Heading off to college in the fall, so I need a new laptop for school. I also want to use it for gaming as well. Size isn't too much of a concern, it doesn't need to be super thin. It has to be able to run [URL="http://store.steampowered.com/app/268500/"]XCOM 2[/URL] at least on minimum settings. 1080p screen not mandatory. I'm looking at $500-$600. Is there anything that will fit the bill?
How about this: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834232793[/url]
Easily fits the system requirements for most games now.

This looks really good, I think I might end up going with it. Looks like the camera is pretty low resolution, which is a shame, but it looks like it's as powerful as I need, as well as a great price. Thanks.
I second that, but if you can swing some extra cash [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152949&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker,%20LLC-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=7930973&SID="]this[/URL] is worth it.

Do you really need higher than 640*480 for a webcam?

Eh, you're right, not really. I've heard bad things about ASUS tech support though. I might be inclined more towards that MSI machine because of it.

3 years ago ASUS was the way to go for gaming laptops, last year their build quality turned to crap and their support with it.
Now MSI is the new ASUS.
Lenovo also used to be great for general laptops, but they also went down alot. Dell kinda took their place.

Last year? Much before that IMO. Like around 2012 is when their gaming laptops started to go to shit.
