Bump. Now that I have the money (about 530$) and my brother is willing to pitch in a little for a new computer, what kind do you suggest that would be best for Blockland for around 550$ - 650$? Preferences: >Laptop (are there any good gaming laptops?) >Around 550$ - 650$ *>Can run shaders on max without lag *>Can view a large amount of bricks without lag (Starred must be possible) Please post links to your suggestions so I can see prices and other details. |

And remember, this computer will seriously be used for Blockland about 90% of the time and people keep telling me that I can get a gaming computer for around my price that runs Blockland really well. |

I hardly go to servers with more than 20k bricks anyways, and if I were to (with a good computer) I could just put my shaders setting to low or even medium (if that would help the speed) So, for these specifications, what would you suggest I get (desktop gaming computer)? Remember: just for Blockland, shaders with no lag up to 30k bricks and not in fullscreen or with any other special stuff. |
