Nah. I can't buy both a desktop and a laptop. Secondly, I'd rather move away from a gaming laptop if I have too. Don't really want to play high end games anyway.
So, any more suggestions?

I'd rather the SSD be built in than have to buy it seperately.

Don't really want the ASUS gaming laptop. 17" is too big.

Maybe a more mainstream laptop that can do gaming on the side?

Buying a SSD separately is much much cheaper and you can actually pick the one you want. The add-on thru the manufacturer will cost a lot and could be a crappy cheapo one. Plus by buying it yourself, it forces you to put on a fresh install of Windows, which is always a really really good idea when buying a computer.

Asus is mainstream, so you'd be fine with them. Here's the 15" flavor:

Also, check out the Lenovo Y580:

That one might actually be cheaper than the Asus with basically the same specs.

Might as well get the Yoga 13 if I'm thinking of getting the Y580 right?
