6" Laptop

It's got Intel Core i7 processor, 6GB RAM, 500GB hard drive, NVIDIA GeForce GT 720M and Windows 8. With the built-in NVIDIA GeForce graphics card, Minecraft or Runescape will be playable like piece of cake
With the remaining money, you could get four year subscription to Office 365 University, which is available only for full and part time enrolled university and college students
