Looking for a laptop/notebook that is sturdy, gaming, watch movies, and surfing the web/writing

[bernardblackNo1]

price range is 400-600

games: civilization, sims, and dont starve. Mostly fun indie multiplayer games.

Watch movies.

Sturdy enough to tote around and use in the kitchen for cooking.

Use it for cooking? You'll be needing a microbook then.

That is all.

You are going to have to be flexible on requirements or budget.

To fit your budget the only option is a AMD APU (a6/a8/a10) laptop for $400-500 range that will play most games on low-medium settings and its cpu will be noticeably slower in all day to day tasks.

To get a competent laptop you would need an intel cpu (preferably i5 or i7) plus a dedicated GPU (860 or better) and that will start out around $900 (and go up from there).

In the world of laptops: can game, adequate performance, <$850 - PICK 2
