I'm looking to buy a laptop budget: $500-$600

I will be needing it for:

everyday internet browsing
watching videos/tv shows online (I do this a lot)
and I'm thinking of doing some light gaming (steam games) from time to time.

Nothing heavy/am not looking for a "gaming laptop" I know those are very bad.

also would prefer an optical drive but if it's not within price range, it's fine without. I could always buy an external one later.


I was looking at the ASUS F555LA-AB31 would this be a good choice?


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you!


/One of the problems I have with my current (very old) laptop is that sometimes I'll be watching a show online and go onto the next show and it won't load because it's out of RAM I guess so I'll have to restart my laptop in order to watch more. Not sure if this is a RAM problem but just my guess? so this type of thing can be very annoying.

The best I could find that meets your needs and fits into that price range was this one:

New Inspiron 15 5000 Series Details | Dell

Although, Steam Games will need to be placed on low settings.

So I tried searching for the laptop you recommended but because I'm in CAD I couldn't find a retailer that is selling/shipping to CAD..

I'm wondering if there's anything specifically I should be looking at when buying a laptop that is fit for what I need..

Also, how is the one I suggested? or is it no good?


-thank you

Thanks, I don't know how I missed that..or maybe I was trying to find it somewhere else to avoid the $100 tax.. lol. Will have to save up a bit more, will keep it in mind and save the page. Thank you.

Just remember, this is not a powerful gaming machine. It will get the rest of your work done well though.
