Hi. I'm searching for a laptop to use for college. My old one doesn't have the specs to keep up. I need a laptop that can utilize my ASUS VS248H-P monitor while having programs like Spotify, Hearthstone, and multiple tabs of Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox up.
I did find one laptop, the Lenovo G505s 59378837 on Newegg for $449 but it ran out of stock while I was in the middle of purchasing it and I don't know if it will ever come back in stock because of how short laptops stay relevant in the market.

I heard from one of my computer friends that I'll need at least a dedicated graphics card to be able to run my monitor without lag but all the laptops I've checked out come with integrated graphics card in my budget range(a soft $500 and probably a hard $600 but I can be persuaded to go up). A laptop that either has a dedicated graphics card or an powerful enough integrated card where the lag that comes with running my monitor will be negligible is important. Also, it'd be ideal if it can play PC game like Borderlands 2, Payday 2, and Hearthstone. If it can play all 3 at a low to medium range at 30-60 fps, that be more than enough for me.
Everything else (battery life, hard drive and hard drive speed, RAM,) can be average or below average for what my budget is.
