He says he is only doing minimal level gaming, not the action shoot 'em ups that need a high refresh rate.
The Toshiba laptop that looks like the best deal has an AMD Radeon R4 chip which does not seem to be highly rated for gaming but decent enough for everything else.
The problem is, he wants a laptop for portability but he also wants to game. In my budget, he is not going to get both in the same computer.
If he wants to serious gaming, he'll have to go back to a desktop computer so we can upgrade the video card. I've got two desktops in the attic, we could put together a system in one of those for MUCH less than a high end laptop would cost - AND get him a huge monitor. Then we could still have a smaller, lighter laptop for traveling.
Oh - and there's the part where he's not supposed to be gaming all day. He is supposed to be scanning his grandmother's journals and letters but he's screwing around instead.
