Hi. I'm looking for a laptop for school and am willing to spend $300-500. My main thing too is that I like games like http://store.steampowered.com/app/258970/

What would be a good laptop that could run this with medium settings or at least low settings with a stable framerate. Cheapest option is best but if this is not possible please let me know how much I would have to spend and which laptop you would recommend.

Can't open that link from work, but any "gaming" laptop would start with a 960m video card and be about the $800 range for anything worth getting that won't be a disappointment. Your budget can get you a used system with that video chip, or a system that will run games on low settings. Something with a current gen i3 or i5 with onboard graphics or with an nVidia 940m video card. 940m video card systems will be at the top of your price range or a bit higher though. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834234037 http://www.amazon.com/Acer-E5-573G-15-6-Inch-GeForce-Windows/dp/B012IBOCRU
