An OK gaming laptop for 500$?

[zombiecheese]

Im not looking for some super computer ,but I want something nice. 500 USD is my budget ,yet I could spare up to 600. The #1 detail is that it can run games well and at an ok resolution. No specific brand im looking for and I do want a CD drive.

Lenovo Y460 for $529 excluding tax & shipping. Not sure how soon the ECoupon expires so you may need to make your decision pretty quick.

The Core i3 and Radeon HD 6550 should give you decent performance to run many or most games with medium graphics quality settings. At the very least a mix of low and medium quality settings.
