I'm looking to buy a new laptop but I want it to be for gaming, sadly I really can't commit to dropping $1,000 on it. Really my budget is only $500 to $600 at best, is it possible to get a nice gaming laptop that can play most stuff for that price? $1,000 just seems like so much for a laptop, well it's just a lot of money to me in general.
I've heard people saying it's usually a rip off to drop that much money on them because the cheaper ones are just as efficient. Anyway can someone recommend me some laptops for that price range that are efficient for gaming? I'd like something with AT LEAST 2GB of dedicated video memory and NOT the Intel HD graphic chipset, that is garbage for gaming because I have it on my current computer and it sucks. I've been told it's not even meant to play games, I'd like something with NVIDIA or AMD.
I already tried looking at some $500 at Best Buy and most of them aren't made for gaming, they all come with Intel HD graphics and like 500MB of dedicated video memory. Would it be better to get a desktop? Could I get a desktop for like $500 that would be better than a laptop for gaming? I'm really just trying not to drop $1,000 if I could avoid it, seems like the minimum for decent gaming laptops is $1,000 and I think that's insane.

I just realized I wasn't suppose to ask for advice on technology and computers on this board, my bad. I never come to this board and didn't look at the sticky initially, I'm hoping a mod can forgive me this one time.
I don't mind if you delete the thread, I'll go post it on a different board. I just figured this would have been the most relevant/best board to ask this question, my mistake.

I really don't shop online, I'm not a big fan of it. I'd rather buy things at the store, where I can physically see them/look at them. I suppose that's limiting myself, maybe I should try going to a different store that sells laptops. Doesn't any retail store sell decent gaming laptops? Best Buy? Wal-Mart? Target?
I have nothing personal against online shopping, I just don't really care to buy things online/shop online. Also I have to wait for it to come to the house when I can just bring it home if I were to buy it at the store.

Yes, but I don't know what a high end laptop is on my budget. That's the question I'm asking people in this thread.

Newegg and Amazon are the only places you'll get anything good in your price range
Everything else is rip-offs and normie shit

I just thought I'd ask, I'm really retarded when it comes to PC parts and buying them or constructing a PC. I've heard of Newegg though, I just really hate online shopping.

And where would I find them? On the internet? Or do you mean build one?
