I figured this is probably not such a great time to buy something, considering the next round of upgrades comes around the fall, right? Thanks for the recommendations so far! That site is indeed Canadian, so it's definitely an option. I also found this Dell computer on the Microsoft Store's website:

The i7 part is nice, but for the video card (I hope I'm using that term right) it lists this:

AMD Radeon R5 M335 with 4GB graphics memory, Intel HD Graphics 520

Since it's not NVIDIA, I'm assuming it can't handle much beyond low-quality visuals, which is fine considering my budget. And at about $800 I still have some lunch money left over. Is that AMD Radeon R5 a really bad bottleneck?

Yea the AMD one is wayyyy worse.

In rainbow 6 for example. 960m gets 54fps on high at 1080p vs 12 fps on AMD. Dont even take a second look at the Amd one dude. You wont be able to play anything.

 

Oh and the i7 is a dual core vs the one I suggested has an i5 quad core. Why yes, laptops are confusing.
