I know there are a lot of laptop threads already, but they all have the same information about buying a desktop for games and a cheap laptop for school.
I'm looking for a laptop that can run your average games at 45+ fps. I want to be able to bring it to work and use it to play games as well as use it for school, so something in the 12-15 inch range would be ideal. I had an HP Pavilion DV7 for a long time before it broke and it ran everything I wanted it to relatively well and was 700 dollars something like 3-4 years ago, but I can't find anything comparable that's the size I want.
Ideally I'll spend something like $600 tops on it, but that's flexible. Anyone know of anything like that?
Thanks!

For $600, you're going to have a hard time finding a system that runs TF2 well, or even decent. May I suggest something like the Lenovo Y40 for $670 after rebates?

Any laptop with the newest Intel CPU,GPU(Haswell) can run tf2 pretty solid in most default settings and laptop resolutions(can be a bit tricky with higher resolutions then 1366x768). I got a "work" laptop housing a i3 4100m and HD 4600, can run in native resolution and along with configs the game pretty well. Only experience sluggish plays if I am playing 32 player servers.

I should have mentioned that I'm not actually interested in running TF2 at all. I have down time that can easily be interrupted, so I'm mostly going to be playing single player games.

What types of single-player games? Far Cry 4 can be played single player. You need to be specific.

Well then you're out of luck, if you don't give us more info on what kind of "single player" games you would like to run...

The most graphic intensive game in my library is Bioshock Infinite. Being able to run a game like that on low-mid settings smoothly would be excellent.

i had a $1300 laptop and i couldnt run tf2 at over 120 frames even with configs
i tried playing shadow warrior once and it just took a huge shit
i doubt you will be able to get a laptop for $600 that will be able to run games well

I think I'm just going to take my old laptop in to try and fix it. 700 dollars and it ran everything at 60 fps. Thanks for the replies, all!
