Sup folks, first of all sorry for making so many posts recently.

I've come to the conclution that a laptop would do me better than a windows tablet since i want to play 
Xcom, FTL, Starbound etc 

So now i'm looking for the best laptop for gaming under 500 usd.
I want it to run Windows 7+.

1080p would be nice but if the screen is small i guess it's not as important.

HDD/SSD space isnt very important.

Thanks

no problem man linus loves active people

atm,ill suggest a used lenovo y40

no superfish issue... etc etc

look for acer,asus as they have many good laptops at that price point

if your looking for new laptops

just lookout for the display features

wide gamut

ips

1080 is very achievable in 500

gtx 820 840 r9 270m or higher

ill just try to find a used y40 if i were u

happy gaming

if possible try to save up for 750 and you will have so many more options

“It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

personally do not know how graphically intense is the games u play, but the display is 760p so it wouldnt be a big problem

and yes the ram n stuff added up seems pretty sweet
