So basically, my mother is buying me a new computer and im very thrilled! (I'm 12)... Basically my maximum price of my budget is $1300-$1400! I definitely want a laptop. (but if there is nothing that can get what im asking for I'd be willing to get a desktop) Right now im looking at a battalion 101 W370SS Gaming Laptop from iBUYPOWER! I've been doing a lot of research and making sure it is right for me but I really haven't found the answers I've been looking for! So as you might've read from above, I want it to run the game Minecraft at 200+ fps (really I want 400+ but 200 would salvage) and I also want to be able to play Dayz at atleast 15+ fps (its a laggy game :/ ) The Battalion that im looking at is customizable and I left it as be except for I added 1tb on the main hard drive ( I might change it to 500) and 500 on the data hard drive.... so here is the part which I am most curious about .. how much fps do you average I will get on these games listed below with these specs listed below...

While you can find a pretty good laptop for that price that can play a lot of games decently...at 30+ fps, because the resolution for most laptops that would be in our budget would not be 1080p screens, so would not be 1080p resolution. If you plan on using a laptop for gaming, then when you take battery life into consideration you would need to be in a location that you could keep it charged.

Honestly, if you plan on taking a laptop everywhere with you, then get a laptop. But if you plan on gaming and using it mostly at home, then I would suggest building your own computer. For that budget you could build a great machine that could play all the games out at 1080p max settings and good fps (with a few exceptions such as poorly optimized games).
