Need help choosing a PC

blacksabbath25

I am looking to buy a pre-bullt laptop (a rip-off, I know), but it needs to have a dedicated GPU and be under $500. Any ideas, guys?

There is a Samsung one that has very good dedicated graphics coupled with what i believe is Intel Pentium CPU, that's still a good show for the money.

 

I don't find APUs that appealing at that price points, given how much they're power/heat constrainted in those form factors.

Stop bloating nonsense, and reason to contribute in a constructive manner.

I just looked around on newegg. I didn't see any samsung with a dedicated chip in it whether from nvidia or AMD. The best thing he can get within his budget would be a APU sure its not the BEST option but at his point it is. Its stronger then the intel graphics that you would find.

People do but its fairly pricey I'd imagine buying a frame and finding parts that would fit within. Parts are harder to come by as well you can find them on ebay though shrugs. For example here is a GTX680M for laptops.
