Hi I live in St.Joseph, MO, USA. I was wondering what is the best laptop for me under 500$ or right around there. I play games like League of Legends, Minecraft and so on. What laptop would be best for playing games like that and maybe some more demanding graphic games. I Highly pref that it could be bought in town at like best buy, Sams Club Walmart and so on. also that it doesn't have a small screen. Other than that I just want a laptop that will give me the best performance for gaming possible. Oh and could you also tell me what kind of performance I would get on league on the laptop that you choose.

A laptop with an APU (either a10 or a8) would be a good option. They do get pretty hot but at that price range you can't have everything. If the heat gets too unbearable consider getting a cooler.
i recommend the coolermaster Xpal slim.
(goes for about $20)

i personally have the a10-4600m and it more or less runs a decent amount of games (with lowered settings on newer titles), except the most demanding of them.
However for league i was able to get around 30 fps with settings mixed between high and medium (shadows on low) even on power saver where the cpu was underclocked to 1.3ghz. On high performance, league maxed out was playable with the frames ranging from 40 - 60 fps.
Hope this helps!
and as lowriderflow said its better for you...

you're not going to get anything with a dedicated video card for that price.
so you're looking at 15.6" (doubt you'll get a 1080p resolution for that price range)
probaly an i3 CPU.


Rather than ask us to look at every store in St. Joseph... why don't you gather a few options in your price range and post links, then we'll tell you which is the best bang for the buck
