looking to go mobile with D4, never owned a laptop before.
cheaper the better, $500-$600

i have a built PC, just looking for something to game with on vacation or laying on the couch while the kids watch a movie.

marketplace locally has nothing good that would beat the lenovo $600 prime day deal. i would buy that but it was $550 black friday lol

thought of getting the steamdeck but wife would use this to browse interwebz as well.

Get a Steam Deck and you can browse the web too.

Got this for 589 on clearance from Walmart, but I don't think walmart is still selling them...there are a few on ebay under 600 though.

It can play d2r flawlessly, but idk about d4 if you need more power and whatnot

Wal-Mart
MSI GF63 Thin 15.6" Gaming Laptop, Intel Core i5-11400H, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, 8GB Memory, 256GB NVMe SSD, Windows 11, 11SC-693
$582 Online , Can find them in store as well in most areas on clearance for $499.99 or $498.00
( Doesn't have a number pad, but some other options do ).


Doesn't Hurt to visit wal-marts website, click the In-store option then search " Gaming Laptop " or " Gaming Laptop RTX " ect
Then at the top left , you will notice your address/store , you can change that to some of the nearby locations too.

Most wal-mart stores have Gaming Laptops on clearance, because every 4-6 months they rotate the displays/selection out, and just have a few left over.
They just put them on clearance, sometimes the website shows the clearance, sometimes it doesn't, and sometimes you can get display models 20-35% off, that have been hardly touched.

17" Screen
This Has a Number pad.
8GB of ram . The 4GB is the dedicated memory on the GTX 1650 , just like the MSI laptop.

The only downside to this laptop is the CPU is 8% slower,
