Current one is fried

I need it for co llege classes with software heavy assignments and persobal use with good gaming capabilities preferably

Prefer no more than 1k$$

i figured it would be a bit over 1k like that at 1200

is there nothing else or no reason more to spend more than something like 1200 on a laptop?
i mean that thing does look sick

that's camo

but other than that it'd be a good choice imo

Idk the difference between these

The video cards are the only difference...except for the one that has a camouflage design.
The better the vid card, the higher the price.

There are some good choices that is within your budget. You may want to check out some reviews, here's one to get you started https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxwMlYMMSnI

And I would recommend this [URL=https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-Legion-Y520-i5-7300HQ-80WK00FHUS/dp/B06WVMJ713/ref=as_li_ss_tl?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1504502784&sr=1-1&keywords=y520&linkCode=ll1&tag=a20s-20&linkId=03b972b64b4628834517c7c1cabba416]one[/URL] well below your budget! Good luck!

DO NOT get "gaming" laptops for college classes. It takes special kind of stupid or evil to recommend that for you. You'd be lucky to get 2 hours battery life out of those msi. Then you have to strangle yourself with the cord for rest of the day in classes. Unless gaming is more important to you than comfortably working on it..

DO get: Dell XPS, MS Surface Pro, HP Probook, Macbook Air/Pro, Thinkpad X1 Carbon, Lenovo T460, Lenovo X260. None of them have discrete gpu and are pretty bad at graphic intensive games... but new Intel GPUs aren't that bad as they used to be. I can comfortably play Diablo 3, HOTS, Starcraft 2, PoE, Grim Dawn, Civilization 6 to name a few. If you just play some older game you might not even need "gaming" notebook for it to be perfectly usable.
