I regret for buying my laptop!

[Trushuks]

No for real I start to feel bad for taking my laptop in leasing, because this website - http://cyri.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/ - shows me that my laptop sometimes is even below minimum requirements for games I own and want. Mostly it's because of CPU speed what's only 1.80GHz, or CPU (Intel Pentium CPU 2117U) isn't good enough, or just doesn't like something about my video card (2GB), meaning, doesn't like model or is 1GB lower, or my RAM (4GB) isn't big enough. :-(
Seems like easier would be give this back and take some better laptop, insted of putting better parts in it, I even don't know if I can replace some parts. :-/

Give back the laptop and build for yourself a cheap desktop.

How much could you get back for it?

You say leasing? Then how much actual money have you got saved that you could buy a computer with? Give me a budget and tell me what you need, like tower, Windows OS, monitor, keyboard, speakers and mouse or just tower or what combination?

Then I will show you how to put together a computer for yourself from the right parts that you need for your budget.

Gaming on laptops is always expensive. Leasing computers is generally a bad idea, it costs more which leaves you even poorer than before.

Yes never lease hardware like that, especially for long term use.
If you can't shell out the cash for something as a computer, go with a credit card u can trust that offers good financing. I prefer cash myself, or put that cash in bank and then buy online with my card, without credit card payments. But sometimes it's the kind of route u may have to take. Especially if u are trying to go to college and get started out there, without any help.

Well I can show you how to put together a better desktop tower for like $200-$200 at the lowest and for $400-600 you can get something pretty good.

I don't think I'm gonna get any money back, if so then it will not same amount of money what I've paid, because of monthly percentage.
Gaming on laptops - expensive, I think gaming PC is more expensive because then there need monitor, keyboard, speakers, that's why I stick to laptop.
About leasing I totally agree, but I differently wouldn't were able to get laptop at all!

Since I don't work, I don't have that kind of cash to buy laptop. Even if I bought laptop, for example, with American Express, I would give that money back anyway!

I had an idea if I'll be able to replace parts with better, then I won't give back. Not all at once, but one by one. So I need to go to retailer and ask there if I can do that!

Well for about $400 or more you can put together a desktop tower + monitor with included small speakers + keyboard + free Linux OS (instead of Windows for $100) that will be better than a laptop for the same price. It might be true that under that price range there will be laptops that are cheaper than desktops but the performance will be far lower.

Here is a example of the tower only for $300~ after rebates.

AMD Athlon X4 750K 3.4 Ghz 4 core CPU unlocked for overclocking + HD 6570 1GB GPU
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2mdec
Base Total: $351.33
Mail-in Rebates: -$55.00
Shipping: $4.57
Total: $300.90

You used to be able to get a A10 5800K APU build for that price but RAM prices and other prices have gone up so I have had to move down to a slower 4GB and use a real dedicated GPU with faster built in RAM instead of a APU's built in GPU. The Athlon x4 750K has the same CPU as the A10 APU but the built in GPU is disabled thus the need for the separate card.

I would not recommend this system if you can afford to spend more BUT it will probably be a lot better than a laptop for the same price if you can stand to use free Linux OS instead of Windows, even when you add on another $110 for the monitor.

Here is a $110~ monitor:
Acer G236HLBbd 60Hz 23.0" Monitor
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/acer-monitor-umvg6aab01

It's much bigger than a laptop monitor and the resolution is better than most or all cheap laptops are able to go up to. This monitor is 1920*1080 resolution and 23 inches.

Other than that you can get a cheap keyboard and mouse for about $5 each, speakers $10-$20, USB drive 16 GB $10~, USB wifi adapter $5-$10 and for operating system (OS) you can use any Linux OS for free or buy 64bit WIndows 7 or 8 for about $100.
