| Damn, that sucks. Well, gaming laptop under 500$? Well, dedicated gaming laptops tend to be very expensive. Would it not be better to make a custom desktop? Found this: https://laptopninja.io/finding-the-best-gaming-laptops-under-500-dollars/ | |

| Windows 7? I'm afraid no new laptops use it. Also, why not getting a W8.1 laptop and, if u want to, install 7 on it? Or just use 8.1. | |

| There are no good gaming laptops for under 500, maybe 700 will get you a decent one.
If you actually want a gaming machine, build a desktop, they are much cheaper. | |

| Dan, you can buy decently used laptops off of Ebay. Just search around, not many of has have been through more than a few laptops, so we can't offer the best advice. Just Google "Best cheap used Windows 7 laptop" or something like that, many other people are after the same kind of laptop you are, so there are bound to be questions and answers that would help you. | |

When u said "new", I thought you were referring to the latest models. I'll look around. But why don't you want W8? | |

| W8 is hard to work with imo. But I recommend buying new because most old or used models I've worked with always had issues with drivers not being compatible and internet connectivity issues | |

Why do you hate Apple? They make really good laptops. Have had my MacBook for many years now, and not a single issue. | |

Wow it didn't last long. I'm sending my vaio in for repair and i got it literally days before we met, lol. If you wanna try and get something, try and get a vaio. they all have W7 i think and they don't make them anymore. They're really good quality and mine hasen't let me down other than my parents downloading a few viruses, bloatware and hell knows what and some cosmetic damage due to their inexperience with technology. - Xx~{FGN}OwnerDan~Dino~xX. wrote:

Most have HDMI out. Wouldn't worry too much about that. Mario is right you can install W7 i.e. buy a genuine copy of W7 and install from a disk or ISO file and put it as your official operating system. I've never done it but Alex has (so we know its easy as hell to do because he's mentally challenged, jk). I'd recommend: -Vaio -Acer -Samsung In that order from my experiences and those of friends. - Anubis wrote:

Why do you hate Apple? They make really good laptops. Have had my MacBook for many years now, and not a single issue. Apple is more of a fashion statement these days. Very few people buy them for their intended purpose. Schools buy them to make themselves look high tech, kiddies buy them to make themselves look cool. Nobody cares about their tech which is on a par with other competitors at best. Apple tbh was only ever good when it was good at multimedia and Imacs were the pinnacle of editing sound and video and ipads and iphones could complement that with unique software. Now..everybody makes that kind of software and more or less any brand can compete and its just not worth paying for something which isn't better than a cheaper alternative. | |

Np. I'll try think of more. EDIT: What i said about Acer before was based off me looking at Acer laptops when i bought my vaio and reading some good reviews recently. My friend has a samsung which he bought same time as i got my vaio. His is only intel i3, but works really well and is very fast and good quality. He uses it for everyday tasks and Steam + Origin gaming as well. Kinda like mine in the sense it can handle both. | |

| I have a 13 MacBook Pro with 8gb of RAM and and AMD graphics chip. I run windows 7 through boot camp because its just great. It runs games smoothly (120 fps GTA 5) and is probably the fastest laptop I have ever owned. I never use the MacOS though because its just honestly atrocious. It was the best $1500 I ever spent.
And I still look cool. | |
