    You probably won't find a $600 laptop that will run BeamNG smoothly. Laptops don't really like BeamNG. With $600 you can build your own desktop PC that will run BeamNG relatively well if you are willing to build.

    Also, a few forums like OCN and TPU have people that'll build for you. I've never used them though.
    I also build computers for people if you need someone to. I'm not advertising though, so no infraction-y things here mods.

    You don't seem to understand. You're not going to get a laptop that will play beamng with anything other than low setting and a small car without lag for $600. A $600 desktop is "meh" and laptop parts are a ton more expensive. Back in 2012 a GPU that usually sold for $100 sold for a top-spec $400 laptop GPU.

    If you want a laptop you can sorta use for gaming, it's gonna be around $1500-2000. High end gaming laptops are about as powerful as a budget gaming desktop PC and three times as expensive.

    Or buy a desktop because gaming laptops are shit anyway.

    Even better option would be to build one, but I know that not everybody wants to do that.

    By buy I meant build. If you buy a pre-built desktop you deserve a special place in PC master race hell.
