Hi there. I am looking to pick up a laptop by $833 that will primarily handle web browsing, Word and Excel, multimedia, and some light gaming—think stuff like Counter-Strike, Call of Duty, or Battlefield Online. I was wondering if this would be a decent choice:

I already have a dedicated gaming rig at home, but since I haven't been around much lately, I need a portable machine for general tasks with the occasional game thrown in here and there. Would something like this actually be viable or worth the money? Or should I just stick to something strictly for basic productivity so I don't have to worry about performance issues later on?

It’s not a total disaster, though that processor is pretty weak.

Honestly, I’d rather go with an i3 and just make some sacrifices when it comes to gaming. The integrated graphics aren't even that bad—they can still handle older titles just fine.

Oh, interesting. So we're talking about the HD 520, right?
Anyway, I really dig it. Honestly, it looks like the perfect fit.
I'm definitely picking it up. Thanks! 😉
