The Lenovo Y500 series is one of the best pre built gaming laptops. I have one and I love it.

you will not find a laptop that cheap, I paid 850 dollars. I believe the Y400 is cheaper.

Thing is, these "gaming laptops" really don't come cheap at all. I'm surprised uffy paid less than $1000. Gaming laptops are a waste and are (99% of the time) are used as desktop supplements or in place of a desktop. I advise your friend to hold on to his $400 and save up for a desktop if it's gaming he wants.

Well if its a simple game like minecraft and terraria, it does not have to cost much, thats why he told me 400$. if he would want to play other games such as bf3 and cod, he would waste more money.

You can build a desktop for $400 that can run both of those games. (no OS or peripherals included though)

The Y500 is going for around 700-800 dollars now.

Most defiantly! But inexpensive desktops are alright for casual gaming, but I would rather get a gaming laptop for under 400, due to the ultra portability as I'm always on the go.
