Friend of mine wants a laptop capable of running current games, decent framerates, but only has a budget of ~$500. I know, I know, that's nowhere near enough for a GOOD laptop, but maybe there's something out there that's good enough for her usage. Wants to be able to play Destiny 2, Siege, Fallout 4, Skyrim, etc, as well as new games that come out. My laptop with a Ryzen 7 2700u with no additional GPU runs all of these games, but I'd like to see if I can squeeze a GPU into her budget.

 

Here's the laptops I've found so far, but unsure if they will run these games (at least decently):

 

Dell Inspiron 15 Ryzen 5 No GPU

Samsung Notebook 5 Ryzen 5 No GPU

Dell 2-in-1 Ryzen 7 No GPU

ASUS Vivobook Ryzen 5 GTX 1050 

 

It's slightly more than her budget, but was gonna push her to save for the last one. Anyone know of a better deal that will fit her budget better?

 

EDIT: Found this on Newegg, maybe it can work? HP I5-8250U Radeon 520
