Light Gaming Computer/Graphics Upgrade?

Light Gaming = Black and White series, Civ series, Sims, Earth 2160, online flash games

I found four laptops with everything that I require... except for a decent graphics card.

I need to know which one(s) of these, or an equivalent, can have the graphics card upgraded.

Gateway nv5453u $580
HP G71-340us Refurbished $500
Dell Inspiron i1440-2630awh $450
Asus K60IJ-RBBBR05 Refurbished $450


My personal requirements...

Laptop (not desktop)
2.1+ processor (non-AMD/Celeron/etc.)
4gb Memory
500gb Hard Drive preferable (will settle for less)
Less than $600 (before upgrade)
No Cheap Brands (Acer etc.)
Must have disc drive
Upgradability (as much as possible)

 

Those game don't require much however none of those laptops have a decent video card for gaming. Any of those laptops should run those games but I would would save up and get a better card just to be safe.

Most laptops cant have the video card upgraded. The ones you linked to fall into this category.

I think you need to increase your budget a little bit or save up some more.

I would suggest something like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220735

 

unfortunalty, like the other guy said , it is very hard to get a laptop that is able to play those games for under $600.

If you are not restricted to a laptop, then why not try a desktop, i am SURE you could get a desktop that can play all those games for less that $600.

 

I'm actually posting this for my wife

I plan to get a desktop for my own gaming needs... one that will never be connected to the internet, so it will be kept in pristine condition without the need for security programs.

The laptop that PCLover posted is exactly what I'm looking for, for my wife...

That is about the total price that I was expecting in the end. It is perfect

Thanks for your help.
