I need to find a computer that can run Minecraft at 50+ fps, and can maybe handle some other games like DayZ. I'm looking to spend only around 400$, so if anybody can help me find one that would be awesome.

Honestly I don't know of a single laptop in that price point that can do that unless you are going to install optifine and lower the graphics settings in Minecraft. And DayZ is still getting optimized and worked on so I don't know how much the end result will need. I hope someone else will have a better answer.

My current laptop ran minecraft at about 35fps for 350$ until it broke down, and this came out in about 2011. Maybe my expectations for the progession of technology is a bit of an overestimation, but maybe there's something for about 400$ that can run minecraft at about 40fps?

The OP is asking for 50+ fps, which I said is possible if they install optifine and run at lower settings. 40 fps is not 50 fps, not to sound mean. And there possibly are some out there in the price range that can run Minecraft decent, but what about other games such as DayZ? And that is also why I said that I hoped someone else will have a better answer.

you just quoted the op and then talked about the op LOL. Either way, i'd suggest going for any laptop that has an i3/i5 that is NOT a u version and is the 4000 series. EX: i5-4670 not i5-4670u (these are just random models taken from desktop i5's, not actual laptop versions, used for examples) the u means its a low power model and therefore has weaker graphics. Minecraft should easily be able to run on an i5 if you can find one in your price range.
