so this may be best place to ask if not do let me know lol . anyways i know gaming laptops can be better then others (?). cause there for gaming? anyone know of an good laptop that under like 500.00 perfured to be around 300 or less? or even an good laptop around that price. one of mine isnt conneting to the net as well anymore (it aways funky) so looking into seeking an new one 

They can be better than others but that also means they are usually far more expensive because they need a lot more power and tech to run today's games. if you are looking for a gaming computer to actually run games like Elden Ring, Baldur's Gate 3, Monster Hunter and so on, then a gaming laptop is a good idea. But a good one will probably at minimum cost around $1,000 or more. Desktop gaming rigs can go even higher. 

If you are just looking for a laptop for web browsing, watching videos, word processing and doing HP graphics and so on, a normal laptop should be fine. You can always look to beef up a few components like RAM or graphics card, but the latter is also fairly pricy.

looking for one to do hp /web stuff and ya but will stay conneting to the net. tired of being booted off lol or it just not hooking up

If your laptop is still in good condition, it may be worth it to try and see about getting it fixed if you have a place near you that repairs electronics. It could be just your ethernet/wifi adaptor that's failing, and getting that fixed could be a lot cheaper then getting a whole new laptop if that's the issue.

I would keep an eye on college deals that are going to be happening this month.  Im not in college, but was able to get an amazing quality laptop for a good price.  

this certain laptop never really worked well with the net. my other one stays hooked up to my net. so idk it just an chromebook so prob not worth fixxing. just looking around to find the best one for me before it crashes 

and thank you amberellie i have to do that
