I am in the market for a new laptop for when my tax return comes in. I have a budget for about $450-500. Some of the things I will be doing with be video editing, some gaming (skyrim, crysis, tf2, emulators, and Metro 2033) I don't need to run them at a ridiculously high setting. I'll also be using it a lot for Kodi for my movies as well. I would like to have a dedicated gpu if possible, and possibly 8+ gigs of ram. The size of the hard drive really doesn't matter as I have a 1tb hard drive to reuse. Any recommendations will be good. I am flexible with either open box, new or refurbished.
Take a look at this Laptop on Newegg.
