Curious. A computer is the next priority. I need something that's portable, yet can run most things on low pretty efficiently (I'd say 25 butter smooth frames is fine by me).

I want the Gateway LT41P07U, it's small, light, and has a touchscreen.

Slower than my current PC, but I don't really heavy game on computer anymore.

That "laptop" has a 1.43 GHz processor. One core.
Single core CPUs are dead. Nobody uses them, and they are bad news for gaming.
Also, 2 GB of RAM? Why?
I don't think the thing even has a video card.

It's dual core.

And 2GB RAM. I have 2GB of RAM in my current PC.

It's integrated I believe.

And I would consider the ASUS X102BA-BH41T as well.

If you're looking to get a cheap laptop, save up more money.
Get a laptop without a touchscreen. Touchscreen = more money.

I just hate the "Metro" layout without a touch screen. I know I can downgrade, but that's an extra $70 as I don't have 7 on my PC yet.

Also, like I said, I am not a heavy gamer.

Get a windows 7 PC, then. Or, get windows 8.1

Also, it doesn't matter if you're a heavy "gamer" or not, you're going to just be playing flash games with 280 dollars.

Get an Asus Transformer Book T100.
Its price ranges from 300-400 but you could possibly get one for less.

It has a quad-core processor and you can ACTUALLY REMOVE THE SCREEN FROM THE KEYBOARD

You aren't going to find anything for under 250.

It's at least a quad-core with an SSD from a decent brand.

I like that Transformer Book. The speeds aren't very far from what I have right now, and it does seem very portable and it has a touchscreen.

$300 dollars, but it's probably worth it.

My laptop, w/o a 1 year warranty, was around $700.

1080p on low-medium, 120 and higher FPS with the right Nivida settings.

If you want something cheap that is clearly going to be used for basic things if performance doesn't matter then get the nexus 7 instead

@Rock
Xbox One- $500
PS4- $400

I am afraid to go over $500, or heck, $300 because I know if I save a little more, I can get a next gen console.

I am a console person to be quite honest.

I would rather get a Windows tablet or an iOS tablet over Android right now.

They removed all the good games I wanted.
