So I am looking for a new laptop that can handle everyday functions but can also handle mmorpg games. Looking to spend 1k or less. I like pc’s so I want to stay with a pc. Do you guys recommend buying a laptop then updating the graphics card or buying the laptop with the graphics card preinstalled?

You have to buy it preinstalled. Its nothing like a desktop where you can swap video cards in 5 minutes. When you buy a laptop, make sure you get the best gpu option that will suit your needs for awhile as well as a nice resolution monitor for the games. All the other basic components can be swapped out (cpu, ram, hd, dvd drives etc) in the future if thats your thing.
