Hello, I am looking for a gaming laptop and my budget is about $1500.
I am not really a big fps gamer and I tend to play more RTS games like Supreme commander Forged alliance and Total war games. I also would like the laptop to be 6 pounds or less and to be somewhat thin. I would also prefer the laptop to have a decent battery life. At least 3 hours or more when I am not gaming.
The laptops I was considering are:
ASUS G550JK-DS71

the Lenovo y50

MSI Apache pro 033 (or any other apache pro which might be better)

Asus N550JV-DB72T
I really like the MSI apache pro, but I have heard bad things about their cooling and battery life. Will this be a problem as I intend to use this as my laptop for college as well.
I have heard that gigabyte makes good laptops as well. I don't mind considering those as long as they don't exceed $1500
I am also considering removing the HDD and installing the SSD. I also will probably uninstall windows 8 and install 7, unless there is something that make windows 8 more bearable.
Help is appreciated!
