[quote=Baekho]@SoulXIV: im pretty sure most people already have a monitor, ,mouse, keyboards, and all those etc items..[/quote]

Considering how the TS wants a laptop, it's likely a computer for his own personal use (let's forget the whole mobility aspect of an laptop for now), while the computer he is currently on is shared among his family. If he build a desktop for himself, he can't just take the family monitor, mouse, speakers, keyboard, OS, etc. for himself. He will need to buy it, unless he got stashing away somewhere which is probably unlikely.

Out of every laptop I had try to configure and build, I never was able to make it cost effective. If I attempt to get a Clevo P150EM whitebook and configured it, there will be other reseller such as AVADirect, Eurocom, Sager, Malibal, Mythlogic, etc. is able to sell the same laptop at an affordable price than what I could have attempted to myself using the same whitebook.

If you are able to configure me a laptop that will be "much cheaper" than what I could get it from a Clevo reseller, please show me one.

[quote=qwan456]A gaming desktop that priced at $1200 will be able to run every game on the market, assuming that you didn't specs it out poorly.

IIRC, the Razor's specification has an GT 555m. Specification-wise, it's as good as a ~$1000 laptop. Even the Alienware laptops is priced better than that Razor.[/quote]

[quote=MrKratos]I got one for $1,200, and it still can't run some super major games. (Desktop)
I would say if you want a good one, it'll run you a minimum for $2,000. (Desktop)

P.S - The best will run you $4,000, build and developed by Razor. (Laptop)[/quote]

You can buy a high quality microwave with that.

[quote=Baekho]I searched up on youtube for a desktop that is 500$. You have to build it. It can run starcraft 2 on ultra setting[/quote]

The Good Enough Gaming PC needs a $100 monitor and $100 OS, making it $700.

400$ isn't going to get you anywhere.

Now that we got the subject that getting a laptop for gaming in the $400 price point won't get you anything very good aside from a few APUs laptops, what games exactly you wish to play? Also, are you able to raise that budget?

info on graphics card:
http://www.notebookcheck.net/AMD-Radeon-HD-6520G.55734.0.html

plays Call of Duty 4 at 43 fps on med and WOW at 51 fps. GTA 4 is barely playable even on low setting.
don't expect to be able to play graphic intensive games such as skyrim or Star Craft

If you are going for gaming I suggest you don't get a laptop. Save up some more money and go for a desktop

$400 is cutting it low for a gaming [b]desktop.[/b]

$400 for a laptop gets you crap.
