laptop recomemdation (i suck)

first i know laptops sucks bla bla bla and bla but it isnt for me its for a friend that isnt allowed to own a dekstop
he need a decent laptop that runs beamng drive (above the 3 fps he gets now) atleast 20 fps
dont mind the resolution ect
need under 500 euro/dollar
any help for the little guy


again dont hate on me hate at josepth for asking

 

An HP elitebook 8760w with dual or quadcore I7 cpu and nvidia quadro 3000m runs beamng.drive at medium to high settings at 40-60 fps. Available for between 300-400 dollars us online

 

What kind of budget is your friend here on? If he can spend somewhere around $700, this is a great one:

Thinking about getting this one myself.

If he is looking for something cheaper, then refer to @tdtz 's post, that seems like quite a lot of power for not a lot of money. No matter what, any halfway decent gaming laptop for Beamng.drive will be pretty expensive

The 3 most important things for a gaming laptop are RAM (8 or 16 gigs, 8 is fine), a good graphics card (preferably an Nvida graphics card around the 960), and a good core (quad cores are best for Beamng.drive, and an i5 and an i7 are virtually the same, no need paying an extra $100

The better the laptop, the pricier it gets. Is he positively only allowed to have a laptop? PC's are much cheaper than laptops, especially if you build it yourself.

well hes 13 (yup) so yea under 500/600

 

That's going to have to be used, and it'll be a rough find. Do your research and keep an eye on craigslist.

 

Something like this? (Dutch ad)
Decent CPU for BeamNG and okay-ish GPU (i7 4700HQ and GT840M)

Prices vary widely, I was referring to a refurbished laptop. I bought mine from www.walmart.com for $550 dollers us with 8 gb of ram but they sold out. I suggested it because as a business laptop it is very rugged. Cool Username is right about the three most important things in a gaming rig. I would also suggest if you can find a computer repair shop they may sell good refurbished pc laptop/desktop for not alot of money. ps I mistyped in my earlier post about the price sorry about that I was tired that night but you can still get this pc online for between 450-850 dollars depending on how it is configured.
