Buying a good laptop?

Okay so I posted a similar thread in the past about laptops/computers because I currently need a new one, but that didn't help me. So for all you techy people out there, I need help with requirements to play Minecraft (processor, RAM, etc). I'm not interested in any Mac laptops because I've always used Windows and I've never used a Mac. I need the processor, RAM, hard drive. or anything else you think I should pay attention to when buying a laptop. Also, I'm looking for a laptop under $800 since I will purchasing this myself. Thank you:p​

 

I know you're looking for a labtop but I suggest a gaming computer, this fits right under your budget.

Holy crap that was a lot. xDD. And I'll consider it, but idk I kinda want a laptop lol.

 

I can understand awright's want for a laptop, what's better than playing MC in your bed? I use a Dell laptop but that about all ik about it.... I suck at computers ik...

 

I have something that would work for you, its a dell inspiron 15 I believe and it runs minecraft really smoothly while running a few other apps such as spotify or skype. I'll check the specific model, but its around 400 dollars. Its what I use but it works just fine. I checked the model, its a dell inspiron 15 3521

 

No f**king dell.. xD I had a dell before and oh my lord I hated it.

 

I usually do play MC in bed. Like what is there not to love wtf. XD

 

Walmart... :>

 

Yeahhhhh. About that... xD I don't really want to purchase from Walmart either. Too many bad experiences x3

 

Irk? The only problem is because my track pad is angled my mouse tends to slide around :P

 

Well for me I use my dads macbook but I had a acer which was really good I would get around 60fps

 

Use a binder or something under it:D

 

Yeah. I was looking into Acer. Wasn't sure though...
I was currently looking at this one... Idk. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-pavi...lver/2783355.p?id=1219558784091&skuId=2783355

 

But then i have a binder in my hip, and nobody wants a binder in their hip.

 

Ohhh my brother has that xD he gets 100 fps.. and I get 55 I cri everitimi

 

Whats wrong with a dell? I havent had any trouble with mine

 

How do you have a binder in your hip? LOL Okay whatever. I use a binder.

 

Nonononononnono

 

That's so dumb if you want better FPS on Minecraft then get a gaming labtop

 

Have you ever considered using the damn thing for other purposes? Like school? Oh wait... no. You're dumb. :p
