New Laptop Suggestions

My laptop recently broke and I'm looking for a new one, I don't know anything about specs or other gaming computer stuff, it would be nice if it could run L4D2 but I definitly want it to be able to run TF2 i'm looking to spend around $500 but I understand if that is impossible

I understand if that is impossible

Ok then how much would a computer that could run TF2 be?

$600, but it will run l4d2 fine on low.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152148

That's not an easy question to answer. It depends on what you mean by "run". You can always get stuff to run by turning off options but that could cut down on your enjoyment. The main thing you want is a discrete graphics chip....none of that integrated stuff. There's a huge range of stuff you can buy. Usually the more you pay, the more power you'll get. At a miniumum you'll want a dual core CPU. Intel is the best. As for GPUs, here's a link of whats available:

Either of these will work well.

THIS is the least I can suggest.. ATi Mobility HD 4650 is pretty good for gaming.. Check out YouTube for videos showing how HD 4650 performs.

But if you could somehow get THIS... It'll be a BAM !!!!

Any good desktops? I don't know how to build a computer (for now) so I'd prefer it too just work out of the box.

Sorry for the double post but are there really no good desktops?
