You can get laptops in that price bracket, but if you can save up a bit more then you can get a whole lot more for your money at the $900-$1000 price point. If you can't wait, look out for "Intel i3" or "AMD Ryzen 3" branding - laptops with the most budget CPUs in these ranges will do a lot better than the alternative Pentium, Celeron and Athlon options and should just about squeeze into this price point.
As a left field option, if all you're doing is playing FM (and perhaps other games) and you can get your hands on one (they aren't currently available officially in Australia), the Steam Deck is worth considering. AU$600 is about what it costs for a basic one (from Valve that is), and it will perform at least as well as any laptop in that price range.
