Good but cheap laptop for Medium Gaming

[PhilFails]

Hey, just wondering some other peoples opinion on what laptop I should aim to get.
Don't really want to pay a lot for it, I just simply want it to be able to play, World of Warcraft, CS:GO, and a few others at Medium Graphics @ 1080p.

I am from the UK, and I would like to spend a maximum of £500, but could go more if the spec increase is significant and looking for a 13/15" screen as it'll be perfect size for what I need it for.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Phil.

A $500 laptop will play WOW at low graphics unless you get a used one, especially at 1080 resolution. Look for a system with an 840m video card in it, will likely be a bit more than $500, unless you find a cheap brand like Acer and are OK with sacrificing possible reliability for price and speed. A gaming laptop for Medium settings in newer games at 1080 will run $1,000 or more. Anything with an 840m video card will have a good enough CPU for gaming so you don't really have to worry about the rest of the specs aside from brand quality and screen size.

That will be difficult as most laptops in this price range come with a 720p screen and are not designed for gaming. If you are willing to drop the res and play at med settings then it will be possible to find a laptop.
