For $1500 I'd get something with a dedicated GPU so I could play games. That's a pretty good price for a gaming laptop.
I already have a gaming laptop and a gaming desktop, I needed a school and everyday on the go power house that is ultra lightweight.
I sprung for 16gbs of RAM and 512gb SSD with the i7 6500u and I will say, there is just something amazing about seeing a new laptop and having it so light and powerful.
