While budget laptops are definitely not meant for gaming, it’s still possible for you to try your hand at some lightweight games, such as The Sims, Half-Life, League of Legends or more, on the laptops we recommend underneath. As for the gaming performance, it’ll be decent enough due to a dedicated graphics card. Here are our picks:
- ASUS R542BP-GQ058T
While gaming laptops are hard to come by in such a price range, laptops with AMD’s APU feature dedicated graphics memory which is good enough for casual gaming. With that in mind, the Asus R542BP-GQ058T is a great laptop for gamers on a budget as it packs in a dual core A9 APU chip with 2GB of dedicated AMD Radeon R5 graphics.
