Getting a new laptop. Need help deciding on one.

[Trymos]

So i'm getting a laptop in a few months and i need help deciding on one.
It has to be a laptop. I prefer them over desktops anyways.

Requirements:
-Able to run Everquest 2, blockland and minecraft decently.
-No goddamn intel video cards.
-320 GB hard drive minimum. I'll be installing ubuntu on this laptop and i wanna leave plenty of hard drive space for both windows and ubuntu.

I prefer for my laptop to have some sort of OS recovery software although it's not really required.

Okay okay, these are the laptops i'm now thinking about.

I don't plan to do high end gaming.

I'll keep that laptop in mind if it's in stock when i purchase a laptop.

A Geforce 410m will perform poorly for games like Minecraft.  Minecraft isn't exactly lenient or optimized.

A 555m will be better.

I googled about the 410m and i saw this:

The rendering power of the GeForce 410M is similar to the integrated Intel HD Graphics 3000.

I agree with you now. I'll do a bit more searching before i decide between AMD radeon or Nvidia.

It's not super bad, but it's just not great enough for Minecraft if you want to play it well.

Plus, for the money, you can't just say no to it.

I know.

It's not easy to decide at all.

Deactivated. This item is currently out of stock and it may or may not be restocked.

Any alternatives in case if it doesn't get restocked?

[Trymos]

Bump.

So far i'm thinking about this as an alternative if the lenovo is not in stock when i get a laptop.

If you got something else to suggest for the alternative go ahead and suggest it.
