Title says it all. I really want to play the PC version of Team Fortress 2 because of the updates and the better performance over the PS3 version. I cant get a Desktop so a Laptop is the only option. My price range is around 500.

You won't be able to play Team Fortress 2 on a $500 laptop.

if you can find a notebook with any gpu higher or equal to 8400m gs in that price range you can play it well enough. Prices differ throughout the world so I can't recommend you any.

No such thing as a 500$ gaming laptop

I just bought this laptop and im very pleased with it but its also... 1800$.. so its a little out of your price range but its a HP Dv7.

If your on a budget, the look at a core duo because quads (which are fairly new on laptops) are what drive the prices to 1600+

You can get a solid gaming machine, not the best but still good for around 1000$

No way... he needs at least core 2 duo 2,4GHz, 2-4Gb RAM and minimally 8600gt (for low and laggy) and 8800 (for medium settings), for some reason TF2 is the most demanding game of source games.

Not sure if they still have them but a dell vostro 1720 has a 9600gt gpu if you spend more money not sure how much it costs though.

This was a joke post, right? An 8600GT can easily max out TF2. Hell, my old 7600GS maxed it out (without AA though)

Correct me if I am wrong but any laptop with a modern cpu and any dedicated graphic card will play this game pretty well i'm assuming.

Off-topic and incorrect.

I had a laptop with 8600m gt and no way it can run it even on medium settings with descent fps.. no way.
