Decent Laptops for Twins

[ClonicMechanics]

I'm looking for Two laptops that would be decent enough for older valve games, Minecraft, and youtube vids. For $300 to $350, it's for my younger brothers that are just getting into PC gaming.

Can you stretch to $400? Since this laptop would be an aight deal with its Ryzen 3 APU

Your budget is really tight. Either go used/refurb or get a laptop with some sacrifices

Actually, that looks like a good deal for the money.

Aspire 5 is a nice budget option

The R3 2200U in the laptop I showed you would stomp all over that laptop.

Then I shall introduce you to the beautiful machine that is my Envy X360

All rounded well preforming laptop, The R5 2500U has enough GPU power with its Vega 8 to play games decently and is overall a very pretty machine. However I would recomend either an SSD model or getting the cheaper HDD model and upgrading it with an NVME SSD down the line

Something a bit shitty as a first PC is a good thing imo because you learn how to deal with things and you really value nicer things later on
