I really want to get a new gaming laptop so I can play steam games with the right drivers and I would prefer it to be cheap. I thought of building a computer, but my friend told me that doing that would be too expensive.

do any of you guys recommend good gaming PC's/laptops for under 500 dollars?

then again I could always get a pass-me-down from my siblings for like 150 dollars.

what should i do?

BUILD A PC. You can get a decent PC for 500$ that will outdo any console, and it doesn't take that much skill as long as you mind the guides and have an old 720p dell monitor lying around.

There's that word again

Those horrid words strung together

That.. oxymoron.

"Gaming laptop"



Build yourself a nice desktop. I'm sure someone here wouldn't mind whipping you up a quick budget build on pcpartpicker.

I kinda want a laptop though, I don't know. I could build a PC, but I wouldn't know where to put in (theres no room in my room for it)

So i'd much rather prefer a laptop.

Alright so I guess I might have to go with a gaming PC. I use my Windows 7 HP for gaming (needs a lot of updates to play games)

I just need to find room in my room for it.

Well no, I'd actually like to sit in bed right before sleeping and be able to play some games while skyping or chatting with my friends.

pretty sure you can do something with a gtx 960 and an i5 4460 at your budget but I'm too lazy to look up the prices

"I kinda want a laptop though, I don't know. I could build a PC, but I wouldn't know where to put in (theres no room in my room for it)"

build an ITX PC- they're about the size of a console and they don't take much space- plus, you'll never, EVER get a good gaming laptop (which is an oxymoron, but whatever) for 500$, not even used

build a PC, you'll have to spend less time on maintenance afterwards

Building a PC is cheaper, but it's more difficult

If you're going to ask us for builds, give us a hard limit on budget, if you do that we can make a far better computer.

I don't really want builds, I was just kinda hoping there would be a good suggestion for a computer or laptop that can run and play games smoothly.

If you want a computer that builds and runs games smoothly, you build it yourself or pay a 50$ premium and have, say, NCIX.us or Micro Center build it for you.
