To be totally honest, I don’t think you will find a laptop under 900$ that will play games well. If you were willing to save up or spend a little bit more, Alienware laptops are a very good quality for a reasonable price. You could also check out the Macbook Pro. Although that tends to be on the expensive side of a budget. Other than that check out what HP has to offer. There computers are very sturdy and stable. And their customer service is pretty good too.

The best thing for laptops is to build your own:

1. Spend most of the $ 900 budget on processor and video card. (You should have the best combination).
2. You shouldn’t care about the casing.. Its just the casing..
3. Canvass the prices around your area.. From parts to assembled systems..
4. Try searching for cheap slightly used second hand laptops online.
