Looking for a low- or mid-cost (PC) laptop that will run Civ VI. (Yes, I know I could get better performance for the cost from a desktop.) Can I get one for under $500? Under $400? I don't mind if the graphics settings are on "low" as long as it does not take forever between turns. Really would like a 13-14" screen as the bigger ones are kind of awkward to hold.

If you have a laptop (any cost) that runs Civ VI, I'd appreciate hearing about your experience (and what your GPU is). I found this handy site notebookcheck.com that gives benchmarks for various laptop GPUs, however it's not always clear which version of the GPU a laptop has when you are shopping. Often they just say something like "Radeon R5" when there are a whole bunch of different versions or configurations of the R5.
 
I run a Fang laptop. i7-4710 CPU, 2.50 GHz, 16 GB RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 video card. Computer is just over 2 years old. It runs Civ 6 just fine, but there is about a 5-10 second "waiting" between turns. It does cost more than $500 though.
