you will hardly find any gaming laptop for 600$. Semi-Gaming Laptops with a 960M and an quad core intel start at 800-900$. Gaming Laptops with a 970M or better are not going for under 1.1k.
I think the brand should be your least worry. Try to find SOMETHING that has at least a 950M in it, but it will still not be good at gaming.

as others have said, my laptop policy is to go big ($1000+, well outside your budget) or go cheap like $250 craptop that won't be able to play any real games.

This.

I built a gg desktop for $1100
I bought a Chromebook for $220

Don't game on the Chromebook ofc ;)

Keep my desktop on for Ms office progs and some others for school use.

Out of school now, haven't touched the Chromebook in about 4 months lol

You won't be able to play games very well with a $600 budget.
I would save if you're set on getting a laptop. Desktops are far superior at all price points above $400 (generally ;) )
