Need help with a gaming laptop just under $500 if possible!
Last response: in Systems
I am trying to find for a friend a laptop that at least do some of the major games today, even at decent lower resolutions.
He only has about $500, but needs to spend as less as he can.
I was looking at these two sites to find deals and didn't know what I should be looking for....can anyone please give me a hand here:

Or HERE
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, even if you can tell me what componets I should be looking for.
Thanks!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... This is the best I could find that could play games, that being said not very well most likely on low graphic settings.
UPDATE: He just told me that he can bump it up to under $700 with some extra cash from work.
The games he is looking to play are Dragon Age, Oblivion, Left for Dead 1 & 2 and Baulders Gate.
What about this one? It's on sale now for about $599.

Yes, this looks good. I'm still poking around on HP, Dell & BestBuy & Amazon to see if there are any last second deals that can guarantee delivery before December 3rd. This one looks good with 1GB of GPU, but you would be able to upgrade the HD later on, wouldn't you? I was thinking about a HD with 7200RPM later on as a gift ;-)
But I should be looking at GPU to be at least 1GB with ATI or Nvidia, correct?
As well as processor speed & RAM.
Any particulars I should keep an eye out for?
