Hey Guys! I'm AwesomeAntlo.

So, Recently, I have been wanting to purchase a computer. Here's my requirements..

- Requirements -
I need it to run minecraft without lag, and I need to be able to record Minecraft, without lag. I will mainly be using it for Minecraft & web browsing, so I don't think it needs to be too decked out.

I would prefer it to be a laptop so I can take it places, but if it MUST be a desktop, I am okay. *Preferred LAPTOP*

Alright, since that's clear, unfortunately I'm not the richest man alive, so I do have a budget.

Budget - $400-$500
I'm not sure if it's possible to find a good computer for this. I barley know anything about the insides of the computers, which is why I came here.

Thanks in advance for helping!

Regards,
AwesomeAntlo

You have been told wrong, lol. You won't be recording with that, let alone playing very well. You're gonna want a dedicated video card, which that doesn't have.

For what you want, you will not get that for under ~800 dollars with a laptop.

You can do what you want with a desktop though, but you'll have to build it. For 500, you can get a decent rig that'll max out Minecraft, and record at well over 60 fps.

A friend of mine has an Asus laptop that works really well with Minecraft, and if you want to play other games for your channel on the future, it runs well with most games. Give me a sec to find it.

I'd advice learning about these things. I'll see if I can find you something though.

Alright thanks

Does anyone have any recommendations for a laptop?
- What kind of processor does it need?
- What about a graphics card, do they matter?

I don't know much about the parts, that's why I'm asking for help.

Check out Newegg.com!
There should be something there.

Isn't that a site where you pick out parts? That's the problem, I don't know much about computers so I don't know what parts to pick.

Thanks for replying though

No, you can pick out parts, they also have desktops and laptops as well.
