Anything similar?

[HookedOnRice]

A buddy of mine is looking for a decent gaming/work laptop for thee upcoming school years and wanted to get some advice for a decent notebook for around 500$ or less. I came across this: http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834215120&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-RSSDailyDeals-_-na-_-na&AID=10521304&PID=4176827&SID=1wgml8qj8r596 but since it's out of stock, I was wondering if there was anything similar to it and also still 500$ or under. Thanks!

$500 and "decent gaming" frankly are mutually exclusive. I'd say $850 or so is the starting point for something that will get him thru college

Alright, well I suppose he isnt planning on playing Skyrim on max settings or anything. Just something that could get him by on a less demanding game like Combat Arms.
