Currently looking for a laptop, this won't be my main PC so not looking to spend too much on it. I will be mainly using it for visualstudio and maybe a little bit of Photoshop as well. I would really like if it can run league at a decent frame rate as well. I have around $500 to spare

What size would you prefer also more power or more battery life and portability?

I've been looking around online for MQ laptops but most of them are out of my price range

You can buy a M CPU laptop and then buy a MQ CPU to swap it
