I am a student looking to do some casual stuff on a laptop that doesn't empty my wallet. Like Microsoft Word, Google Drive, and other school-related programmed. However, I also want to do some gaming on it, such as GTA V, CSGO, and other popular games like that. The laptop doesn't have to run it perfectly, around 30 FPS is fine.

 

what laptop do you recommend?

I find it's price way too expensive, not too far from a MacBook.

 

what? it is like 60% of the price of a 13 inch Macbook pro and much more powerful.

What is your budget?

Oh okay, I thought that since the Integrated Graphics in a Core i5-i7 was okay. So I thought it would be well-priced. Thank you

oh no, it is still really really bad, AMD APUs are better, but GTA V is not gonna run very well on them. Your best bet is to save up for a better laptop. :)
