Laptop for league of legends

[Sky357]

Budget around 500$. Will mainly be playing league of legends and skyping at the same time. Fine with playing at low settings as long as it's smooth. Any suggestions?

As far as laptops go- you aren't gonna get anything special for $500, but here's a suggestion: http/www.amazon.com/Acer-V3-551-8458-Notebook-Computer-A8-M4500/dp/B00AVYPR7G/ref=pd_sim_sbs_pc_3

Thanks. League isn't really a demanding game but I am willing to a little higher than 500$ if I have to. Any other suggestions?

Go with a Haswell equipped system; either an i5 or - preferably - an i7. The new microarchitecture has a better iGPU, and that will suit your budget as well as your needs.

A dedicated GPU would be better, but you're looking at $700 - $800 starting to get a entry level/decent dGPU.

Rather weak processor... But nice gpu for the price I guess. I'd get it if I were worried about graphics.

i5 is a good CPU - that just has a low clock frequency. The U suffix on the model (3337U) means ultra low power, if I recall correctly.

And the GPU is actually not very capable.

But is it still better than onboard graphics?

Oh sure - especially since it's comparing the latest generation NVidia cards to last gen Intel HD 4000. For about $70 more than the Acer, MSI has their CX61 laptop with a 730M and a better i5 (3230M).

"Budget gaming laptops" are in demand, but not in circulation.

"Budget gaming laptop" is really 3 oxymorons in itself anyway
