or there is the same laptop with 940m 2GB for 100$ more.

You'd want at least a 960M for gaming; preferably a GTX 1050/1050ti. You're at about $700 price range there.

The 920m/940m are not really intended for gaming and won't do well.

Ye i know But i allready have my gaming desktop pc.. but i cant take it on college. I'm a poor student from summer work i will get only like 770$. I was thinking about selling my desktop pc.. but i love him

I would look to see if you can pick up a used laptop with at least a GTX 950M and 4-core processor then. Or just game on the desktop and buy a laptop for laptop purposes. Gaming isn't going to be an enjoyable or smooth experience with a ULV processor and 940MX.

The following two laptops are the least expensive with a 940mx on Amazon that I can find. The Lenovo IdeaPad 510 is new for $540 while the Acer is refurbished for $443.

Hmm.. there is a laptop with g4560? https/www.amazon.co.uk/HoMei-Graphics-Pentium-Dual-Core-Bluetooth/dp/B06WWF11TK/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1498015165&sr=8-3&keywords=950m

The GTX 950m is a pretty decent GPU. I would call it a "high end" mainstream GPU. The GTX 1050 is currently considered to be the "entry level" gaming GPU; it's performance is between the GTX 965m and GTX 970m.

The Pentium G4560 is actually a dual core desktop CPU with Hyper Threading. Not sure what the technical differences is between that and a mobile Core i3-7100u is, but since it operate at up to 3.5GHz it should have similar or better performance than an i5-7200u. Since the dual core G4560 is a desktop CPU it is considered to be a power hog in the laptop arena with a TDP of 54w vs. a TDP of 15w for the i3 and i5 I mentioned. The laptop may run hot because of that. As a comparison, a quad core i7-7700HQ laptop CPU has TDP of 45w.

I hope laptops with Ryzen will come in 2 months and prices will drop
