Looking for a laptop for college in Canada under 650$

Solution
The laptop from NCIX has an i5 vs while the one from Newegg has an i3. There is a bit of an performance edge to the i5 but not a big difference.

The i3 does have better integrated graphics but again the difference is not big. This difference might be more important if gaming a consideration.

With such a push in performance I would go with the newer platform, the i3 from Newegg.
