Hello. After much discussion with my parents, we decide that we would either buy a laptop for college (I'm almost 16, so you're right to suppose I'm still attracted to PC gaming (a laptop is still a PC, only mobile, right?) ) as a present for my birthday in November or later (but not later than the 2017 summer)...so I began to search for budget laptops which can play games (even in Low quality, 720p, playable, the story matters more, but it should be playable)..
So after much searching through local, Moldova stores, I found a laptop which costs about 9K MDL (that's about 450 USD). It's an Ideapad 100 and has an i3 5005u (U cpus aren't exactly powerhouse, I know, but still, better than my current desktop E7500) , 4 GB of RAM (will upgrade, that's no problem) and 920M (standard screen, 15.6 HD ready, 1TB HDD)...can it play at least GTA 5 Normal - Mid 720p 30+ FPS? ...are there any possibilietes I might find a better laptop? Searched on Ebay , but there prices are kinda high, maybe I can find an offer....Amazon is great, but still kinda hard to find delivers to Moldova, so I prioritize my seach in local stores, then international online retailers...
Max Budget: around 10k MDL, 500$ (still haven't decided the max budget, but it is about that...if you know laptops that are 600$ but will drop to around 500$ later, will gladly hear your suggestion...
BTW: I know till summer gtx 10 series might come in common budget laptops and will offer better performance (same for AMD) than 9th series, but it will still be a low-end gpu, so nothing more than 1020-1030ish will fit the budget,, I think..
