Well i need a laptop to hold me over until i get my desktop built and i was wondering what are some Ok laptops in the 400-600$ range that i can turn around and sell in like 2 months or so. I don't need it to run bf4 or anything just a few indie games. just the best bang for the buck.

 

any more info and i will tell you.

Best thing you can do as @JoshM said is just wait and spend the money on a desktop.  You'll waste too much money buying and selling a laptop a few months later.

This isn't for a main. I just need something to tie me over until i build my desktop. I really can't build my desktop right now due to life issues and this is so i can make it by without pulling my hair out.

 

 

Or maybe i can just tough it out for the next few month.. :unsure:

Well sorry for wasting your time then. I guess i'm just being impatient as i haven't had a desktop in well over a year now.

I never said that, it's just you want the best when you buy it, if your just buying a laptop to sell in 2 months your gonna loose money, which means less money towards you pc. I just trying to make a point

I guess i will just wait until i'm in the position where i can purchase my desktop and then be happy with a finally good setup.

 

 

Well dude, if you need a temporary device to do mission critical tasks like writing papers, work related stuff etc. then you will need something to do that.  If you just want one to play games on or go on YouTube then just wait to build your desktop (unless these things are your livelihood).  It comes down to that: need vs. want.
