I'm a gamer who does usually very light gaming. I don't have a specific budget but lower is better than higher for me. I'm looking for a portable laptop that can handle the following games at decent performance: Cooking simulator: OS: Windows 7 x64 Processor: i5 3550 / FX-8350 Memory: 6 GB RAM Graphics: GTX 660Ti 3GB / R9 270X 4GB DirectX: Version 9.0c Storage: 6 GB available space Sunless skies: OS: Windows 7 Processor: Intel Pentium 2Ghz or AMD equivalent Memory: 4 GB RAM Graphics: DX9 (shader model 3.0) or DX11 with feature level 9.3 capabilities Storage: 4500 MB available space Sound Card: DirectX 9.0c compatible

You're not going to get much for that budget. If you're willing to up your budget an extra 100 I would recommend this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/MSI-GF75-17-3-120Hz-Gaming-Laptop-i7-9750H-8GB-RAM-256GB-SSD-GTX-1050Ti-4GB/293306936502?hash=item444a74acb6:g:l4QAAOSwyGpdu7-x It's on sale for 700$ usd.

Would that be any 3rd gen i5 or i7?

I see, the reason I'm asking is because the T430 does NOT have a soldered CPU. In that case would it be able too?

Would a T430 be able to support newer processors such as a AMD Ryzen 5 1600?

I'm looking for a laptop that can do a few things: 1. Be able to handle extremely light gaming (such as Cooking Simulator and FTL) 2: Have a nice screen that is nice, bright, and colorful. 3: Be cheap enough to not break the bank. (200$ or less.) If you can find any deals for the laptop you find, please link it in your reply. Thanks, manwithsomeham.

It sounds like begging but I'm desperate, so don't judge me.

For my T440S I like to play games. However, the FPS is very low sometimes. How would I increase my FPS to solve that problem in the cheapest way problem?

I guess you're right.

What about the screen?

I have a new thinkpad and I'm already thinking of overhauling it, so what would be the best things to prioritize first?

Seems a bit suspicious, but I don't know... https://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-ThinkPad-T400-Laptop-2-40ghz/dp/B01D5OM1P4/ref=sr_1_9?keywords=thinkpad+refurbished+windows+10&qid=1572398562&sr=8-9

Thinkpads seem much older. Would there be a way to run windows 10 on it?
