Looking for a gaming laptop

[seller417]

This laptop is for a 10 year old (christmas gift)
He would like to run League of Legends and possible WOW (im ok with low settings)
I am not sure if it is possible, but my price range is $500 or less
I would be OK with refurb
Please include a link if you find one

If a laptop cant happen, then how about a desktop with a monitor for the $500 or less budget.

Thanks

Also the computer will need an OS

Laptop - hardly. Desktop would be very doable.

There are some laptops that cost below $500, but they usually don't include neither a graphics card (that is needed for games) nor an operating system. For $500, you can get a desktop with decent low end GAMING graphics card, which means your 10 old will be able to play games and not just surf the internet which is teasing him with gameplay videos, a nice monitor with full HD resolution and 64 bit Windows.

This http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-Pavilion/A4G32AV?HP-Pavilion-g6t-2000-Notebook-PC

with i5 2450M, 1GB AMD Radeon 7670M, 6GB DDR3, 500GB 5400RPM, DVD R/W

If it is too expensive it is ok if you swap the processor with the i3-2350M

It's more than enough. It's also much more powerful than the i5 in the laptop.
