Reddit mentions of Dell Inspiron 15.6" Display Laptop PC Intel i5-7200U Processor 256GB SSD DVD-RW HDMI 802.11ac Webcam Bluetooth Windows 10-Gray (8GB RAM | 256GB SSD)

I would not take any of those simply because the integrated graphics are really poor. Some types of Intel 620 don't even get updated drivers anymore, and the Radeon Vega benchmarks REALLY low.

Here's a link to a site I use, and you don't have to know what the numbers mean, but when you see a 6000 vs. a 2000, you know how much better one is.

My video card in my desktop PC that I've had for 3 years

vs. the one in your link that had a AMD Radeon Vega 8

Now, I'm not expecting you to get a super expensive video card on your budget, but you need to see if you can find a laptop that focuses on the graphics.

​

Here is an example of a laptop on Amazon that really hits the mark on GPU. It uses a HDD instead of a Solid State, but for SWTOR that just means your load screens take quite a bit longer. Your gameplay shouldn't be affected. However it is over your budget. But what I like is that it has a nVidia GTX 1050 dedicated graphics card (not an integrated card), which has a passmark score of 4700, which is more than twice the number you'll see on Intel 620, or Radeon Vega (and it will have its own memory, integrated cards take from your system's memory). Maybe you can find a refurb (sometimes called Renewed) version that meets your budget.

​

I can't find a system on Amazon that meets your price point without sacrificing a lot on the GPU.

This is in your budget and has a decent CPU and solid state drive, but uses the intel integrated 620, which will play SWTOR, but it will be on low settings (and if SWTOR ever changes its graphics engine, you'll probably be out of luck)

See if you can find something that has:

• Dedicated graphics. Just go to google and type the name of the GPU that you see on the website and passmark, like MX150 Passmark and you'll get the direct page on the sites I linked (or go to that site and put it in the search bar), you want the Price-Performance page in the google results.
  
• An intel i5 or Ryzen 2500 (or higher), stay away from the A6 or A12, or anything that says Dual Core (SWTOR doesn't need a quad core processor, but I tend to find computers that still use dual-core processors tend to be super low end and probably will be bad for game play). Intel i3 is fine if it has a dedicated GPU. i3 + integrated video = no.
  
• Make sure it has at least 8 GB RAM
  
• Solid State Drive is good, but don't let that drive your decision. At this price point, you'll be seeing 128 GB SSD's which may not serve you well if you want to have a couple of games on there and the OS.
  
• I'll edit if I can think of anything else.

I'm trying to find a laptop capable of running studio one. I've been on amazon for the past 2-3 weeks and the prcoessor requirement said i3 or above but I also searched around and multiple people said that a processor (Intel) with U in it isn't sufficient enough to run a DAW but those are pretty much the only types of processors that I see on amazon thats within my budget. Please help.

Well personally I like the acer, but for those brands there is this Lenovo 320S, and this Business Dell Inspiron,
