Hello. I am a mom buying a laptop for my 12 yr old son. I want for schoolwork. he wants for games. I'm not computer savvy and have probably read too much by now on-line to figure out what is good vs overkill. Basic needs are to do homework and play these games: Minecraft, League of Legends, Cube World.
Here are the specs on the laptop we bought. Price was $680+tax. Is this decent? I still have a week to return if not. THANK YOU!!
