Recommend me a laptop
Requirements:
1. first of all, IT DOESN'T NEED TO BE POWERFUL ENOUGH TO GAME WELL. I'm just using it for college. It should be fast enough to get work done.
2. considering black friday, budget under $800
3. no macbooks or chrome books
4. have at least 500GB

@Pastafarian: like i said no macbooks lol I don't really like em that much
I know it doesn't meet your requirements, but I can't recommend the macbook air enough. Portability, reliability, and insane battery for around the same price as a pc ultrabook. I honestly can't believe I used to hate apple.
I mean, obviously if your programs aren't compatible with Mac then it's a no go, but for most college-related stuff it does what you need to do.
@alanliuis
Get a Macbook Pro 15" w/o retina display. I got mine for $799 new-- when it was $1499 last year on Black Friday. I dropped this from the second story tumbling down concrete stairs-- and it's still alive. Also I got a snoopy decal of him eating the apple so it's gucci as aff.

This might be the one youre looking for. Runs a bit on the small side, but it has a graphics for your occasional gaming but still has the features of what I assume you'd like for your college classes, lots of space, and a good processor.[/quote]
Oh my. That's a nice laptop for only $500. I'm definitely buying this if it plays league well. I've spilled water on some of my keys and on the trackpad and they either don't work or spaz out so I'm in desperate need of a new laptop.. I only wish the laptop ran windows 7 and not 8....

Wait for the Christmas sales.
Buy the laptop on a date closer to when you are beginning classes.
