Recommend me a decent laptop

I know nothing about computers. The maximum amount of money I plan on spending is $450 (although I'm willing to go up to $500 or even $550 if necessary). I plan on using this laptop for school and the occasional gaming. By gaming, I don't mean games that require a lot of "resources", for lack of a better term, such as Skyrim. I'm talking about games like Elder Scrolls Online and Minecraft. So, recommend me a laptop Flood.

  • If you can find a laptop with Intel 4000 Graphics then you should be fine... Not sure about the whole $550 though.

  • I'm partial to my Satellite, but I have a feeling no one's gonna agree with that. It's a decent laptop, so I don't see what the big deal is.

I don't know much about laptop graphics cards, but it they're the same as desktop cards, then you should be fine.

Also, OP. It can certainly play TES Online and Minecraft. I also believe Valve's Source game would work well also.

You can play a good amount of games, most not on high comfortable, but some.

    The laptop could actually probably run Skyrim around medium to high settings.

Although like I said, I don't actually need my laptop to be able to run these games so is there another one that you guys can recommend me?

Second, you can get a good laptop for gaming without much cost (see [url]http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Gaming_Powerhouse/G74SX/[/url], which can run Battlefield 3 on ULTRA at 40FPS) Sure they cost more, but you CAN HAZ BOTH!!1

  • He is considering a laptop with some gaming capability. Not a fullblown gaming laptop. Also OP, I'd still recommend the Lenovo. [Edited on 01.05.2013 6:01 PM PST]
