It's not too light, but I'm not sure you'll find a light and portable laptop in your price range that will be powerful enough for multi-tasking and light gaming. It comes with a new kaby lake i3 processor, 4gb of ram, 1TB HDD and HD 620 graphics. There is another slot for a second ram stick so I would suggest buying a 8GB ram stick from amazon for ~$30 to up to RAM to 12Gb. It also has a 1080p TN display, a very long battery life, and a backlit keyboard. ","subreddit_name":"SuggestALaptop","author":"Michiganders"},{"body":"Not really.

Although the Amazon version only comes with an i3 rather than the i5 on the one you linked, the i3 is only 8-10% less powerful. The Amazon one also has a much better 1080p display compared to the 720p display on the newegg one. Finally, the Amazon one has a much better battery.
