    But better processor? Perhaps the OP likes the colour;-) Seriously, won't the integrated Intel 4400 do for old(er) games?

    Then she can just get a cheaper laptop with an i5 processor.
    Most of the laptops will do for older games, but if you are gong to buy a laptop for gaming in general, a dedicated graphics chip is best.

    None of them are particularly bargainous.

    Is it not more appropriate to let man choose what laptop he wants? So just give him a budget and let him choose one?

    Most of todays generation are computer literate and only he knows what games he's playing and what specs he's going to need.

    EDIT: Or at least have him come up with a suitable laptop, and then seek to find cheaper alternatives online

    Which Lenovo? There have been three so far. None of the laptop featured are great, but that is the way it is these days. Not much in the way of a bargain.
