Biggest requisite: Good enough to play League of Legends at low-medium settings.


I dont know much of laptops, my old one is an Acer so i normally look out for the following:

Budget: Preferably less than 500 USD

i5 or i7 processor (at least 6th generation)
RAM would like 8GB
Dedicated graphic card if possible
Big screen.

What else should I look out for?

Currently I saw this laptop that looks really good to me, maybe too much even:
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834315907

Acer Aspire E5-575G-57A4 15.6" Intel Core i5 7th Gen 7200U (2.50 GHz) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M 8 GB DDR4 Memory 256 GB SSD 1 TB HDD Windows 10 Home 64-Bit Gaming Laptop

My old laptop is an Acer so I kind of like the brand but I am open to any

Ty in advance,

Val

For what you want to do with it I would recommend d looking for the following specs

I5/i7 6xxxhq/7xxxhq
8gb ram
SSD
15.4'' screen

These will have the best value for your budget.
If you increase budget, you can go for a dedicated GPU (no less than a GTX 1060) followed by a 17.3'' screen, followed by a hard drive for additional storage.

I am living in France now and Newegg doesn't deliver there.

Anyone knows of a site that does?

ldlc.com but expansive
materiel.net a bit less expansive
magicpc.fr not a lot of choice but still worth looking
topachat.com never checked either

and amazon.fr as stated above

I really like my zenbook, even though its getting a little outdated....its slim, good battery life, discrete graphics, backlit keyboard, beautiful screen, etc

https://www.amazon.com/ZenBook-UX510UW-RB71-i7-6500U-NVIDIA-Windows/dp/B01IHFIL1O/ref=pd_sbs_147_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B01IHFIL1O&pd_rd_r=V8F82SVMZ52FSHMES70W&pd_rd_w=2BS37&pd_rd_wg=glSto&psc=1&refRID=V8F82SVMZ52FSHMES70W

Or if you want to spend a bit less
https://www.amazon.com/i5-6300HQ-keyboard-Microsoft-signature-Anti-Glare/dp/B01LXCBXQO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1487664644&sr=8-2&keywords=asus+960m

Similar specs, but in the more classicly bulky plastic computer shell, rather than the sleek aluminum of the Zen model
