Hey I'm looking for a cheap gaming laptop, and I've heard this one is good for the price. I'm not too good with laptop specs and such, so could someone tell me if this laptop is good for gaming for the price it's being sold? Thanks

Answer
/For the price/ yes. The Radeon 7640G GPU integrated into the AMD A8-4500M is one of the better-performing GPUs you'll be able to get for ~$400.
If the price goes back up to $500, then no. Check out some of the "Gamer's Choice" laptops listed under the "Budget" section of the "Quick Picks" in the sidebar on http://reddit.com/r/SuggestALaptop/

Does anyone know an affordable, cheap, gaming laptop?

Please do not tell me to get a desktop, those are useless to me since I'm always traveling.
The thing is, I don't know nothing of computers, I only know basic things.
Anyways, I'm looking for a laptop, Windows 7 (any edition from Professional and up) 64-Bit, able to run games that need hardcore requirements like Skyrim, CoD, Battlefield, and GTA at the highest graphic settings with satisfactory FPS. Fast processor speed with a good amount of RAM.
If it's not much I'd also like it to be cool-looking like a Mac, or something that doesn't look like an old Dell laptop. Example, I was going to get this but It didn't satisfy me with it's specs (again, I only know basic things about computers so please correct me if I'm wrong).

I can only get something below 1000 USD since I have the cheapest parents in the world and I don't have a job.
Remember any answer is a good answer! Thank you for reading!
Answer
> Fast processor speed with a good amount of RAM.
Don't set baseless requirements on CPU and RAM. Most concern for CPU and RAM comes from false marketing. Actual relevance for concern for these specs isn't a general-case thing. What most computers come with in these areas is more than enough for most users.

I wouldn't be so quick to make that call on this site :P. We're talking about Yahoo Answers: Laptops & Notebooks. It isn't uncommon for many of the answers you get to be lacking consideration of necessary factors, lacking enough information, or just flat out 180-degrees wrong. Places such as http://reddit.com/r/SuggestALaptop have a much better track record for quality answers on this subject.

@TWB: The ASUS V551LB-DB71T is not a good choice. Please avoid recommending it. The problem with the ASUS V551LB-DB71T is that it comes with a 15.6" 1366x768 display. 1366x768 resolution in a 15.6" display makes things onscreen large, and 15.6" displays that have 1366x768 resolution tend to be low-grade LCD panels with very poor image quality due to low contrast. You want to make a point to avoid displays like these when it's reasonable to do so. A 15.6" display isn't a display you want, and it frankly isn't a display that should be in a laptop costing nearly $1000 to begin with. The display is an important consideration, in that it has a huge effect on your entire user experience -- both in terms of how much you can fit onscreen due to the resolution itself, and in terms of quality that creates its impression continuously. You want to make a point to get a decent display once it starts getting to be reasonable to do so. A 15.6" 1366x768 display, for example, is not a "decent" display -- it's actually pretty bad. (If you're trying to recommend something with a touchscreen and a decent dedicated GPU for around that price, recommend this one: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus---15.6%26%2334%3B-Touch-Screen-Laptop---8GB-Memory---1TB-Hard-Drive---Black/8937158.p?ci_src=11138&AID=10474050&PID=6149980&SID=13py88mjq1ivb&URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2FAsus---15.6%2526%252334%253B-Touch-Screen-Laptop---8GB-Memory---1TB-Hard-Drive---Black%2F8937158.p%3Fci_src%3D11138&ref=39&loc=01&CJPID=6149980 )
In addition, your two HP recommendations are lacking consideration of necessary factors, both in terms of mentioning the upgrade to the decent display, and in terms of the nerfed 64-bit memory bus in the Envy 15t's version of the GT 740M (maybe you didn't know the second part, but... now you do).

That said, for right up there or maybe a tad over, your best game performance will come from this:
**Sager NP7352** (NVIDIA GTX 765M, 15.6" 1920x1080 matte) - **$1046**
- http://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np7352-clevo-w350st-p-5842.html?wconfigure=yes
- Scroll down to Operating System and select Windows. Windows 7 and Windows 8 are both offered.

Or, for less money:
**Lenovo IdeaPad Y500** (NVIDIA GT 750M GDDR5, 15.6" 1920x1080) - **$809**

- Avoid models that come with the 1366x768 display, and not the 1920x1080 display.
- Note: less battery life than some laptops due to lack of NVIDIA Optimus switchable graphics support, but larger than average capacity battery makes it not too bad.
**Lenovo IdeaPad Y510p** (NVIDIA GT 750M GDDR5, 15.6" 1920x1080 matte) - **$949**

- Avoid models that come with the 1366x768 display, and not the 1920x1080 display.
- Reports indicate that, unlike the Y500, a solution (albeit a *manual* one) exists to switch from using the dedicated NVIDIA GT 750M to the integrated Intel HD graphics, in order to improve battery life.
- Main thing you're paying for if you get the Y510p over the Y500 is the ability to switch to integrated graphics to greatly improve battery life, and the matte/antiglare/non-glossy display.
