help me find a laptop!?
i need a new laptop but there are SO MANY out there, looking for advice.
here are must haves for me:
14 inch screen (I can settle for 15 inch if its absolutely necessary)
Ability to play some games fairly well like: Sims, Minecraft, CSGO, TF2 (not powerhouse games)
Some things I would like but don't need:
A centered track pad
A keyboard with no number pad
touch screen
Price range: Maximum $500-600 (USA)
Any suggestions will do nicely! I know I'm asking a lot, which is why I need help lol. i don't need to play games in the highest settings, I just want to be able to play them without them being super slow (as they are on my current laptop). i'm not great with laptop specs and processors and what-not, so I don't know what is considered good or good enough when searching for a laptop on my own.

Price is kinda low. Gaming laptops generally start at $700-800 at the low end, and just go up in price from there.
A touchscreen alone will add $200 to the price. (frankly I think they're a waste of money.)
Brands: I like ASUS, MSi, and Velocity Micro (www.velocitymicro.com)
But I think you're looking at about $1000 to get everything you want.
You can just about get a Desktop (no monitor) for the price you're looking for, and it'll be a lot more flexible. Just not portable.
