Hey guys, so basically the title says it all. I am looking for something with the size of a netbook, but can handle light gaming. I have two games that are a must. Counter strike global offensive and runescape... yes runescape. So I was looking around and came across the chromebook. The only issue with this is I would have to install crouton? I think its called; in order to install steam. I have no experience with linux whatsoever. the other issue is runescape. Runescape is run with java and java does not work on chromebooks, but runescape does have a beta version for HTML5 but that runs very slow on my high end desktop so I cant imagine it being any better on a netbook. I would like to stay in the $300 range and I feel like that would be asking for alot. It doesnt necessarily have to be a netbook, but I would prefer that size.

Thank You.

For $300 you can not get anything gaming that is a PC. Most true gaming gpu's almost and in cases exceed $300.
 
As both the above posters said, netbooks are not gaming machines, they have low end CPU's and low end integrated graphics with limited memory. Do people even buy netbooks anymore?

For $300 your only option is used. If you check eBay there are some decent gaming laptops that are several years old that sell for around $300 that would be able to play those games, but it's a gamble on the condition and if the battery still holds a charge.

That's not the size of a netbook, those are well under 13"
