Best budget gaming laptop out of these?

himfour4 · Apr 22, 2016

I'm on a budget and I'd really like to stay in or under the $280 range for a laptop that I'll be doing some simple gaming with, I know with that budget my options are extremely limited so I want to make my decision count. Just going to be playing things like League of Legends etc. I don't need a massive HDD, just going to have a couple of games. The 2 I've picked out so far are:

http://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-i3552-4042BLK-Laptop-Celeron/dp/B019TTJ5QM/ref=sr_1_47?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1461328019&sr=1-47&refinements=p_n_availability%3A1248800011%2Cp_74%3A00000-39999

(The amazon one I'm looking at I chose "128GB SSD / No Optical Drive"

Which of these 2 would be the most bang for my buck, or do you have any others you'd suggest? Thanks!

Out of 2 Lenovo G50 will give you better performance in games

I agree I don't think the pentium in the dell will have the graphics power that the lenovo will have with the AMD.

What I would strongly advise you is to get a tiny bit more money and buy a laptop with i3 that has HD 5500 graphics

Or try to get some open box product like this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834234003R&cm_re=HD_Graphics_5500-_-34-234-003R-_-Product

it comes with open box, if anything is wrong you can return it within 30days for full refund

Unfortunately I really don't wanna go over the budget I have set, it's for a friend and it's limited. What if I threw http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=9874254&CatId=17 into the mix? Would you still suggest the previous mentioned Lenovo G50?

Nope, i wold take that lenovo with i3. I3 cup is stronger that A8 6xxx and HD 4400 igpu is slightly better that radeon R5 from particular A8 model
