Looking for a cheap used “gaming” laptop

Hello!

 

I am not typically a laptop person and don’t really know much about the laptop space in terms of what are good brands, features, price, etc. However, I do know components and am an experienced desktop builder.

 

Anyways, I have found myself to be wanting a cheap laptop that can of course satisfy general use (which I already have) and more importantly light gaming (which my current laptop cannot do). I just need it to comfortable run WOW, LOL, and such games on medium settings.

 

I am not wanting amazing performance and want to prioritize something cheap that gets the job done over higher performance.

 

what would be some great used options? I just want to run 1080, 60hz, at least 60fps wow, & LOL. Would of course be nice to get a screen with higher refresh rate or something with an IPS panel that gets bright or helps to negate glare.

 

Thank you!

do you have a number? or what do you classify as 'cheap'?

Sorry I couldn’t really give a budget because idk what laptops go for. Looking for something for a few hundred dollars or less probably.

The one above is basically one of the best that I could find. Try looking for rtx 3050 used gaming laptops on eBay
