Hello! I need to purchase a laptop but have limited funds. I only have 185 dollars, which isn't the main currency here. The laptops I found are:
- Lenovo B50-80 with i5 5200U, 8GB RAM, 500GB HDD, SSD not included
- Lenovo Thinkpad T530 with i7-3520M, 8GB RAM, 500GB HDD, SSD not included

Also, could you suggest a good low-budget option I should consider?

You're risking wasting resources on a laptop with a 3rd Gen i7 from Intel, especially since we're already using the 12th and moving toward the 13th generation. An older laptop isn't a wise choice. Do you have any links to the models you're considering? (Note: The dollar sign isn't the main currency in my country.) Also, I question whether you'll find reliable options with this budget.

Sure, I understand. You can share a link if you'd like, but it seems you're suggesting saving money now to purchase a better laptop later.

I’m checking out these deals for you. The Lenovo B50-80 is listed as a SuperVip offer, and the Lenovo ThinPad T530 appears in a Basic offer. Just to clarify, I’m focusing on games that fit my current needs—mainly hardware-heavy titles like CSGO.

When the cost is low, it's advisable to purchase a Chromebook if you're comfortable using Chrome until you can afford a Windows laptop capable of gaming.
