Hi
My son wants a budget gaming laptop for Xmas.
Been looking at the Acer Aspire V3 572g at £479.00

Windows 8.1
Intel Core i5-4210U 1.70 GHz
15.6" Full HD (1920 x 1080) 16:9
NVIDIA GeForce 840M with 2 GB Dedicated Memory
8 GB, DDR3L SDRAM
1 TB HDD

Will this machine handle minecraft, team fortress 2 etc?

Realise that £500 does not get the latest and greatest gaming laptop by a long shot but it does not need to handle the most recent games on the market as he has the usual console for those.

What other machines should I be looking at?

Your help is appreciated
 
It should handle those games fine, 2GB video memory is ok for most games at 1080p and at that budget this is probably your best bang for your buck. Let us know what he thinks of the gift!
