    Tight budget gaming laptop

    Hey there fellas.
    I do know that gaming laptops for a low price don't really exist, but now I've got an opportunity to seriously upgrade my rig without having to spend a fortune. Looking for some advice.

    I've been using a Lenovo G580 with an i3 and 635M for over a year. It's quite good value for money (I spent just about 400$) and perfectly fits my needs (which are mainly playing WoW and other older games like Oblivion and Fallout 3). Sometimes I feel like playing something modern but it usually doesn't last for long because of horribly low performance.

    Now the money situation in my country is quite frightening because all the PCs and components cost twice as much as they did a couple of months ago. Yeah, Putin wants the whole country to go offline

    I'm really scared it all can only go worse, so it's really the time to think about upgrading to a better machine before everything becomes as pricy as Alienware stuff.

    I found a local dealer who offer a laptop for ridiculous 700$, and here it is...

    Acer Aspire V3-772G.

    Intel Core i5 4210m 2.6 GHz
    6GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM
    (!!!) GeForce GTX 850M 2Gb GDDR5
    17.3 inch matte 1920x1080 display
    Additional HDD slot, mSATA slot, 4 RAM slots
    Metal finish

    Looks damn solid, huh?

    I'd love to know if anyone had experience using this device and if I should look for something else or just buy this one.

    And yeah, 700$ is my monthly salary.
    Aaaand yeah, don't tell me to look for a desktop please. I'm only interested in laptops.

    Cheers, Nidana.

    You could always buy a laptop from another country. Will probably be cheaper if prices are currently sky high.

    edit:
    After looking at prices in Sweden, that laptop looks really good for that price.
    You could still save up and buy one from amazon etc next month.

    Country does not matter, I still get paid in rubles. when it was summer, I earned 1000$ each month, now I earn the same sum in rubles which is 700$ thanks to the currency rate. Next month will probably make me earn even less.
    Amazon ain't an option because of crazy delivery charges and customs taxes.
    I would feel much safer if I buy it here in Russia.

    Just go and look on amazon, 700$ for i5 and 6gb ram is way too much, too bad you are looking only for laptops, you could build a beast pc with 700$

    700$ today is a totally different sum from what 700$ used to be back when I created this topic. Everything has become twice more expensive in Russia.
    I bought that Acer when it was quite cheap though and it satisfies me completely.
