Buying Younger 12 Year old Brother Laptop

[Guest]

His birthday is coming and he wants a laptop. I was looking at the Dell Inspiron M531R. Is it fast? Can the APU run games?

AMD A8-5545M @ 1.7Ghz
8GB DDR3L-1333Mhz
1TB 5400RPM
Radeon Graphics Card

He's 12 years old...that will be super kick ass for him.

It's not fast, but it should be good enough for medium and low settings on most games.

That should be good. Maybe you can recommend a price for us so that we can maybe choose a computer that will run a bit faster for the same price?

It costs $500.

Well it's a bit tough to recommend anything in that price range for gaming. This would be a little better for gaming but might cost you a bit more

How much are you willing to spend?
