Need Help Picking a Budget Gaming Laptop

[Jack_103]

Here is the Laptop:http/www.amazon.com/Asus-X555LA-BHI5N12-i5-5200U-SuperMulti-Windows/dp/B019TYCXBQ/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1455200090&sr=1-2&keywords=asus+x555la

Here is the other one with an AMD A10

These are some I found what do you guys think? Any laptop you recc for the 550 dollar range?

BASICALLY: I want to be able to play NBA2K16 at High COD at High/ Medium GTA 4 at High/Medium and GTA 5 at medium. Any laptops in the 550 dollar range that can do that? This one is only 400 and I think it has pretty good specs.

The iGPU is rather weak. You would be better off with an A10 laptop because of the better graphics.

So will this laptop be able to run these games? What laptop you guys recc. to get that can run these games? I am hoping for something that can run the GTA games at medium 2k at high and cod at high.

That laptop has no dedicated GPU and will have to use the built-in intel HD 5500 graphics for gaming. Unfortunately, it is very bad at playing games. You can look up some benchmarks to the bottom of this page:

In that budget range you might find a laptop with a GTX 940/950m, or equipped with an AMD A8 or A10 APU. The AMD APU's also offer pretty good performance from the built-in graphic chip.

This is what I found with an AMD A10. Where should I look for one? Can someone recc. me one?

 

[Jack_103]

So I think i either want number 2 or number 3 (as listed above the one with the AMD A10 or the 6th gen i7 one)

I personally this is one of the best options at the moment for under $550:

When opening the link configure tha laptop with the i5 and 940m GPU, and also the IPS display. I don't think you can find any other laptop in this price with an IPS display and a dedicated GPU.
