Well my Asus K55N has been kickass, but sucks with some of my classes for VB, CCNA, etc. I want more screen resolution so I can utilize it better for my classes primarily. With that, I do some primarily RTS gaming on my current laptop which has done an excellent job overall. But 1300x700 resolution just doesn't cut it.
Budget: $700 MAX

What I need:
Would prefer:
I've missed quite a few deals...I'm hoping to snag something in the coming week or two as my school load is going to increase greatly this week in classes I could really use the extra resolution with. So any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thanks for taking the time to look!

What I need:
- 1080p
- 4+gb RAM
- some dedicated GPU power for gaming (AMD or NV fine), NO SLI or CF
- 500+GB HDD or SHDD
- 4+hr Battery Life
- Fits in my Condor Urban Go pack
Would prefer:
- Matte screen
- Haswell-based using NV Optimus for switching (seems to be the most effective all-around combo fwir)
- 15.6" Screen, may consider 17"
- Full keyboard w/numpad
- NV GT750M or 8850M or similar mid-range
- Fits in my Condor Urban Go pack's 16" laptop pocket (A 17" lappy would need to go in the main compartment with my other gear, books, etc.)
- Backlit Keyboard
- New/Refurb Warranty
