Looking for Cheap Gaming Laptop, Newbie to PC Gaming.

[Shadyhere]

I'm looking to get a new lap top. In particular I want to be able to run NBA 2k15 smoothly. I dont need the highest settings either, just enought to look solid. Is it possible to get a cheap gaming lap top that could handle thia at around $600?

I get this if I had to ASAP but it is $629.

Acer isn't the greatest brand but you can play NBA on the highest settings. A good Lenevo weekly offer or something else might be cheaper with a I7 and better screen. I would wait and post on another site like Tom's Hardware. I might even be someone responding your question there as well but as you can notice I'm not the best at it.

I am fairly sure EA Access counts as a deal and if not I apologize.

The graphics card and processor aren't great for the price. Honestly I would look else where since it only run it at high at best.

Gonna check at the site you gave me for suggestions. Also will check New Egg.

That being said, what should I look for in a solid gaming lap top? I can't really tell what will be best. Should be of similar specs of yhe lap top you recomended?

At a cheap price ofcourse. No more than $600 range.

For the price point I go for a I5 or I7 and a decent graphics card. Check this for the one to get graphics card wise.

So what are you talking about give me an example of your max $699.99. Also how long will you keep it?

I think at the 700ish you could get a higher end graphics card and a fourth generation I7. Honestly a desktop would be better if possible.

I was referring to the link you gave me earlier about the Acer Aspire laptop. As I stated earlier, I'm really just looking to run one game in particular and thats NBA 2k15. I'm trying to stay in the $600 range but, I'll consider if it goes slightly higher.

The link you gave me helps me get an idea of what to look for. I am looking more for a portable decive which why I prefer a laptop. Again, I won't be heavy gaming. Just want enough to run NBA 2k15 smoothly.

Appreciate the links and suggestions. Any advice is welcome.
