i'm doing research for friends and a class and was wondering what the best general laptops that can be afforded at a cheap price are. the budget would be around 300 dollars (can buy used/good condition laptops instead of new, as well). in a perfect world, it would be larger than 12", would run several apps and tabs at good speed such as spotify, google, discord etc. it'd be able to run a few games (not necessarily huge games like GTAV and stuff, but smaller indie games you could get on steam). basically, a decent student laptop with some recreational use/ability. what's up?

If you can stretch your budget to $350 the following Acer Aspire E 15 E5-575-33BM with a Core i3-7100u and Intel HD 620 graphics core is basically the best new laptop you can buy. It also has a 1080p screen, but it is generally not recommended to play most games at that resolution.

Personally I would try to find a core i3 with at least 4 gb memory.
For indie gaming, most likely an onboard / integrated will be fine.
This price range will not offer anything good for gpu in laptop. You would need to spend 500-600 min. to get something like *50 gpu(750-950 minimum for descent gaming)
