I'm looking to buy a new laptop in a few months or so that is durable and has enough battery life for a regular day in class. It doesn't have to have touch screen or HD display. I can bear with just 768 on a 14". I'm not looking to game in it, so I'm not looking for the ones with OS already in it cause they increase the price, even if just a tiny bit
Scbumb?

Sadly i can't purchase from newegg, and I just use the price online for reference only
Are you buying from a birck and mortar store, if so ask to see if they will price match online vendors.
