Hey fellas. I am looking at buying a laptop at around 500$ (Could be used.) I want it to be able to play some games. Being that, Hey gaming on the go. I wanna try that! I am not talking anything serious. The most gpu intensive game I will probably play is modded skyrim.

With my budget I understand it will probably be real crap build quality and 720p.

Thanks a ton!

For real, I don't think that you'll get much for $500, but here is the best I could find quickly:

GeForce 820M and an okay i3 is a pretty good deal in my opinion... let's see what others come up with.

Sorry again for my terrible joke.

The HD 5550 might be able to play it on low, but something with a okay descrete gpu would be great. I can always upgrade Ram.

The one I posted gets pretty decent framerates (for a $450 laptop) on low settings at 768p. I'd enjoy to have that one myself for schoolwork :)

Lol, it's alright. But skyrim is kinda unplayable with an 820m. Eck.

Eh I guess you're right about Skyrim. Once you add mods it's not gonna hover around 40s anymore :)
