I already have a semi-gaming desktop but i need something more portable to go with on the go. Im wondering what the cheapest laptop for games and general use is, and where to find it at? I like amd because its usually cheaper or better than NVIDIA in some cases.

please also include the price. I would prefer to buy 2nd hand or refurbished to save on costs if i even do get the money for a better laptop.

    You can also connecta portable screen for 100-200 bucks and have effectively 2 monitors. This starts breaking weight and size of "normal" laptop (only one screen but higher resolution and size than just the deck), but still costs significantly less for quite the bang-for-buck ratio.

    I did use mine for a trip like a laptop for a full trip once. My conclusion is that for me personally a laptop (also with additional screen) is better, but I also happen to have one. I'm not sure I'd buy one already having the deck+monitor+keyboard+mouse.
