Just pick the best laptop you can under specs. Check the deal sites, check costco, check everywhere, then buy the one you like.

good luck!!

Any size not too small, what is too small? You want a full size screen, so 14-15" or so?

For games with your budget you are probably either looking at a used system with a real video card, maybe one with nVidia 1050 Ti for about 500 USD, or a new one with a Ryzen 5 CPU.

Something like this Dell would work for you, Ryzen 5 is good for easy to run games at 1080, 256 gb drive is enough to keep a couple of games installed https://www.bestbuy.com/site/dell-i...Ea33Y797eRrJGRa1wphoCr1UQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

You may want to move up a bit in price, you can't upgrade laptops past the drive and RAM so buying the best thing you can now will save you a lot of hassle in the future when you try to run things and it's too slow for you. Ryzen 7 is maybe $150 more https://www.newegg.com/lenovo-81yq0... laptop-_-34-645-065-_-Product&quicklink=true

Acer Nitro 5 is also pretty cheap if you keep the drive and RAM specs lower https://www.amazon.com/Acer-i5-9300...g=p00935-20&ascsubtag=02Oiz4syfv2f8w1oVw6uGOh
