Gaming Laptop

[Artiom916]

Hey guys, can anyone recommend me a gaming laptop that inst for hardcore gaming. Just to play so norm games on medium settings. My price range is 500-600$. I am a college student and I want to use it for work and occasionally play games on it. Thanks!

Sorry buddy I looked around if there was anything for that cheap.. I can tell you for sure you will not get a gaming laptop with discrete gpu for 600$. The cheapest that Dave Lee on youtube reviewed was Dell Inspirion 7559 with gtx 960M and an i5 cpu. For 800$. That's your best bet. Getting whatever portable that games at this price.. a used 800M series gpu laptop is all I can say. Save some more.. Never buy a cheap laptop. They are not in any way futureproof.

Well what laptop would you reccomend to be good for school? I personaly have rage issues when a laptop is slow. So I will be using it for typing, research, netflix, etc.

the Acer Aspire E5-573G-59C3 from what I understand is pretty good under $600

All the ones I found are for over 800$.

This guy that says Acer Aspire E15 and there's a link to the site, that laptop is good. gtx 940mx, 256gb ssd, 6200U cpu. This will no problem give you the preformance you need. No heavy games of course, but entry level preformance is a yes. and an ssd will keep your computer fast. Listen to this guy

I5 is fine. difference is that the I7 is higher clock and has 2 more threads. 

 

EDIT: plus  for the i7 its $700 which I know for that price there are a lot better laptops in that price tier.

Ok, also should I install my games on the SSD for faster performance?

Or this.

It's the same Acer E15 but with GTX 950M and SSD+HDD combo (SSD is reduced to 128GB from Amazon's version of 256GB tho) but you lose back-lit keyboard and CD/DVD drive if you compare it to Amazon's version. But hey, it's not bad for $599
