Hello, so im getting a new laptop within the week, i need one that is under $1k and can run minecraft at over 60 fps.

Other games ill probably play a little: tf2, insurgency, hearthstone, on these games i can turn the settings to lowest i dont really care.

http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Laptops/HP-ENVY/G1L49AV?jumpid=ba_r329_hhoaffiliate&aid=38293&pbid=je6NUbpObpQ&aoid=35252&siteid=je6NUbpObpQ-00Ph863QZ9JFyH2S8rau4g <--- Thats the laptop i had in mind, the parts look very good for the price.

The reason i cant get a super expensive one is because my dads buying it, and he has to get one for my bro too. My bro plays warframe and atm gets 20 fps max, i feel bad for him and id like to see him get 60 fps :D

So any suggestions on a laptop under $1k that can run mc/warframe at 60+ fps? (low settings if needed)

Also what do you think about the laptop i linked?

Stay away from HP, even today they still have a poor record for build-quality, reliability & performance.

ASUS or Toshiba are the brands to go for: http://www.bitsonline.org/news/111-asus-leads-in-laptop-reliability-beats-all-other-competitors-

I can vouch for Toshiba brand. My Satellite (4 years old) oozes quality, very solidly built, very reliable, and that's not a bad verdict considering I bought it second hand.

The games you just mentioned would be a joke with this. Your very lucky the your dad would buy you something like that with the games you are playing. You could easily find a laptop that could play all of those at half the price. Still i'm not much of a laptop gamer so I, personally would just make a $400 gaming desktop that would run faster and easily play all of the games mentioned above :), but to each their own. I don't know much about laptops but if your dad's buying it that would run everything you have fine. What were the specs of the machine you had before?

Yeah a desktop would be WAY better, but i live in Costa Rica, and im in San Diego atm (where i grew up when i was little, im 13 and my bro is 16) so we cant take desktops on a plane, and shipping them on a container is risky imo, currently i have an hp pavilion g6 that me/my bro got 3 years ago, he ended up getting my dads old pc (becuause my dad loves macs more xD) mine gets 20-40 fps in mc (the game i mainly play) and my bro gets 10-20 in warframe.


This laptop probably is overboard, but i don't want to go with something too cheap.

In a year or so, or less depending on some things, i could easily afford a way better rig, but for now this looks pretty good imo.

Well with the laptop you were looking into you're going to be doubling your ram and going from an i3 to an i7 (with near 1.5x the power) your should notice a significant difference when gaming. Minecraft and Warframe aren't extremely taxing games and should easily be able to run on the machine that you picked out on near max settings so I wouldn't worry about it.

EDIT: Follow the expert I don't know enough about laptops to give you as good advice as he will. Still in terms of raw specifications that machine will do what you want as to whether it is of good build quality or not I have no idea

I trust asus, they're the best things ever i hear, they look like solid beasts. The thing is they're all over $1k, and the specs are even lower than the hp i linked for a lot more, and even if the specs were better, we cant get 2 $1k+ laptops atm.
