Another thing with a laptop for bringing to a friend's is that it is quite a bit different with a smaller screen and such. I have a laptop that I sometimes bring to my friend's house and it runs league fine but it's so much different than my desktop that I don't like playing ranked with it there. When I bring my desktop and use the extra monitor he has there though, it's just like home. My desktop is a elite 130 mITX build. You could maybe do something like what I have and maybe use a NCASE M1 or SG13(when it comes out), or an elite 110. I kinda wish mine was smaller. You could get something that runs league great for like $500-600 in a mITX form factor.

Small lan. Depends on where you do your gaming.

are their any reasonably priced laptops that can possibly be more of a better deal?

mitx lan rig, laptops are really to expensive to justify for that use, as long as you can haul around a pc and monitor and have time to set it up, it wins over laptop. Laptops, are much more convenient and space efficient though, if you have another use for it (ie. School) and it's somewhat equivalent to a LAN rig that would be that better option

Well, at that pricepoint, you can't really get much out of it, you're looking at a 850m/860m at best

Well, have a look around, browse the internet I guess and look at reviews before you buy anything. start here (http://www.anandtech.com/show/8771/best-1000-laptops-holiday-2014) but take it with a grain of salt, I'm not to informed on laptops

This is what I'd suggest for you with what I know of what you're wanting it for.

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

 
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Seidon 120V 86.2 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler  ($29.99 @ Newegg) 
Motherboard: MSI H81I Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard  ($63.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Storage: Crucial MX100 128GB 2.5" Solid State Drive  ($64.95 @ SuperBiiz) 
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R7 260X 2GB Video Card  ($104.99 @ SuperBiiz) 
Case: Cooler Master Elite 110 Mini ITX Tower Case  ($36.99 @ Newegg) 
Power Supply: EVGA 500W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply  ($24.99 @ NCIX US) 
Total: $445.88
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

The SSD could be switched out for a HDD or you could do both. The Seidon cooler is really cheap right now with a MIR which is why I chose that. You could probably go with 4GB of RAM if you want because I hardly ever use more than 4 even though I have 8. That case is about the smallest you can get without compromises. That GPU can max out League no problem and it can probably do quite a bit with other games. My 750Ti (slightly worse than the 260x) can do bioshock infinite at ultra (1080p) no problem. My G3258 with a similar cooler is overlocked by 40% (4.5GHz) so if you can overlock get that CPU but if you can't just get an i3 and use the stock cooler. I have the same motherboard there and it works great for that CPU and it'll work with an i3 also. All of the parts were chosen with price in mind and the ability to max out league of legends for a few years. If you want to spend more, let me know and I can do a bit better build list.

the case i wanna use in this would actually be the bitfenix prodigy case ive already changed that around in the pcpartpicker list. now what if i wanna use a quad core? im saying using an amd cpu along with a aio liquid cooler if possible. thank you.

I would not recommend an AMD cpu but if you want quad core in the prodigy this would work great!

That cooler works just about as good as an aio liquid cooler, it's quieter, and you don't need any more for that cpu.

An i3 might also be a good choice because it is closer to a quad core but not as expensive. If I was to build my computer again not wanting to overclock I would get an i3

Is  amd cpu usable in this config at all?

I don't know much about AMD builds because Intel blows it away in value but I guess this would work. I think it would perform about as good as the dual core pentium one I posted. There wasn't any 6300 motherboards that are mITX so I couldn't do that cpu.
