i found the 150 most bought laptops and threw them into a spreadsheet to find you the best gaming
laptops under 500 and guess what it worked i found some really nice options your wallet is going to
thank you for watching this video if you are interested in any of these laptops you will find
their links in the description below so here's the spreadsheet and here are all of the laptops i
will quickly explain how i chose these laptops and show you what games you can expect to play on each
first of all the main criteria in a gaming laptop is the gpu then comes the cpu and the ram if you
take a look here you will see different rankings i gave for each gpu i used the gtx 1650 as my
baseline and has a value of one after finding my baseline i started going through all the laptops
their specifications and their rankings i put them all into the spreadsheet if you are wondering
how i assigned these rankings well 20 hours of research basically but first we have a problem
look at the following list as you see the top section shows you different games that are played
with a gpu with a ranking of 0.1 and it's already having a really hard time playing most games
even at 720p on lowest game settings red means you cannot play the game orange means you will not
really be happy playing the game blue is playable and is fine and green means it's pretty good
at these settings so as you see the 0.1 ranking gpu's are not going to be able to play many games
the next range is gpu's between 0.27 and 0.38 once again here is a quick view of what games you will
be able to play with this gpu ranking at 1080p low to medium settings it's already much better
and can play most games to a reasonable degree and only the high demanding games aren't playable on
it and the next are going to be on the better side these are above 0.38 ranking and will be able to
play almost all games at a reasonable playing style if you play it on 720 to 1080p medium
settings you should be able to get a reliable 30-60 fps on most games and more on some others
so let's have a quick overview of each of these laptops so we know more of their
specifications shall we oh by the way if you are liking this video make sure to subscribe
as i have some more videos comparing higher budget laptops and different gaming products also if you
disagree with my choice feel free to write it in the comments or if you found one hella amazing
cheap laptop that i'm missing it would be very appreciated if you mentioned it so coming up in
number one is a laptop with a gpu strength of 0.12 the dell latitude e5570 here are the quick specs
quick note is that this laptop is a renewed laptop which means that the company takes back a laptop
make sure it's working at least 95 percent as good as it should and then they resell it so once again
this laptop will be able to play the following games it's nice that it has 8 gigs of ram but
you most likely won't use all of that in your games because the bottleneck is the cpu and gpu
sadly at this budget range we cannot be too picky but this laptop has overall good stats the 256
gigabyte hard drive is also really nice because in this range most others are 126 gigabytes or
even 64. here are the available ports then comes the 0.27 gpu ranking laptop the cheapest laptop
on the list the hp 14-inch laptop look if you aren't planning on having a lot of big games
or you're okay with getting an external hard drive that's going to be plugged in while you're playing
then this laptop is going to be much better than the first option it's really cheap and here are
the specs this laptop has everything great in it but the relative things to look at are
1. the size is 14 inches which is 1.6 inches less than the standard laptops not a big deal
for the price it comes at and 2. it only has 64 gigabytes of storage which is kind of annoying
as mentioned earlier the solution is an external hard drive it can play the following games
here are the ports number three is the best overall laptop in
the list the dell inspiron 15 with gpu ranking of 0.5 with the following specs
it plays the following games key things to notice are hdd hard drives are much slower than ssd hard
drives which means longer game loading times it's up to you if you want more memory or speed because
both options are available the second thing is that this laptop has higher resolution than the
previous options and it plays at full hd here are the laptop ports number four is the best
acer aspire 5 laptop option with a gpu ranking of 0.5 which plays these games the hard drive on this
list only has 128 gigabytes which is not amazing but this laptop is cheaper than the last option
which might make the trade-off worth it for you here are the laptop ports and finally in number
5 the best hp laptop with a gpu ranking of 0.5 as well the hp 15 inch with the following specs
it plays the following games and all the specs look good it has good ram good storage good gpu
and cpu for the price this is a really good option and here are the ports now if you're
looking for better laptops than these then make sure to check my next video out over here
for different budgets hope this video was helpful to you and your piggy bank and enjoy your gaming
