Q. So my wife and I are looking to get new laptops (her's might be a necessity) soon. And since, like many of you I'm sure, $$ is a factor. I get TigerDirect emails all the time for laptops starting @ like $349 or something.
But , I want a laptop that will be good for video editing and be on the smaller end that still has the high resolution (so i can fit more on screen at one time)
What is out there for under $500, if they are out there, and where are they? Thanks!

Answer
a decent laptop at 500 is a stolen laptop. Then again I'm really picky when it comes to a laptop or any computer in general.

Best Laptop HP for under 500 bucks and under?
Q. I was wondering what HP laptop under 500 dollars would be best for games like ROBLOX or video editing.
Answer
If you will game on the laptop then try to find one that has VIDEO card which is not shared memory with RAM.
If it says Intel GMA HD Graphics, most likely it shared RAM, which means video will suck and wont be able to handle most games. If you are looking for a brand new laptop which can handle higher end games like World of War Craft 3 then I dont think $500 is enough.
When you see that a laptop has something like NVIDIA GeForce GT 740M, then that most likely well be able to handle a game.
You have to make sure the laptop can handle DirectX 11 because all newer games use DirectX11
IN CONCLUSION
Find a laptop you can afford, read the specifications, go visit the website for the video card and see if it can handle the game your trying to play.
I provided a link below for an HP laptop $539.94 it should work. Also provided link for graphic card in it.
FOLLOW UP - You plan to play ROBLOX it only needs DirectX 9 Here is what I found out:
Graphics Card: ROBLOX requires DirectX 9 minimum and Shader Model 2.0.
For the best performance we recommend either a computer less than 5 years old with a dedicated video card, or a laptop less than 3 years old with an integrated video card.
RAM or Memory: ROBLOX recommends you have at least 1 GB of memory on Windows Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8 computers. At least 512 Mb of memory is recommended for Windows XP.
Storage Space: ROBLOX recommends you have at least 20 Mb of system storage space to install ROBLOX.
Here is a link for an HP laptop that will support this game.

BUT if you plan to purchase a better game this laptop will have a hard time running it probably.
