So my current laptop is dying. I am looking for a new laptop to get for school with a bit of gaming.

A budget of under $700 would be preferred, but I will be willing to spend up to $1000

The games I play are:Command and Conquer, Age of Empires II and III, and Runescape, although I'm sure they can be played fine on most laptops.

A i5 processor would be preferred.
I am looking for a reliability of 3 years.

Around 500-600 GB of memory

A screen smaller than 15" would be preferred.

As nice as that laptop is, the battery life is crap- ~2 hours isn't the best battery, in this day and age ~4 hours is the minimum I would accept. If Lenovo seems good to you, maybe look at the Lenovo ThinkPad E540. For a slightly lower price, you can get quad core i7 and GeForce 740m. It will have better battery life, but lower performance.
