I'm looking for a laptop under 800(hopefully less than 800) that can do 3 simple tasks.
1. Play games. I want it to be able to handle War Thunder on Med-High settings, while also able to handle less intensive games like Dota and Team fortress, maybe some planetside 2.
2. Be able to work with multitab browsing, youtube goodness, microsoft word, the usual entertainment and school needs
3. I don't know if there is another requirement I have, 1080p/900p would be nice, but not a deal breaker. 15.9 inch screen would be nice, but I might be able to go 14inches. Basically I'm not too worried about the screen since I can plug it in to a monitor or Tv and play my games/movies. I mainly want it to work/last I've seen bad things about the lenovo y500 series and just want something that functions
I have seen a couple I like but please give me more recommendations if possible.

Also curious what Acer, HP, and Asus can offer with a i5 plus gpu in this range.

Thanks, Alex
