Cheap Laptop Help

So I am looking to get into pc gaming but I currently can;t afford to get a big desktop computer and blow $1500. So I was wondering if there were any laptops out there that could run things like Terraria, Minecraft, Destiny 2 (medium to low settings at 60 fps), and maybe a few more games. I think Destiny 2 would be around the most demanding game i'd want to play. I don't mind if the computer is used aslong as it is in good condition. But I would obviously prefer a new one. Thank you!

Another idea is, I currently have a ThinkPad T440s with 8GB ram, and an Intel i7-4500U. The only really bad thing is the Graphics Card. It is an Intel Family Graphics card and its trash. So i was wondering if i got an external GPU would it raise the gaming potential of this computer? Or would it just be better to get a new one?

Yea but the problem with that is $900 isnt a budget laptop. If i was gonna pay that much i might aswell just pay for a desktop, but i cant afford that. Thanks though

Take a look at my previous post. Still see this model (And similar ones) pop up now and then on eBay for a similar price. Can report it plays destiny 2 at 720p around 30-40fps.

 

also check out Amazon’s warehouse deals on their returned but functional laptops. Just google “amazon warehouse deals” and then select laptops and tablets (you can sort by price too).
