Hello,

So I need to buy a laptop for school, and I need a laptop that is quiet, can last the school day (7+ hours), and can be used for playing recent titles, i.e. Assassins Creed: Syndicate. Oh, and bonus if it's light. Thanks.

Well I would suggest https://www.asus.com/Notebooks/N551VW/specifications/ , cheap laptop for around $900, comes with gtx 960m and i7-6700hq which are enough to perform and has a big 6cell battery which lasts a long time.

Things with GTX 960m come with a quad core i7, quad cores are powerful but don't have great battery life. You have to look for something with dual core i5 or i7 xxxxU and those come with gt 940 tops, and it won't play games good again. You know schools have power strips where you can charge your PC in the breaks and even in class if you sit next to a power strip?

Alright I guess at least 5 hours would be good enough, and our school doesn't have a lot of those.
