    Looking to get a new laptop, mainly for college, but a little bit of gaming would probably be done on it - nothing overly intensive, realistically probably 90% Company of Heroes (the first one, not the new one) - so the video card doesn't really have to be up to much, I'd prefer dedicated over integrated HD4000 or the Amd Trinity APU's. I was thinking the Enigma IV on PcSpecialist, can get it for 570 delivered with the i3 3120, 120gb SSD and GT650, which seems fantastic value for money. Wouldn't mind finding something in the 400-500 range either though if anyone has any suggestions.

    Although the model is obselete N5520 equipped with Corei5 Ivy bridge and 1 gb 7670M radeon is quite decent laptop surely will run company of heroes 2 and upcoming games as well, try to check at near dell outlets.

    pcspecialist is top notch, and great value.
    However, I would ditch the SSD, for a cheaper HDD and upgrade to intel haswell (if you can, I'm not sure they're running it out for those models...if it's not on the drop down list, try contacting them as sometimes they can make adjustments that aren't actually listed)

    You can always upgrade to SSD later on..and haswell (the intel 4th gen ) have excellent battery life.
