The AMD A10 powered laptops. When budget is noted, look at those. My son has the model below that, some Asus K55N with the AMD A8 with 16GB RAM (we got the ram from Crucial) but most gamers won't put up with that one notch down.

Google finds me http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=1249&game=DOTA%202 that lets you see the performance of Dota2 on the laptop you plan to buy.

Hmm....i got some of the laptops from my local ebay (kinda ) and they would all run dota 2 so if u could just tell me which one is the best for the money cause i have no clue ? They are all priced the same and most of them arent older than 4 months ! If u could spare 10 min and take a look would be most gratefull

However given the 8800's age I wouldn't touch that. The AMD A6 is two tiers down from what I suggested so it's any one's guess why you went so far below the mark.
The 525M is not a gamer's choice. Benchmarks are on the web so you can see if it comes close. I'd avoid that one too.
My guess is you are going for low price, used so here's a tip on used laptops.
