I'm looking for a $500 laptop for college and light gaming (LoL, pretty much nothing intensive). I am a computer science major so I will need it to compile code and other developery things. It would be cool if I could take notes on it as well with a stylus to draw figures and graphs.

Okay, new budget: Moderate gaming on it (LoL, Civ V, moderately demanding FPS's), but mostly focused on ergonomics. I'll be doing developer work on it and would like a lot of utility. I would like the ability to draw things on it for note taking. Nice keyboard, battery life, speakers (optional) etc. Any suggestions? $700 is my budget. Oh, and I might need to dual boot or run a virtual machine on it, so I'm hoping for some decent hard drive space (at least 500 gb to work with). Thanks. I do not know much about laptops, but there appears to be all this hype about haswell and stuff. Suggestions are appreciated.

Anyone have experience with the S431 Lenovo Ultrabook Thinkpad? http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/s-series/s431/ I'm looking at the $800 one, with the discrete graphics. Are the graphics worth the upgrade?

QuarkJets posted:e: My resolve is seriously wavering; I've been wanting to hold out for more HD5000 laptops so that I could enjoy better battery life will still being a mediocre gaming laptop, but the 410p is looking really nice. The $829 deal for the 1600x900 model goes on for another 7 days, so plenty of time to make up my mind I guess. Are we still looking at late September/October before we start seeing more HD 5000 laptops? Yea... I'm just worried about the build quality, battery life, and weight. I heard that Think Pads are built much nicer, what do you think of the S431 I posted?

The weight and battery life do seem pretty shoddy though, I will be using this for college. In retrospect ergonomics are more important to me.
