    Default Budget Laptop For Some Gaming

    I'm trying to get a laptop for a friend.

    Here is their limits:
    -Must run League of Legends smoothly.
    -Must be around $500.

    Now start suggesting!

    I don't want to recommend Intel HD but this might be your best bet. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230533

    Intel HD 4000 isn't so bad but I don't know how it will be with League of Legends.

    "Budget," "Laptop," and "Gaming" do not go very well together. :P
    But anything with Intel HD 4000 graphics should probably do just fine. F2P MMO's work okay with my HD 4000 graphics; runs a little too warm for me if using "high" settings. I believe AMD's integrated graphics are better than Intel's, however the tradeoff is a less powerful CPU.

    I hate to refer you to another forum, but try making a thread here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/what...-should-i-buy/.
    Read this first: http://forum.notebookreview.com/what...e-posting.html, and then more experienced members of that site can give better suggestions.

    If I remember correctly, the more popular "gaming" laptops are an HP Envy 6, Lenovo Y-something(sorry, forget the exact model number), or a Sager/Clevo(use a reseller if you get one of these). Of course, your friend will have to add ~$400+ to the budget for those.

    EDIT: This might help if you want a integrated graphics to dedicated GPU comparison: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...ew,3107-7.html

    EDITEDIT: Maybe this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834214862 or this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16834214870?

    League of Legends will run on practically any modern laptop at the $500 price point.

    Not sure if your friend got one yet, but the Lenovo the one guy posted on the other forum looks nice: http://tinyurl.com/9jwc6pe
