    Cheap laptop (under 600$) for mild gaming

    Hey guys, I’m looking to buy a laptop for my girlfriend so she stops hogging my pc. She mostly plays steam games with undemanding graphical specs so something that could run wow smoothly on low settings would be good. There are too many options and I’m overwhelmed. Definitely hard capped at 600 for price, decent battery life would be a plus and an hdmi port if that is typical of something like this price range. Thanks!

    I'm sure others will post more options out there. But right quick off the hip I found this MSI notebook on Bestbuy for a fair price.

    Although it looks to be soon gone, this HP Victus steps in just nicely with very similar specs.

    This AMD flavored HP Victus includes the same GTX1650 at Microcenter.

    Any of these will happily play WOW and many other games on medium to high settings on 1080p.

    I'd go with the victus if i had to choose. The ryzen chips are better on charge than their intel counterparts.

    Just going to fully recommend the HP Victus. I got mine on sale for $649.99 (512GB SSD, 16GB ram, 1650) runs games extremely well, has no overheating issues and looks great.
