I understand my laptop is outdated and I should upgrade. I recently checked the system requirements for Garry's Mod and am fairly confident I can run it, though I'm not sure. I have a Dell Latitude D520. As I mentioned earlier, it's quite old and not ideal for gaming. Below are the system requirements I listed. Thanks! CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo, RAM: 1GB GPU: Intel 945GM. P.S. It would also be helpful if someone could check if I can play Counterstrike and recommend a laptop under $500 for an upgrade. Thanks - JustNigel

Certainly, I'll avoid using the combination of mechs. Let's focus on the details.

It's easy to run, but avoid strange add-ons as they may slow down or crash the game.
