best gaming laptops manufacturers image
Q. I would like to buy a cheap, good gaming laptop. Preferably below 500 euros. Any suggestions? It also needs to be available in PAL regions.
Answer
Cheap and gaming are somewhat opposites in the computer world. You get what you pay for. Laptops are not necessarily the best for gaming, the reason being that as games get bigger and more complex your computer starts hitting the wall for speed and performance. Laptops are designed to be small and portable, to do this they have limited what the computer is capable. You lose the upgradability, the thermal solution, smarter power consumption and cheap parts. When choosing a laptop, your going to be looking for a good manufacturer since it is through the manufacturer the computer can be easily fixed and upgraded. Dell is a large company that has good support as long as you keep your warranty, however they have their reputation for cutting corners and low grade. Toshiba is a good company, although they tend to have slightly higher prices.
When shopping for your laptop I would rather suggest looking for computers within your budget, within your desired performance, and then research the reputation of the manufacturer.
Now days a good computer runs at about these specs
3.0 GHz Dual Core (I only shop Intel but that is a matter of preference and opinion)
4Gb of fast ram RAM
100 GB HDD (This is actual storage space, bigger the better but that is counter intuitive with laptops)
Windows 64 bit (With out the 64 bit version you lose the ability to use better hardware and are limited to only 4gb of ram with 32 bit version)
Make sure the laptop has a good thermal solution, if the manufacturer mentions it has a focus on thermal, that should be enough (most ignore it)
That should be all you need to know, ultimately I recommend building a desktop for all of the pros that a laptop doesn't have. Desktops allow you to build your own computer, and at your own price. Usually this is more expensive than buying from a manufacturer but you have the ability to upgrade and swap out parts as you see fit.

How much money do you reckon my laptop could sell for at the most?

Just as a note, this isn't a gaming laptop. Just an ordinary office laptop. It's been used for about 1 year and a half, not very frequently though. The keyboard has been damaged once, but it was taken to the manufacturer about 2 months ago; it came back with a completely replaced keyboard as well as a BIOS upgrade.
The laptop has a 750 GB HDD, which should be enough for a huge amount of photos, videos and also able to hold a lot of programmes without lagging. To help, it's got 6 GB of RAM, which is surprisingly huge for an office laptop. The graphics are integrated but good enough to play regular games like Diner Dash (it can also play the first few expansions of World of Warcraft), not advanced ones like Battlefield or FarCry. But, do not worry about the graphics card if you're looking for a laptop to use for editing, or just daily working or socializing. The processor is the Intel Core i5-2430M running at 2.4 GHz. This is a really good processor.
The colour of the laptop is red, a bit dark but not very. It has Windows 7 on it so you won't have to worry about getting an OS disk. It comes with its charger in the box that the manufacturer provided after its repair; otherwise it comes in a plain box, but it will be protected so it isn't damaged during travel.
How much do you reckon my laptop could sell for at the most on eBay?
£'s please.
