I'm buying it because Blockland lags a lot for me when I see over (approximately) 3000 bricks. I know for a fact it's better than the current comp I have now.

Is it one of those gaming laptops or so?

ATI Radeon™ HD 4250 Graphics
Integrated ATI Radeon™ HD 4250 graphics features Avivo HD to decode two HD streams simultaneously and provide fluent playback. The 4250 supports DirectX 10.1, Shader 4.0 and Blu-ray® and its core and shader speeds at 500MHz provide efficient performance.

Just saying, you bought a PC that will still start slowing down at 3000 bricks. That's an integrated card.

Next time, buy a desktop PC, not a laptop.

none of the computers at that page have video cards.

laptops CAN game but very few laptops have video chips.
that motherboard integrated crap will not play blockland any better then your comp currently can.

First post you ever made?
Anyways that computer would do fine I think.

Fishpaste.

laptops arent made to be price savvy AND powerful.
for 500 bucks you can get a workable gaming desktop.

Yeah, they're really not. You have to pay about 2x more for a laptop that can do gaming.

I've had bad experiences with desktops.

Laptop isn't for your game fantasy needs dammit, it's for scripters, drawers, developers etc. to do stuff on-the-go, in the bus, at a Cafe', not playing high-requirement games on them (low requirement can be a excuse, as for a freetime timewaste).

That laptop is just fine for what a laptop should be about.

My laptop can play New Vegas so I think laptops are good >:l

You probably have a laptop that costed more than $500.

he linked us to 500 dollar laptops; i think we can assume thats his budget.
otherwise he would have been looking at something else.
