Gaming laptop between 360-500$

[alii98]

Hi,i want to buy a laptop that i could use for gaming most of the time that is between 360-500$,right now i found Acer Aspire F5-573G-35H9,it has i3 6006U,4gb ddr4 ram probably at 2133,1280x768 resolution and gtx 940mx 2gb
in my country it costs 486$,and i was thinking that if i buy it,i could add a 120gb m.2 sata ssd and 4gb of ram so i could have 8gb,and it would be in dual channel,what do you guys think?is there something better?if there is please give me a link on amazon.co.uk

You aren't going to find a "gaming" laptop anywhere near $500USD. But if you do want a laptop that performs the best while gaming look for AMD laptops. I've heard they have better iGPU performance over intel.

Gaming laptops start at around $750USD for lower performance ones.

If you can find a laptop on sale either open box or refurbished, laptops with gtx 1050's start at $750.

they don't need to be gaming laptops,i just want to use it for gaming,and i don't want to go for amd,as the cpu is old,and gpu weaker than nvidia,if there isn't something good at that price,then what i got is the best

For the equivalent of $486 USD I would say that laptop has pretty good specs. It's capable of playing games t 1366 x 768 resolution which is the lowest resolution screen that are used in modern laptops.

Firstly i'd not recommend you this laptop as it has an i3 and that too with an U series chip.
*U* series means Ultra Low Voltage thus it has a longer shelf life on the cost of lower performance!
Although the 940Mx GPU belongs to low tier of gaming mobile chips but yeahh it will manage your casual gaming!
If possible go for Asus ROG laptops as they pack some serious tech at quite an affordable price tag!
Also you can look for an pre owned laptop on ebay.com and you might get lucky enough to get a gaming beast at your expected price range
Thanks and regards

Yeah... good luck finding a functional Asus ROG laptop for $360 to $500.

i think i will mess a little bit with intel extrem tuning utility,lower the voltage and increase the clock speed,and still maintain a safe temperature

only if i am supposed to(max resolution,lowest graphics and max view distance but still below 40 or not a stable even 30)
