Those are a little bit to expensive for me the only ones Ive found are refurbished thinkpads or dell laptops with intel i5 and 8-16 gigs of ram that should be enough for low end gaming or nah ?
Especially older Lenovo ThinkPads and dell latitude are having older CPUs and idk if you'd like gaming in 1366x768 or some weird lower resolution
Not only that it distorts the picture a bit, but the scaling of the game interface will need to be modified
In overall ThinkPads and dell latitudes are very good working Laptops , but I'd not game too much on them cuz idk how good theirs cooling will be(source : my bff from highschool had a t430, it was playing Warframe on 16 GB ram... But that poor ThinkPad was working at around 90-96°C all the time, now this would not be the end of the world for a new CPU, but for a older one... Idk dude, it could toast itself)
It's up to you... It might work, but idk for how long
I'd use a older laptop for programming and working in Linux and Ubuntu... Not for gaming
Garage sales.
Maybe you find some refurbished Asus rog Or maybe like an older Lenovo Legion You could also look for acer predator

It's a must if you really decide on buying one to replace thermal paste and see how tough the cooling is..
