Good laptops?

I'm going to get a new laptop but I'm not sure what I should geat and what the best deal would be. I'm looking to spend at most $500... This will be used to somewhat game on and homework. If any one could give me some advice, that'd be great. Thanks

 

I know it's a bit out of your price range but only by 30$. Good deal for a broadwell.

Thanks for the input but the link only takes me to their main page.. I'll sift through and investigate some laptops there.

 

The honest truth that brand's don't want you to know: You're paying for the name.

Hypothetically, you bought an Alienware laptop for $1400.
It'd cost you $600-800 to build a laptop with the same exact specs.

That's how the market is. I know it's barely answering your question and you may not know how to 'build' a CPU, but it's fairly simple and even moreso if you know someone who's good with hardware like that.

Seriously, spend your $500 and a bit more time and have your end result be a laptop that would've costed you $900-$1100.

 

It's going to cost you around 600-800 bucks to find a decent laptop for gaming. Lenovo laptops are great if you're on a budget and ASUS RoG if you have no budget.

for $500 if you want something to game on, get a used ASUS ROG laptop off of craigslist. People selling them there all the time. I got one (it was $1000 but I traded him my $600 build gaming tower and $125 cash).

 

Lenovo?

 

Could you refine your terminology of "somewhat" game? Like what games? If you're playing Runescape or the likes, you won't need an extremely crazy dedicated graphics card. If you're trying to play FarCry 4 on it, then that's a different story.

I think what it's going to come down to is buying used/refurbished for that price range to push out the performance you're looking for either way.

 

I used PCSpecialist, shipping to US was pricey but runs FC4 FIFA15, WOW, RE6 ETC. The shipping was worth it when we don't have anything as good as PCS in the US.

 

Get a Aspire e 15 touch core i5 it loaded and great for gaming.

 

Not sure if this is an option but you can build a pretty solid pc for the same price and better performance.

 

Amazon typically has the best prices.

 

It might be a bit late now but Lenovo's got some pretty good deals going on right now on some laptops with top-of-the-line new hardware. Check out their deals section on their site.

 

I have a lenovo it's great, only problem is it comes installed with a lot of bloatware, and malware called "superfish".

Just gotta delete some programs, and you got yourself a fine laptop

 

Get a Aspire e 15 touch core i5 it loaded and great for gaming, its what im using right now and hell I never have problems with it, only that the touch screen is a bit glitch sometimes.

 

Shit processor and shit graphics. You must not be doing anything heavy on it. There's no way an i3 clocked at 1.9GHz and Intel's 4400 graphics could run anything other than like LoL and Runescape. If OP wants to do anything other than very light gaming, he'd be better off getting a cheaper laptop with older hardware that runs stronger than the new shit coming out. I saw a laptop on Kijiji the other day that was selling for $2000 a couple years ago, now going for $600. That beast could run anything, even now.
