Good Laptops or tablets for under $600 usd

C.G.F.Sabre

I am in the market for a new laptop or tablet. I would like to be able to play games, maybe some sony vegas and photoshop. Also I do know nothing for $600 dollars would be that good. Games wise I play lots of civ, csgo, battefield but that does not matter for these, and I play mc, and some other rts games. Also I would be willing to go a bit higher if it was a good deal. Like a refurbished one or just a good deal.

for 600$ you wont get a quality laptop that can play games. You can get a really nice laptop without a GPU, but not one with a gpu for 600. your only real chance is lenovos line up, I believe their low end dedicated gpus are sub 600, but clearly there's quality sacrifices to get there.

This is fairly decent for the price.

I fairly certain it does not have a dedicated graphics card but an on board one but does have an HDMI out and a USB3.0 on it.

Any reason for the portability? A desktop would be great as well. Let me see what I can dig up.

 

Edit: This seems amazing for the price: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834232605

I don't think it will run games that well.

Unfortunately for under $600 your not going to find a laptop with a dedicated graphics card. ASUS has a fair range of laptops that can game.

You could look at Lenovo or even *shudder* Dell for something that might work out. My top suggestion is either ASUS or Lenovo.

well I go to my friends alot and I do have a desktop, also I have heard that a laptop is very helpful for high school.

 

A cheap desktop (~600 dollars with Windows key and Monitor/Mouse/Keyboard) is possible and will have much more performance than a laptop. Unless your highschool allows you to bring computers to school, go for a desktop.

I have a 1300 dollar desktop that I built. but I need something somewhat close to it because my family does lots of traveling and like I said I go to friends houses a lot.
