Looking for a laptop for university

[Muzzles56]

I'm going to university in September to do software engineering, so I need a laptop to do work on. Since I'm living away from home, I'd like it to be able to handle some gaming as well.

Requirements:
- 4GB RAM
- Runs cs:go at decent settings & framerate
-  £700 / $1100 or less

is running csgo well absolutely necessary?

Ooh sorry to steal the spotlight but Im looking for one too! I want one that just runs fast enough to the point where I can take notes on it and access the internet every once in a while for research. I want it to be pretty small too

I mean, the requirements weren't that specific, but this has everything you mentioned.

Unless, you know, Acer is a prob

you should get a Surface 3. It's amazing for notes, and browses the web quite well. All that and it's very portable.

This EDIT: Scratch that, I thought it was this: http://www.costco.com/ASUS-Zenbook-NX500JK-Touchscreen-Laptop-%7C-Intel-Core-i7-%7C-4K-Ultra-HD-%7C-2GB-Graphics-%7C-Backlit-Keyboard-%7C-1-Year-Accidental-Damage-Protection.product.100217280.html

Surface Pro 3 :)

Anything but this, it has Intel HD graphics, wouldn't run CS:GO for stuff.

Never used this before, but plenty of my friends and people on this forum have said good things about it.

says it's starting at <$1000

[Mr.Blocko]

says it's starting at <$1000

No

$1100 or less

Also: Starting at $979.00 (from website)

[phflack]

No

yes?
what do you mean by no?
it literally says $979 as you said, which is <$1000

[Mr.Blocko]

says it's starting at <$1000

Wait was this supposed to be a good thing?

yes?
what do you mean by no?
it literally says $979 as you said, which is <$1000

If yes, I thought you meant that it NEEDED to be above $1000 for some stupid reason, and if you think that you should die in a hole, no hard feelings.

I literally said it's starting at <$1000
how the duck are you interpreting that?
I'm interpreting it as "it's starting at less than one thousand dollars, which is under budget and could be a good match"
