Gaming laptop for under 650$

[Hagendaz]

I'm looking for a decent gaming laptop on newegg for under 650$ or less that'll be able to run wow at somewhat decent settings. Any input is and will be greatly appreciated thanks.

* I could spend more but I can't really justify it due to me having a great desktop, I just want a laptop for when I go on vacation for 3 months to visit my family in another state. So it's not going to be for raiding most likely, maybe running some dungeons, leveling some pvp etc.

Thank you.

as far as I know "gaming" notebooks for that price are hard to come by. Just take your desktop with you!

I wouldn't think you could find something decent for that little and tbh 3months seems long enough to justify packing the desktop up and bringing it with.
Could definitely build a decent mini itx rig for that

Thanks for your timely replies! I would bring my desktop but traveling by plane would be costly to pack. As for shipping it to myself, I've had a horrible experience with UPS trashing the comp I built a couple years back for like 4000$, still going through a financial battle with them (going over 1 year on that now) :|

You aint getting gaming laptop under 1000$, atleast one which runs wow atleast with high settings.
If you are there for 3months, i'd go for desktop computer.

=500€ + computer build + legal version of windows and price would be around 650~

That computer should run wow with like high setting.

At that price just shoot for whatever has the best CPU. You're not going to be playing with many graphics settings turned on, but you should be more than capable of handling 25 man raiding at decent settings without any big framerate drops.

You'd be paying a little more than 650 when shipping and stuff is concerned, but this should be more than capable of running 25 man raids at medium-to-high settings with the native resolution provided you turn down shadows/view distance/AA when raiding. You could likely play some modern games, but Skyrim/BF3 are completely out of reach.

If you do connect to an external monitor (which should be your ultimate goal), you'll have to turn down the settings a lot.
