Is there a gaming laptop that cost 500 or less?

I really like to have my first gamming laptop to play on. I wanted to get the 1000$ ones but my dad will probably say no since its alot of money. So anyways if they are gamming laptops less that 500 can i play games like minecraft, sims, call of duty ghost maybe? Can i?

Minecraft and the sims, might run on on a computer with a 4th gen i5 or i7, but no promises
if you really want to game you will have to spend a minimum of 900 on a laptop

Not really tbh. You need to spend more if you want the GPU and CPU that can run new games

Well youll want to be looking for a laptop that probably does not have an intel graphics card as it can't handle 3D games very well. (IE: Alan Wake)

Right now my the laptop that i have works fine and can run many games like:

League of legends (Medium to High quality)
Minecraft (High everything)
Osu!
Team Fortress 2
Hearth Stone
Terraria
Dragon Nest
Chivalry (Very Low, laggy at times, but still play-able)
Gary's Mod
And even Starcraft II (Medium)
It can run all of these games + Skye running in the background, so i think its more than capable of playing to games that you may be interested in (Although it can't run some of the higher quality games like Arma)

I have an Acer Aspire v5-571p and here are the specs:

Operating System: Windows 8 64-bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core (TM) i3-3217U CPU @ 1.80GHz
RAM: 6.144 Gigs

With an Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 Graphics card

As you can see my laptop isn't very well built for games as i bought mine mainly for school, but i play games on it anyways.
I got mine at costco for 400$, so it should be somewhere around that price range

Gaming laptops cost more than $500.

You could a laptop with an apu which could be decent for low setting gaming, while sacrficing a good processor. Heres probably the best you're gonna get: http://www.newegg.com/...6834312829
