Hello, I recently broke my laptop's screen five days after the warranty expired and now am looking for a new laptop. My brother recommended this and I am looking for other opinions before pulling trig on a purchase. I would ideally like to play Overwatch (I pre-ordered the game and have yet to play it do to my current Lenovo being abysmal). Any cheaper options are always welcome. I am a college student so I am looking to use the Best Buy student deal (I believe it is $150 off, though I am not 100% sure if that applies to this laptop).
Specifically, I would appreciate:
- Opinions on this model of laptop, older Acer Aspire models, or Acer laptops in general (specifically regarding durability and longevity)
- Other laptop ideas, except for Lenovos, I have never had so much buyer's remorse (price around $700 tops, more if from Best Buy)
- If I should just simply buy a cheap Chromebook or other laptop and use that for the semester and save up for a laptop when I potentially have more $
- If you know of better deals or ideas
Thanks!

I've had good experience with Acer laptops. I find them relatively cheap for the specs they offer. The specs on this looks decent, although if you're a big gamer, you might just want to check the video card requirement of the games you want to play. The GF940M on this is only about mid-range.
