Thinking about buying my wife a laptop for her birthday.

I'd use it on occasion as well, so something that can handle simple games would be nice.

She would use it for work stuff at home and a lot of browsing of the internet.

<3 any help is much appreciated!

Ice98 useful? Never

You can find a skylake/kaby i5 with 8 gb ram and 1 TB HDD for around this price. Shouldn't need more than integrated GPU if you're playing "simple" games.

I am not asking for a gaming laptop with extended features. lol

Just a simple laptop. There are good things that aren't extremely expensive, you know?

Hon is extremely CPU intensive and RuneScape is CPU/ram intensive.

You're looking at what I noted in my previous comment.

Didn't know ppl still played hon. I used to but it got super gross after 2.0

Yeah I play with family. It's a lot more fun when you actually play with a full team and don't get a bunch of BR's on your team. XD

Though a couple of my cousins are worse than some of the BR's.. -.-

A used y500 with an i7 and a 657/750m would be able to play games like league, cs go and even modern triple A titles on low.

Probably fits in your price range.
