  1. Yes I saw your post :)

    Just exploring my various options. I have a good idea what I will end up picking out. Just need to wait for paychecks to come through.

  6. I'm not sure if I would go with that one, even if it was for a low price. The Intel GMA card isn't the best for gaming, as I've used a computer pretty similar to that one which gets only about 20-30 FPS on Minecraft, at the most. The processor also isn't the best; only a 2GHz dual-core, plus only 3GB of RAM, which is half of what Chickeneer was looking for.

  7. Nothing to intense. I stick to mostly Minecraft; but have been a bit limited on what else I can play on my current computer.

  16. At full screen, i get 30+ FPS :) It's also a great laptop for doing multiple things at the same time, like 6 tabs on chrome, some word a mp3 file playing, still no/almost no lag doing that. :) (btw i have other screen connected, 21 inch, that makes it even more heavy.

  17. Oh, speaking of FPS, if you make the MC screen smaller, it'll get 100+

  19. None of those things are particularly CPU intensive, I have an old computer with only 2 GB's of RAM that can do all those things. But that doesn't make it a great computer, especially not for gaming. I would still try to shoot for 8 or more GB's or RAM and the i5 or i7 processors.

  20. If you really want to buy something powerful with your full budget, I have drooled over this system before...

    If not, a good $700 + tax one is

    You have a Microcenter in Kansas, so...

    The convenience might be worth the tax to you. There is just something about seeing what you buy in person before you get it. If I may suggest it, go to Microcenter and find yourself a laptop that you like/fits your needs most efficiently, then buy it online:)
