So hi I made a thread a little while ago asking for a gaming laptop under $800 and thanks to you all's help my mom ended up going with a Lenovo Y40-80 Laptop.

So now I come back asking for assistance finding a gaming laptop under $500! Though it doesn't have to be for super gaming, just something that can at least handle them decently, maybe on minimum settings. I mainly want to find one that can be used to do scripting and graphics. Mostly graal work, but also to do a little gaming on it if one is not doing his scripting and pixel arts. This is also only going to be used for when one is traveling since one has a desktop that he can't carry with him everywhere, that way one can work and/or play games when one is not home.

I want to get this laptop for Dusty btw so don't tell him, it's a surprise.

Also once again, please no dell and no HP as I have had bad experiences with them in the past and do not want to burden one with the same bad experiences. Thanks!!

And yes, it may be more casual but casual gaming is still gaming.

Probably, yes. But if I were you I'd just save.

Well he doesn't need a super beefy laptop (and doesn't want one since he has a good desktop). He really only needs a laptop that he can work off of when he's not home, but also do casual gaming (probably mostly, if not only, Minecraft) if he wants.

He'll literally only use it if we go on trips somewhere, which isn't that often so would rather not spend more than $500 on a laptop he'll rarely use. Still want a decent one though, just not too expensive.
