you need at least 1 grand to get a laptop with a gtx 1060. Anything less and you're getting budget bin trash for like 800$ and it'll have 1/5th the power of the latest consoles.

Any gaming laptop st that price is going to be crap. Only get a gaming laptop if you absolutely need the portability.

$600 is the minimum I would spend for a regular laptop. For gaming you are looking at spending at least $1000.

Buy an ultrabook without a gpu. Youll have a nicer laptop, can still play most games decent enough

if you must buy a laptop i saw something on newegg for like 900$ that had a gtx1050 ti, it's not amazing but it's decent enough if all you care about is older games

You said you wanted a laptop for gaming, not for accounting.

Nope, the GPU is basically the bare minimum for gaming. I would get this one instead.

Bare minimum for modern gaming?

Honestly the newest game I plan on playing on it would be New Vegas <_<

You dont even need a gpu for new vegas. Civ 6 runs fine on an i7 7600u or whatever the current gen of laptop cpus is

It will be fine for that as long as you are not running a bunch of graphics mods.
