Is it possible to find a decent gaming laptop under $500 that can handle casual games and everyday tasks? I'm not looking to play the latest AAA titles at max settings, but I'd like something that can handle less demanding games and also be suitable for web browsing, streaming, and schoolwork. What are the key features to look for in a budget gaming laptop for casual use? What compromises should I expect at this price point? What are your experiences and recommendations for laptops in this category?
