Author Topic: suggest me a computer under 400  (Read 1100 times)

I dont want some ultra fancy super fast computer, but something that can run blockland with shaders and most games smoothly. im not expecting to play games like CoD or anything. i dont really wanna build one either. im on a tight budget so 400 at max.

edit: also windows 7 is preferred

windows 8 would be faster but whatever is your cup of tea, also are you going to build off it or do you just want it the way it is.





Avoid AMD GPU's.
I got a cheap 600 euro laptop with an Nvidia GPU and I can run shaders on max without any trouble.
Don't get intel, shaders don't work with intel at all.
Windows 8 should be faster but w/e.

EDIT: I got NVIDIA GeForce 825M gpu.

i 400 dollar computer will not run blockland very well. especially with any shaders at all.

maybe...

Believe it or not, you can get Windows on these things. Can't guarantee performance, but hey, it's $35.


i have this 400 dollar computer i got 2 years ago, the only upgrades i've done to it is RAM and a new GPU and it seems to do the job

but you can't get it anymore, sadly

if you're not building a computer for 400 dollars, you're not going to get anything but a shiny office computer.

please explain why you don't want to build one?
