Laptop under $1300 for Computer Science Student?

[dgenex]

I will be starting my studies in NTU Com Sci soon, need to get a new laptop as mine is spoilt. Any recommendations on what I should get with a $1300 budget? Will be using it for School & some light gaming.

Preferably something that can run Dota 2 fine (Low Settings) and has a decent Processor & RAM.

Any Suggestions for models/brands?

Check your school offerings
I think there's a dell 1.1k should suit your requirement
