There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

Due to your budget constraints, I'd recommend just picking up a 24" POS 1920x1080 dell monitor. Check Craigslist or some such, I've given two away myself to people who needed them, so they are pretty ubiquitous. DON'T buy anything solid until you have the funds for a desktop system. There's a sub-reddit which will assist you in making your system on the cheap (buildapc or buildapcforme). Just start looking all that up and getting familiar with the parts you'll need.
Save up, and ditch the laptop. You should be able to build a decent setup for $300-$400, but $500 and change will get you a decent system with a 970 (or AMD equivalent) which will get you started in "real" PC gaming.
I'd recommend building it yourself. It's not that hard with all the tutorials out there. Plenty of people can help you, gratis. In fact, I had my daughter build her PC on her 9th birthday and she required minimal assistance (mounting the mobo on the case was hard because of the size of her hands; the only assistance I gave her).
That's my suggestion. Take it as you will.
