Hello :) I am searching for a gaming laptop and have a limited budget. Is there any place that sells them cheap and are also worth it? I'm looking at 500 to 600 dollar range.

i've never seen "cheap" "gaming" and "quality" in the same place.

at that range you're not going to get very much unless you look for used or maybe open box deals. the prices for certain specs tend to stay roughly the same even with sales. you may get lucky, but you're never going to find a $1000 laptop for $500. maybe $900 on sale, but that's about it.

from what i have seen around $850-900 is the start of 4050 laptops. that's pretty much the low end for new laptop gpu's.

you might find some 3050/60 series models cheap-ish but i've not really looked that hard. labor day sales are on so who knows what you might find.

but i'd go with your idea to save some more to be sure you can get something you'll be happy with.

a quick search turned up this 4050 laptop

will want at least a ram upgrade but it's a good start for your lower budget and can be upgraded as you go with more ram and ssd space. best i see with a quick look :)
