Best light-gaming laptop under $600

[CtrlAltINTEL]

Hey everyone, my laptop is starting to break down, and I really need a new laptop. I was going to go for a macbook air, but you know, screw that because window rules. Anyways, I really need a laptop that can handle light-gaming, and probably just some window browsing and really, I just watch YouTube and Netflix, so. Anyways the cheaper the better, I'm not sure whether they have SSD's at this price point but an SSD included would be nice. Thanks!

yeah, it used to be that APUs were good alternatives to intel graphics. but at your budget, Nvidia GTX950 and 940 become possible and even the 940 beats out AMD's best APU graphics nowadays...

What are you talking about? MX (GDDR5) versions of lower end-mainstream mobile GPUs (920m, 930m, 940m) were recently released to fit the low end-mainstream SKUs (920MX, 930MX, 940MX). Doubt there will be any Pascal parts anytime soon, if at all falling into that category for mobile. No real info available about a 1050m either.

better wait until the gtx 100m is released . this is bad timing for buying gaming notebooks.

and ofc 1050m is coming ... just be patient..

the Pascal is built on 16nm technology , very low power and perfect for notebooks.

GT1040m , 1030m , 1020m are coming

the 940mx are 28nm technology ...

expect the gtx 1050m to draw same power like gt940mx ...

gt1040m must come ...

Actually there is no reason to get a X40M or X30M product because they are terrible when it comes to price to performance

The difference between a 1050 or 1060 and a 1040 is not enough to compensate the much slower card

Especially in your contries where laptops are not really pricey and you can always afford it
