So my friend needs a laptop, since he moves around allot, but he also want to game. One of the games he wants to play is CSGO, so canything capable at running that at high frames with high settings should be good for him. Are there any for a relativity low price? 1080P Gaming

Look for a laptop with a dedicated GPU. I can't directly recommend anything to you because I personally don't use a laptop to play games on, I use my XPS 15 for school. You can find many laptops with the GTX 965m or the 970m (if his price range will allow for this). The 970m is a fairly high performance GPU that's capable of playing most games at 1080p with medium/high settings, but will be able to play a less demanding game like CSGO with well over 60fps at max details and max anti-aliasing. 965m machines will typically run you just under $1,000USD and 970m machines will typically be in the $1750-2200USD range.

I would recommend this laptop: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834315302&cm_sp=Homepage_BS-_-P4_34-315-302-_-04242016

 

Its currently on sale for $480 and it packs some pretty great features for its price...

 

Intel i5 6200u (2.30 Ghz)

Nvidia Geforce 940m

8gb Ram

And best of all it has a 1080p screen (although it is a tn screen so viewing angles aren't great)

 

During the Black Friday sale I got a laptop very similar to this one (it had a 5200u instead of a 6200u) for $430. The only things that I can really complain about is the screen which doesn't have the best viewing angles, and the battery life which lasts about 6 hours while browsing the web and 2 and a half hours gaming. Otherwise I thought that the laptop is a very good machine for its low price tag.

Budget? Low prices can mean different numbers for different people. A million dollars is considered nothing to Donald Trump.
