Friend needs cheap laptop.

[The Toaster]

Hello! I'm trying to help out a friend who is trying to purchase a laptop.

She is only looking to play games like Roblox or Minecraft. With a budget around 400$. She wants to be able to use a usb headset and a mouse.

I know for 400$ you aren't going to get anything good. But I am having trouble finding somehting decent at the price.

Thanks for the help guys!

Can you give me an online retailer? I am unsure which one you use but for that price na i5 can be doable.

I guess your best bet is an Lenovo B50-80 with an i3-5010U CPU.
Broadwell delivers some pretty good video performance.

It has only a HD+ display, but on 15'' that might be okay for your friend.

Whatever gives me the best product for the best price. I use a ton anyways.

Awesome, thanks!

I was looking at some benchmarks and it actually looks pretty similar in performance to HD 5500 graphics, the gaming benchmarks are at the bottom of these links.
