Ive been trying to find a good everyday light gaming laptop under this tight budget. Id prefer it to be at the $500 range so ill be waiting for a sale. The only decent laptop i am able to find right now is the Lenovo Y40-80- 80FA001CUS priced at $699 a bit more than my budget but im sure there will be a bigger sale soon. Heres the link: http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/lenovo/y-series/y40-80/

From reading the reviews the screen isnt the most great. But i think everything else seems "okay". Im still not sure in this laptop yet. Any other better laptops i could get other than this? or should i just get this....

Let me tell you something. Laptop and gaming don;t fit together. You could get a console-killer PC for that money, and you could build one yourself with ease. There are a lot of builds online, one of my favourite ones would be Austin Evans Photon. It's really great for its price and would get you a LOT of performace compared to a laptopt. Trust me, it's really easy to build one. A 5 Y/O did it (not kidding). But since you are looking for laptop Toshiba Satellite S55T-B5273NR would ba a nice one. It packs a nice processor and would give you a stable gaming experince. Price is just a bit over 700$. Cheers :)

Before anyone can or should recommend anything, would you mind telling us what kind of gaming you are expecting to be doing? If you could provide a few different games and what settings you want to play them on, I could better tell you whether this laptop will fit your needs, or whether you need to find something else.

I though of building my own gaming station too but as for my situation right now being a student. I need it to be portable so that i could also play elsewhere ya know? haha. I check out the toshiba one but the graphics card isnt the best i prefer the one on this Lenovo in the linked i provided. any other you can suggest? :)

HP Pavilion 17-E0XX. Best one I could find with a decent GPU. The price is a bit over 700$, but you should be fine. Just remeber, don't game too much on it. Leave it to cool-down every 2 hours, or get s Cooler Master Pillow cooler for a laptop. Hope I helped out. Cheers :)
