So you have to search and watch.

But the really bad news that gaming laptops do not age well so like the used car, it's best days are spent. With gaming laptops, many did not get proper care so I read folk getting used gaming laptops then exploding when the machines BSOD under load.

For gaming, you could do better with a PS3/4 or XBOX at the prices you noted.
