Bang for the buck

Looking into buying a laptop for my little sister, trying to keep it under the 900 dollar range, the ideal laptop would be able to play a few games, nothing major, and be able to be upgradeable.

Acer Aspire laptops are pretty great in that price range, there are often refurbished or open box models available.

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Where are you from? Any preference on weight, battery life and display size? What games?

What do you mean by 'upgradeable'?

Im from kentucky but its going to atlanta, in terms of weight, no real preference just comfortable to hold, since it would probably stay at home most of the time, battery life is not much of a concern 2-3 hours i suppose?  idk about display size, probably 15 inch? semi intensive games, idk what my little sis actually plays, but as a base it should run something like subnautica at decent settings and frame rates, and by upgradeable i mean, ram, storage etc
