Hey, techno geeks! I need your help.

Okay, so my boyfriend has an incredibly sucko laptop that he's had for years, but he doesn't go a 日 without using it. His birthday is coming up soon, and I want to buy him a new one. I need help finding the perfect one for him.

He's a gamer, but not very much on his laptop, he uses his computer the most. So, I want something that'd support his games really well, but it can just be simple. It'll need some good speed and storage, but nothing too fancy.

I'll spend a lot on that boy, and my budget is reasonable. However, I do have quite a colony of moths in my wallet, so I'll say that I can't go much over $500.

Any bit of 建议 will be helpful! Thanks, 你 guys!! :}

My 建议 to 你 is to go and look at laptops, for a start. Because you're in a different country, I don't really know if they have, necessarily, all of the same laptops they would sell in my country, nor would they be the same in pricing.

What I can tell you, however, is that $500 won't get 你 something that will support the latest games, 或者 even many of the 最近的 ones, either. You'd be looking at a laptop with likely a 512 mb graphics (maybe 1 gb if 你 stumble across a good deal), with probably 4 gb ram and a relatively decent cpu (these are the things that are most important gaming wise). 熊 in mind that laptops are 更多 expensive than desktops in terms of the specifications 你 will get.

At the moment, the NZ dollar is equal to 66 American cents. Your $500 equals $754 in my country. All of the laptops I just browsed are about the specifications I just mentioned. For a further point, about a 年 以前 I spent $2,000 on my current laptop, which is pretty decent, but still wouldn't play some of the latest games out.

In short, 你 can't expect much in the way of gaming out of laptops, unless 你 fork out a lot, sorry to say. But, still, it sounds like a new one would still be better than the one he's got, anyway, so it's definitely worth getting him a new one.

Let me give 你 a good piece of advice. If 你 want to find him a laptop that works for gaming for about $500, 你 likely won't find anything.

However, for the sake of optimism, 你 will want to look for something that has a video card separate from the CPU, so look for something that doesn't have an "integrated graphics card." The 下一个 think 你 want to take into account is try to get at least 4 GB of ram, but try your hardest to get one with 6 GB 或者 higher. If not, see if 你 can get one with RAM expansion slots so the computer can be upgraded.

I suggest looking here: link 你 can 搜索 hundreds of 模特 of computers, specify price, performance, and et cetra.

However, don't try to hard. Your boyfriend uses a desktop 更多 often for gaming for a reason, and that reason is getting a laptop that can handle regular gaming is probably going to cost 你 at least a couple thousand dollars.

If 你 don't specifically want the gaming, and want a good laptop that will work for most purposes, then $500 is 更多 than enough to get a good workable laptop.

Good advice. Anything with integrated graphics is a waste of time. XD

I don't think they are when you're talking about entry level computers, as most $500 machines are.

Ah. I see. Fair enough.
