Looking to spend up to 500 bucks
Have no idea about computers so it’d have to be pre built
Only needs to run diablo 2 or Warcraft 3
Thanks for the help :)

If you can go a bit more with the budget, that would help a LOT!

Check newegg.com. At that price point, on 8GB of RAM, only HDD and only Intel grfx. Most screens at that price point are 13xx x 768 as well.
I mean, it's doable. Just wouldn't be my choice, even for those games.

At $500, I would just hit up Best Buy.

Literally any new laptop from Walmart or Bestbuy will do what you need within your budget, but you could get a refurb Dell e6540 with i7 4800mq, 8gb ram and HD 8790 for around $250 on Ebay/Newegg which would be extreme overkill.

I do much more on my used top-of-the-line (circa 2013) i7 Lenovo Helix that I nabbed for $100 on ***

You can get a decent laptop with an actual gfx card off new egg for that.

Try to save more money so that you get better specs for your gaming laptop.

I have more money. I just don’t want to spend more than that since I only play randomly and it’s only 2 old games I’m playing.
