Solved! Basic Gaming Laptop

[pbsoccerboy]

I need a laptop under 500 Dollars for basic gaming, such as Minecraft on High settings, or Portal on low settings. Keep it under 500. Any good laptops? Preferablly 15 inch

While im not sure what the system reqs for Minecraft are, ANY laptop with intel's integrated graphics on the i5/i7 CPUs can passably run Portal on low, which means your selection for a laptop that meets those requirements are... pretty much limitless, heh 😛 Any other requirements?

Well, how about tf2 on low / medium?

Actually, i think the intel's integrated HD3000 can probably run Source-based games on medium/high without problems...

Yeah, the Intel HD 3000 graphics core should not have any problems running games using the Source Engine (like TF2) on at least medium settings.

It's performance is slightly better than a desktop Radeon HD 5450.
