Hello,

My GF is moving to Germany and she needs a laptop for simple media stuff and some relatively light gaming (hearthstone, diablo, PoE, Dota 2 etc). Since I'm a PC person I don't know much about laptop hardware so I can't be sure how video games will work on certain laptops. Her budget is 600 € max.
So my first question is, what would you recommend in that price range? (Laptop can be bought in Germany or EU generally)
My second question is: I already got a recommendation from a friend to buy this laptop http://www.nabava.net/search.php?tp=0&q=X550JK The site is in Croatian and the price is roughly 600 € but I can't seem to find that laptop ( ASUS X550JK, 15.6"(1366x768), Core i5-4200H, 4GB, 1000GB, DVD-SM, Nvidia GTX850M 2GB) anywhere else but in Croatia with those specifications, how is that possible =/

I'd also like to add that the laptop might be connected to a monitor or TV for a better viewing experience of movies or even video games if the rig can handle it.

Thank you in advance for your help! :)
 
Thanks for fast replies guys! You have been helpful. I got one more question before I close this thread. What are good alternatives to that laptop and is it possible to find something under 600 € that is not terribly worse than the one you linked me.
