$350 Gaming Laptop

I'm looking to get a $350 gaming laptop, as my old one doesn't really let me play the games I start to demand now. 

 

Looking for a screen at 1366x768, to play games like Battlefield 4, Planetside 2, and Dirty Bomb at low settings, preferably with 40+ FPS. Also, this is not a high priority, but, I also do video editing and I usually edit footage at 720p. I don't edit huge amounts of footage, so a huge hard drive isn't exactly a big priority. 

 

Thanks,

-Shadow.

$350 I don't think you can get anything close to a gaming laptop

You can try to get a used but its really not going to happen. You wont get a "solid" gaming experience on anything in the 350$ price. 

 Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other others don't. Don't be a self-centered asshole. -Thank You a PSA from the people who do not say random shit on the internet.
