teceem: You didn't comment on the OS "sluggishness" when using a 5,400 rpm laptop drive.

timppu: Not sure what that even is. How fast Notepad or command prompt starts when I click on their icons? To me Windows 7 doesn't feel sluggish on this HDD laptop where I am writing this, even compared to my SSD laptop (which is running Windows 10 though). Maybe I am less susceptible to it then.
Yes, simple things, like pressing Windows+E to open an explorer window. Maybe you don't mind that it takes a second or more...
So that HDD laptop you have, is it 7200rpm or 5400rpm?
I'd first consider refurbished systems...

Although not sure if any of those will be good enough, and gaming laptops are like 10x more expensive from a quick glance.
I'm not the fan of refurbished laptops, i guess i would stretch out and buy something new like this for $550 or maybe this for $700 but even that is too much considering how much more you get with a desktop or custom config. -.-

Edit: What the heck is wrong with forum formatting... nevermind.

How did you do that? Two links in one line. I heard it's impossible and brakes formatting (and my experience confirms).
