Hey guys I need a new laptop. My budget is $700 and i can raise it up to $750. I know that building a desktop is cheaper and better, but that is not an option for me. I travel in between houses every week, and yes I am aware of mini console size builds, but I think it is just more convenient to carry the laptop. I need it to be able to run minecraft on atleast medium settings on atleast 60 fps. If you can find one that can run it on max settings, that would be awesome. And please, don't make posts telling me to build one, as I already said that is not an option. Thank you!

To be honest, no laptop for that price will give you anywhere near the level of performance that you would get for a desktop of the same price, as with a laptop you are also paying extra for the built in screen, keybourd, and compact components. So I would highly recommend getting yourself a micro atx build. No, its not what you want, but you would get much more out of it.

Wow thanks! I might just get this laptop! It's so cheap as well! But do you know if there is a version with 8gb of ram? If not, then this is alright. Oh and can this record minecraft with decent fps?

6 GB should be fine if u r just playing minecraft.
If u recording u might get 30 FPS.
Laptops aren't good for recording.

Thanks for the info! 30 fps is more than enough. Just 1 question, will this laptop have any performance boost? It is still within my budget, and I just wanna see if it is worth it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... n0z109pcen

I've beenlooking around on amazon and all the laptops around my budget have intel hd graphics, so if you can link a laptop on this forum, that would be very much appreciated

No, building is an option, but you don't want too, because you don't wanna carry a computer that'd be smaller than your laptop around, lol.

Anyways, find a laptop with an a10-5750m, and it'll max out minecraft, or around there.
