Stop having a war over iOS and Windows.
Mac's are just as good as computers.
Buuuuuuut: You can't upgrade parts.

Awh, look at the noobs, "debating" over which OS is better. You're gonna get this locked.
@op Like 57r4d said, you could get a desktop, that'd be way faster than that laptop, for the same price. You can even get small computers, if your only reason for a laptop is "portability".

Your parents think you'll gamble? Porn is inevitable but do your parents know much about the internet?
Also, they don't trust you?

The internet is obviously full of 12 year olds gambling.

And your laptop won't be in your room? That logic doesn't make sense...

Do you really need to buy a laptop? You could triple the performance of one for the same price if you build your computer.

Of those two, get the second. You probably won't need the optical drive and definitely won't be needing 16 GB as opposed to 12. They're the same price, but the second one sacrifices 4 GB of RAM and an optical drive in favor of a dual GPU (which is a good trade-off).

I was gonna get that one for that reason anyway!

I think that looks pretty good. However, I'd go with ASUS ROG or something instead; I've noticed that Lenovo computers have these proprietary ports as HDMI replacements, and they're the only computer to have that kind of port; a converter is needed. The ASUS has VGA and HDMI. The ASUS G46VW is what I have, it's the 2.5GHz i5-3210M edition with a 750GB hard drive, and it works pretty well. Minecraft runs around 70fps at good graphics settings... it used to run faster, 110fps at max settings but there's a lot of stuff on my hard drive now so it's a bit slower, but still works. I get about 40-60fps while recording. Got it off Newegg for $799 (~475 pounds), but they don't have it anymore, so you'd have to pay in the range of $1200 to $1500 (~715-890 pounds), which is still cheaper than the Lenovo at $1680 (list price on website = 1000 pounds).

That laptop should be able to what you want

Mac is bullshit but if another option is windows 8 I would get the mac because no computer is almost better than windows 8. Windows 8 is hard to understand, u can't find your files anywhere, there are apps (apps in the computer WTF?) shut down button is hard to find, when you open computer you have to search where the hell is desktop button etc.

Windows 8 is awesome, I got the free 8.1 upgrade. Windows 8 is the last straw for many old games, but usually some mod or something can get it to work.

Why not to get a Mac:
- Interface
- Files
- For the same money you can get a twice as good laptop (Not saying that mac runs slow, just you could get a much better one)
Why to get a Mac:
- It has the apple logo on it.
Interface is not a problem, much more intuitive that windows 8, and if you hate it that much apple even provides you a free tool that lets you run windows on it, for free
They come packed with useful software & built quality components
They boot in 10 seconds for gods sake, and if you need to share a file with some one in your network with another mac you can just drag and drop....
if you have any problem with your mac while on the warranty period (wich you can extend), you dont return to be repaired, they give you a new pc on spot, that can have all aps and crap your old one has cause of time machine.
Twice as good laptop, i can't argue with that you can get better pcs for gaming, but most certainly will not last as long as a mac does
much more intuitive than windows 8? well tell me three things that are wrong with windows 8.
1
SOLUTION TO ALL PROBLEMS: Just get whatever OS you want, install virtual machines. Problem solved (although virtual machines do not have 3-d or fancy stuff like that.)

WINDOWS FTW! Even if windows 8 is shit

Mac V Windows flame war on the way!

I had the Lenovo y510p it can run most games smoothly!

MikeStardustzymasasMikeStardustGet a mac.
mac for gaming? are you stupid?
Yeah why not? i use my mac for gmod, tf2, cs:go and it holds up like a charm
There are better pcs for gaming i acknowledge that, but a mac a computer you buy once and lasts for a life time. Runs most of games smoothly, less viruses and if you have any trouble, they'll exchange your pc on the spot for a new one.
The price you'll be paying for that pc, i'd go for a mac for sure.
Am i stupid now? who plays the most? highschool & college students. The computer that is most used by college students is a macbook air... i guess the world is full of stupid people like me.. if only there were more brilliant geniuses like you ...

Looks good apart from the HDD. Slow SATA-II HDD which would impact loading time. Other than that though, looks good.

The newer Macs have decent specs, with a proper dedicated graphics card. Still doesn't make them worth the money though. PC - the master race!

Minecraft with shaders runs like its nothing.
