I'm not new to League. I've played for a little while and used to play on a laptop that recently has become useless. It was a garbage, cheap laptop provided by my college anyways.

Anyway, I know gaming isn't ideal on a laptop but that's what I want. Seeing as I don't know much about computers, specs, etc. to begin with, I'm asking for some help.

Is it possible to get a laptop that can surf the internet, run Netflix, LoL when I want (I'm not competitive or anything, just play for fun so it doesn't need to be the best experience ever), play music, etc.? I've read the recommended LoL specs so I have a couple options in mind but I'd rather get advice from people who have used laptops for League without issues.

I'd prefer to spend like under $1,500 but not sure if that's legit.

Any advice is appreciated.

that's around 1110 euros, right?


With that money you can get 2-3 decent laptops that you can all those things with and with about 900 dollars you can already get a laptop that is probably better than my other desk computer.

The thing is though that I can't recommend any sites or computers because I only use Finnish stores etc. to buy my stuff.

Absolutely, I've been playing for three years on a laptop I bought for around £600 (~$1000). It runs League at 60-100 fps and will run any modern game with good fps at decent settings. I have Witcher 2, Bioshock Infinite, Skyrim, Civ 5, Tomb Raider, Sleeping Dogs and a bunch of other stuff all working fine. I'm sure today you can pay a lot less than that for the same performance and everything you listed will pretty much run on a potato in any case.

For the love of god don't play using a touchpad though.

Laptop has nothing to PING. First of all, change the internet.
