Top 3 gaming laptops under $500
If you are an avid gamer, and don’t like the cumbersome bulk of a desktop PC, then there are some sweet laptops out there that can perform just as well as an amped up desktop. To qualify as a gaming laptop, it must contain a high-end graphics card, a peppy CPU, a bright and vibrant display and of course enough RAM to take the heft of games.
Despite the fact that these components will cost a pretty penny, driving the price of the laptop up, there are a few that fall in the budget category (under $500) and still do the job like a pro!

E5-576-392h Acer Aspire E 15 – $379
