Intel I5, prefer Intel I7

nVidia chip

300-500gb hdd (ssd if possible)

thank you in advance

you might be able to get an off lease machine with those specs (gen 2 or 3 i5 lowend geforce dedicated) but it wont come with W8. SSD is basically out of the question; in that price range.

For that price, you won't be getting what you want, definitely not new.

The dedicated GPU alone will rule out everything in that range.

For 300, I honestly doubt it. Or get any that would last. For that budget you are going to look at an i3 for the most part. i5/i7 comes up around 500+ area. Maybe you can find a refurbished one around that.

that's quite a low budget

@LtRavens Thank you!

@GzeroD off-lease you mean rent a center?

@GzeroD off-lease you mean rent a center?

 

No. off lease means it is a refurbished computer that had been part of a lease program (usually for a company or school)

AH!! That is a good idea ill have to look in to that!

Is the kind of thing you should expect to find as an off lease sale item.

 

That one looks pretty solid. Battery life will be mediocre but its got respectable specs and a warranty.

I meant that's quite a low budget for what you want, not a low budget for a laptop
