So a friend of mine has the option to get, as the title mentions, a laptop with an 800$ budget. Any suggestions for something that could run today's games decently (or any games for that matter)?
laptops =/= games

You could have him try and balance a tower, keyboard, mouse and monitor on his lap.
Other than that its a waste of money.
we talking US or Canada ?
U.S.
Also, I don't know why the rest of you are being dicks. I'm just asking for advice for getting a laptop that can play games. Comments like "it's a waste of money" are not needed.
Not being a dick though but I don't really recommend playing games on a laptop. Performance won't be really great compared to the desktop ones. But since you are asking for advice, I think maybe this is alright for you: [url]http://www.tomsguide.com/us/msi-gaming-notebook-gx630,news-2947.html[/url]
It's the best I can find for such a price. Maybe the others can help.
And don't expect it will run very well on high-end games unless you are willing to throw in another 600 and then we are talking.
Much appreciated.

laptop is from 2008, probably discontinued and it's outdated.
OP, look at these:

the Acer (middle link) seems to be the best.
I have the acer in the middle link except I got it for a steal of $699 with free shipping. Except the one I bought was this one [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834115732&cm_re=acer_5740g-_-34-115-732-_-Product[/url].
It was an excellent deal, it's a shame it's sold out right now.
But I would recommend the Acer 100%
wow, core i5 and a 5650 Radeon for 799? That's pretty good.
