    No need to spend much money on this. If by study you mean office type software then any new laptop will run that just fine.
    For LoL you need a GPU that's capable of light gaming. The AMD A10 series is perfect for this. You should get 60 fps with a mix of medium to high settings.

    Something like this would be perfect

    there you go http://configure.euro.dell.com/dellstore/config.aspx?oc=n00w8m02&model_id=alienware-m18x-r2&c=ie&l=en&s=dhs&cs=iedhs1

    It looks as this "SH1T" should be good for someone like you. Flashy and good for a person that doesn't know how to behave properly.

    And heavy as ****.

    Again, I've said this 50 times in this forum but you can try this model. The M6-1205 is your guy:

    http://www8.hp.com/uk/en/products/laptops/product-detail.html?oid=5350132

    The only difference between this one and the one on my floor is the lettering on the end is SA not DX which I'm sure is only regional coding and what type of plug its packaged with (EU derp). Otherwise its the same PC. Runs skyrim on High settings, built solidly, NUM keys and DVD Burner, 2.1 Audio (yes, it has a subwoofer) etc.

    Or an ultrabook, because you want a computer for study:

    http://www.dell.com/ie/p/xps-12-l221x/pd

    Gorilla Glass, Machined Aluminium, Carbon Fiber. Transforms into a 64-bit Tablet. need I say more? I've sold almost as many of these as I have the 1205, the only difference is the buyer's budget. Both work great as college laptops. I'd personally the XPS 12 Duo though, I have plenty of other things to game with, not that the i5 does too poorly for itself. You should also investigate the Samsung Ativ Pro 700T or the Microsoft Surface Pro if you fancy something that will be the complete digital replacement of all things paper-based, meaning you'd never have to carry a book or a notepad again. I strongly recommend a Samsung or the Surface for any student taking math or science-heavy courses, as it makes keeping track of your notes far far simpler than anything I have ever used before. Hand-written notes are all easily retrieved by search, its a great alternative to boxes of old and scrambled paper notepads. XPS 12 is the jealousy-maker among medical/arts&psych students, and traveling professionals.
