Buying a good laptop?

HP Pavilion is a pretty decent one.

 

I've considered those.

 

I'm not very good with knowledge with laptops but I can definitely tell you NOT to rush with your purchase. One minute you think you have made a good buy and then you accidentally find a better laptop. However; get a PC; it's better than a laptop.

What you need to consider is the processor primarily. DO NOT get AMD. It should be i5 at least. Sorry I babble.

 

Purchase a laptop with at least Intel i5, not any of the AMD stuff.

 

That's helps a lot bc I didn't know what to get between AMD or Intel.

 

Ok ok ok ok. I'm a big computer geek (Obvisouly) So I see no reason why you're all hating on AMD. I'm running (Upgraded from my 2ghz) AMD A8-quadcore 3.4ghz procssor

 

I know they break down easily.

 

Sorry internet shut off.

Ok back to what I was saying here. I've had my AMD for about 5 1/2 months before upgrading to a new one because I wanted my laptop to be faster. I've never had a problem and have been working with AMD for years. Every computer I've owned has had AMD and the only reason for replacement was SSD/HHD malfunction. I advise @Awrightgirl go with what she wants in her price range, no matter the brand AMD or Intel.

 

I've heard you can get this laptop for under $800, but I will leave you to search around for it :P
There has been fps tests with this laptop also, and it's said you can get around 50+ FPS on Mass Effect 3, which is much more detailed than Minecraft, So, I think you could get around 200 fps playing Minecraft with this.

acer aspire v3-771g

 

Lmao okay. If you are a big technical person why did your internet shut off? LMAO jk ily.

 

How much RAM will I need?

 

Is this one a good one? o.o http://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-pavi...lver/4888026.p?id=1219644187914&skuId=4888026

 

To run Minecraft, with good fps. Minimum I would say, 4GB. But then you will also be wanting a good processing speed. I would say around 2GHz and above, you might get off with a 1.6GHz.

 

I actually think this laptop would work well in your favour.

 

I'm not saying it's bad but for s little more mine would make it look like s potato. JUST SAYING

 

lmao k

 

I heard acers are pretty good

 

This is the mistake, People never pay attention to the Specs, that comp will get you 30fps at least. Btw, Laptops break down fast and are made cheap, Get a PC they are way faster/stronger and can be customized. As @UncleUrnesto said get -->http://www.walmart.com/ip/iBUYPOWER...e-and-Windows-7-Home-Premium-Monitor/35119954 It has descent specs at a low price.

 

I've said it a thousand times, I want a laptop. XD
