This laptop was a great buy the 8gb ram is a real boost when opening applications and browsing and the screen quality was much better than what I expected at this price point.  It is also great for casual gaming depending on the settings.  I was able to get 40+ fps with csgo on low settings.  And around 60 fps on arma 2 and 30 fps Arma 3 with lower settings.  However the laptop lacks internal storage but can easily be fixed with an external hard drive if you need the extra space, other than that it is a great buy and I would recommend this to any college student on a budget.
