Okay, So if I do have geeksquad check out my "ruined beloved desktop" I was wondering since I want something still powerful but portable I was trying to decide on the MBA 13 or the MBA 11 and I usually do school work and I also game. I'm wondering if one of the two will run these games at low-medium settings: Call of Duty Black Ops (original), League of Legends, Titanfall and Minecraft. If you do decide on which is better for me please respond as quickly as possible. (P.S I plan on buying a new computer in the next few weeks so please post your answer before November 22nd)

Wait can you list out the full specs for the Y50 the have? Just to confirm?

If it has the right video card, it might be worth it. Pay $100 more a video card in the laptop so it can play current games, or save $100 play old games and have it go outta style sooner.

BUT ULTIMATELY, you are buying a new computer soon, so if you can hold off the Titanfall/CoD for a bit then get whichever laptop you want. Pick the one that looks better. If you want can even skimp a bit on the laptop and put that towards the desktop as well.

Both the MBA13 and MBA11 have the same main specs the only difference is pretty much just the screen resolution 1280x800 vs 1440x900. Its not gonna be able to play games like call of duty or titanfall. Might be able to get away with Legend on really low settings, minecraft as well.

You do know that Titanfall is for windows so unless you want to bootcamp+windows or do voodoo on it, I think it would be better to get a Windows Laptop.

If you're spending that much for a MacBook Air you can actually get a really good gaming laptop instead.

MacBook Air and powerful is SUPER DUPER unlikely.

I'd really say order the y50 from Lenovo because all the ones at best buy despite having like 30 models listed have the exact same spec, and we all know Bestbuy mark up.

If it came down to it, yeah the one you picked is ok. (They're all the same there anyways.) Its not gonna Titanfall/CoD, but it'll play the other games you listed and decently too.

And no matter what you get, Worlds better than the Macbook Air
WORLDS OK? OK

Since I really want a new computer.....is pouring in 3 bottles of water into my desktop enough to take it beyond repair ?? (I poured it into the power supply, Back fan Vent, and the side vent directly on to the components and now it wont turn on so does that mean its basically destroyed ???

So are you sure that Pouring one bottle of water directly into the power supply and pouring 1 bottle of water into the back fan vent and Pouring one SMALL bottle of water directly onto the components will take it beyond repair ??
