80/80

Tomorrow I'm going out (both days tbh) and I'm just looking for a laptop that can do some gaming for around $600 or less for black Friday.

Mostly I've seen either ones with 8-10+ gb of ddr3 with a i5 or i-7, a 4-6 gddr4 with an i-3 or i-5, and the occasional mix with one here or there having even something like ryzen and a Vega graphics card for less than 500 bucks

Can CE help me? IDK how good I needed to go. I was figuring that buying an $800-$900 one on sale for $400-$600 would probably be okay, but I'm wondering what to look out for while there.

Does CE just hate gaming laptops?

Can someone at least tell me some things to look for? Some have the new AMD Ryzen along with Vega or better.

Probably older games, PS3 and before. I have a PS4 for most new games. Maybe some pc exclusives on the lowest settings. I just figured that I've seen some 800 dollar computers for $450 or less even if they are laptops.

Anything with a 1050 in it then
8gb ram. ssd is nice
i5 is more than enough if it's 8th gen
ifi t's 7th gen get an i7 if possible, but make sure it's a quadcore

What about this then?

Also I've heard good things about AMD Ryzen and Vega what about this one:

What's typically better? A Ryzen and Vega chipset or an i5/i7 with a good gtx card?

I've heard nothing but praise for Ryzen and Vega assuming it's 2nd gen or above (what's in the ones I'm looking at with them)
