BBys, I need a laptop for college! I need help!

My anus is ready for college and I need a fast and affordable laptop. I'm not buying a lolMac and my budget is up to $1000, maybe a little more. I plan on becoming a computer programmer and keeping the laptop for a while after doing my pre-reqs. I want a fast computer. One with a good and spacious HDD (at most 500 GB) and a nice amount of RAM. I'm not too sure on the touch screen as I do like Windows 8, but a touch screen would be too much for doing simple things... 16 in screen is a must. I... uh.. Don't know what else to put.

    • MSi GE70? IDK, I bought a GT60, was good for heavy loads and gaming, had an awesome keyboard, but was heavy, clunky, and had a shit trackpad. The other G-series laptops seem like good choices. Oh, and never buy an Alienware.

      My laptop cost $1050 AUD, it's got an i7, 16gb ram and 1.5gb dedicated graphics, as well as a built in touch screen and webcam. But it's only 15 inch I think, possibly even less.

      • Ibuyppower, amazon, ebay...all your friends. Don't buy from any store. I suggest Asus or lenova.

          [url=http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/ideapad/y-series/y510p/?tt=ufadfw]Lenovo Ideapad Y510p[/url] it's a 15.6" but at 1080p it will diplay 2 papers side by side easily. Dedicated GPU for gaymes. Powerful quad core i7, 8GB ram, 1TB 5400rpm drive + 24GB SSD I don't think it's touch screen though. I was looking at the $1049.00 version I have a Yoga 2 Pro which I would highly recommend, but it's only 13.3"

          • I use a Surface Pro for university. Would definitely recommend with a mechanical keyboard At home I use a Dell Inspiron N5110 with a second gen i7. Which is very awesome... but there are probably newer models which are even better of course. Plus you can get different colours! I got a bright blue which looks fabulous
