I don't particularly like silver laptops... but if thats the laptop with best fit for my needs then okay lol
It seems the best gpu i can get would be gtx940m which seems perfectly fine for me, so i guess as long as the laptop has this or an equivalent/similar gpu that would be nice

You won't find anything for gaming in your budget for that does not have compromises in quality and speed.

For low to medium gaming look for a laptop with a 960m video card, to get up to higher spec you would go up from that. Your budget is about the 940m range, which is OK for games on low settings and lower resolutions.

Hi thanks for the reply! Yeah ive looked at 940m and what it can run, and it seems perfect for me. Is there any laptop you would recommend? I'm not too bothered about quality of the laptop as long as it does the job

The best laptop I know is the acer e5 with the gt 940m.
