    Budget Laptop ~ $500-800

    I just need a laptop that doesn't have to be high-end can perform in games in low-med quality and doesn't have issues.

    I was debating on lenovo y40 but there is a lot of talk of a design flaw and no ventilation.

    Bump.

    I know this contradicts what I asked for but do you guys think that the GS60 is worth it by MSI?

    It's hefty amount of money but is it worth the investment? I already have a Macbook Retina but it doesn't really perform in gaming I have spent $1600 I intended to use it for mobile development for iOS and iOS emulation.

    But, I no longer need that. And I want to do some gaming whenever I need a dose from coding. And macbook obviously is not compatible with some of the games unless I download windows but the keyboard interferes with most games and does not really perform well because of course this laptop is not made for gaming and I'm also looking for a mobile light weighted laptop so I think the GS60 would be great.

    I heard about issues with Lenovo Y40 but it is priced really cheap.

    Need opinions. Basically I'm saying I'm looking for a lightweight gaming laptop cheap if possible if not, I'm willing to still invest if it is worth it.

    If you are going to spend that much on a laptop, get one with an 800M instead of an 870M.

    Isn't a 870M a 800M series graphics card? Did you mean instead of an 770M.

    The latest GS60 Ghost has an 860M which is upgradable to 870M. I believe and it is what I intended to buy.

    You could try a Lenovo G505s which should be able to handle some games at medium settings.

    • 6 GB DDR3 RAM
    • 1 TB 5400 rpm Hard Drive
