I want to see at least the Nvidia 1050 GPU so let's look for a 17 inch today. I don't see any 17.5 inch models.

Let me share what my wife bought last December. It's very nice and about the right price for the size and power.

Hello,
Back in the 90's and early 2000's I liked to play computer games. I played Civilization, Heroes of M&M, Age of Empires, Warcraft (not WOW), and Empire Earth. I have been sporadically playing some of these games on my 7 year old desktop using Steam. However, I would like to buy a new laptop that will allow me to play those games, and some newer ones, in addition to surfing the web, paying bills, etc. Nothing too intense. My only want is a 17.5 inch screen and I would like to pay about $600. What minimum specs should I be looking for? Do you have any suggestions on specific rigs that I should buy? Is there a time of year where laptops like this go on sale?
Thanks in advance!
