Which laptop for college? - 2

Lenovo Ideapad U430 vs. Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro vs. Asus Zenbook

- Science student
- Basic net surfing and browsing (LOTS of research)
- Mild gaming
- Stream/watch shows and movies

Not interested in Chromebooks, Acer or Dell… Open to other suggestions… Thanks!
Also, it'd be nice if it was less than 15". Thank you!

Added (1). And we read a lot of PDFs… So added Acrobat Viewer would be nice. I know they all have nice screen resolutions.

Below I have provided a comparison between the three laptops you had listed. The Asus Zenbook is the best performer with an i7 processor 8 GB or RAM. Based on what you listed I think the Asus is your best choice since you listed mild gaming (at over 15' you might not like it). But for lots of research and watching movies any of your selections would work. You can look at the link and see the stats side by side and decide for yourself! Hope this helps.
