Laptops under $350

(Wrong Section, sorry) The search bar isn't there so I am going to just post...I am looking for the best laptop I can get for under $350 US. I was planning to use it for college mainly with some light use in gaming (like Skullgirls, TF2, Sims, and other less demanding games graphically) I'd like at least 4GB of RAM if possible. Thank you guys! 

 

P.S. ASUS is my favorite brand so bonus for if it is by them.

If you want a little something to live around your PC, a chromebook with Ubuntu installed may suffice.  It's late for me so I cannot suggest any products but I have noted that ASUS seems to have lesser (I think) offerings at this range.  Probably some specs to  look for at this range are a 720p+ screen, (1080p would be rare) an i3 would be doable. but most of all:  BATTERY LIFE! search reviews for this.

For the Best builds and Price lists here is a world where many points of the price have been predefined already for your convenience!

The Xeon E3 1231 V3 IS BETTER Than the Core i5 4690K and a Significantly better value for the non-overclockers or value shoppers.

The OS is like a kind food, Try it before saying if you like it or don't.

They removed the search bar a while ago.

Just noticed it's back, they must have put it back yesterday when adding new themes

Go into a local Best Buy or Sam's Club and see if they have any display laptops on sale. There are some good deals every now and again, like I picked up the highest end model of the ASUS VivoBook, which was like $1100, for only $550 in near flawless condition. There was a small, almost insignificant scratch on the lid, but it's perfect otherwise.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.
