Hate to be that guy and just drop in, but I would greatly appreciate some help.

I am looking for a laptop for my dad for under 700 USD.

It needs to have 15 inch screen, decent enough ram/cpu to handle 900 Firefox tabs open at the same time and a GPU that can run a game here and there (let's say Battlefield 3) at decent (45+) framerate on low/medium-low settings.
CD/DVD drive, 8 hour battery life and a SSD are not needed.
7200rpm HDD is a plus.

Generally he has no brand affiliations, but Lenovo might be off-limits for him since the last one broke down after 4 years, so he swore never get one again.

Tell him to get over his Lenovo hate and get a Y510

Yeah, that's not happening. :/
Plus Lenovos are super overpriced where I live (Latvia, East Europe).
Asuses and HPs are pretty much the most accessible brand of laptops here and thus the most reasonably priced.
