So my laptop has been having tons of problems. Without going too much into it, it's been blue screening among other things a lot. So I've decided to get a new laptop. I use this for gaming since I have to go between parents houses (I'm only 16) and it's too much money for 2 desktops. I'm not very good at know whats better in terms of laptop specs. I've researched a little but I still don't know. Also it shouldn't be too expensive, 450ish max.

So I come to you, TL. Could you help me find the best gaming(ish) laptop for under 450ish dollars?

How about 1 Desktop in small form factor with tower having a handle? You literally aren't going to get a gaming laptop for 450.

Also there is a HUGE thread for this...http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=137554

HD3000 is the minimum to play SC2 on low at reasonable framerates.

Would you be gaming at each house? What I mean is do you split time 50/50? IMO you can get a pretty powerful desktop machine for $500. You would have to build it and all but that's half the fun.

it's more 60/40 but I game the same at both houses unfortunately. I'd love to make a desktop and not have to have a laptop but it's not practical, sadly.

Ah I see. It is nearly the same for myself and a friend of mine. We both have desktops and it worked out for us. Sorry D:

This is for around $450; read the thread a bit, you can use some coupon codes to get some $20 off. It's 4gb ram, 1.5ghz Quadcore, AMD Radeon HD 7670M chip which is good enough to play all modern games.
