I'm on a budget and have no room for a tower. I'm looking for a laptop that has a cd/dvd INTERNAL drive. That has enough power to run Skyrim with lots of mods. I have $748 and I am willing to wait for my next paycheck which will add about $400. If needed I can take from my savings and take $200. So a high performance laptop with an internal cd/dvd is what I am looking for. I don't know too much about computers but seeing as I am looking for a specific laptop I want to make sure it's worth it. I have been having no luck with searching and figured it would be easier for ask a community that knows what to look for in a laptop. Thank you.

well, I think you HAVE enough budget for a tower (with your next paycheck, possibly some savings). For your budget, I don't see you getting a very "well spent money on laptop".

bottom line...

Skyrim is pretty dated, yes I know you said about mods but the game is still aged. This makes it easier for a system to run it, meaning that you will not need to max everything out if you know what i mean.

well lets just show this, this is a very ROUGH .. mostly "price" reference list, I went very quickly with it. You can get a very nice PC for that amount of cash.

basically i5-7500, enough ram, decent GPU, OS, Monitor. (didn't select keyboard/mouse)
