Now, I've never really shopped around for a laptop before, and since I don't think I could build one myself. I was wondering if you could help me find one. I would like for it to play most games on medium settings. I just want to make sure i'm buying something nice and not getting ripped off.
I live in the US btw.

I was thinking of this one. Should i get it?
Games on medium settings if you mean Counter Strike and maybe Killing Floor. $500 for a laptop is not enough. Look for at least $650 or so to get one with a dedicated GPU so you can actually play games.
Well, I'm only really looking to play League of Legends really and would the laptop that I posted be a good choice?

This one has a Dedicated card but does it really make much of a difference?

The CPU in that ASUS seems a little weak and I don't think it has Turboboost. Anyways, you are right in saying that League of Legends isn't hard to run and an integrated GPU can run it, but in the future you'll regret it. I still recommend that you get a better budget, but I'll find some laptops still.
Also do you have a desktop since if you don't really move a lot it would be better than a notebook.

Best I could find under $500
Republic of Gamer asus laptops are pretty powerful and cheap, although slightly bulky. I've seen one with a 1 gb 360gtx, i7 processor, 500gb hard drive and a bunch of other stuff for 560 bucks.
What where?

Really, if you could find one for that price that would be amazing. Also, Falco I am only really going to be using it up until I ship out for the Marines Aug. 22nd, after that im buying a much, much better one. I was also thinking of maybe getting a desktop. But would i be able to build a really nice desktop for $500?
For $500 you could have a decent desktop (as long as you don't need to buy a monitor too).
He wants a fucking laptop. GIVE HIM A LAPTOP DAMN IT!

I have a monitor already. 1600 x 900 21in.
how about an OS
[editline]wef[/editline]
oh god the 635 is out of stock
[QUOTE=Jaehead;27945744]how about an OS[/QUOTE]
I have a Genuine 64-bit Windows 7. So ya i have an OS.
Well since you have a monitor and an OS that makes the build a lot better.

Ya, I looked also and couldn't find anything for that cheap. So what could I get on a Desktop build for $500 if I already have the OS and monitor?

League of Legends, eh? Well it's not that demanding, but you can get a solid 35-40 on all Very High settings on this laptop if you save up $100 more:

The thing is that either I use the budget I have now to buy it or I can't use it all. So, its $500 now or $0 later. Its my parents tax return. If I don't use it right there then I might not be able to at all. But, I'll talk to them and try to see if I could get the budget for that.

Well, then [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115852[/url] is probably the best you can get.
Or if you are willing to take a small risk with recertified and get an amazing processor: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834200075[/url]

I liked the first one and the second one is only 14.1" and it only has a resolution of 1280 x 800. Would it really matter though?

Resolution doesn't really matter as much on such a small screen. Anyways I'd get the Dell.
