Laptop/Desktop Good for Running Games?

Author Topic: Laptop/Desktop Good for Running Games?  (Read 819 times)

Now, to start off, I'd personally rather want a desktop, but my parents want me to buy a laptop to be prepared for when I go to college (which is 4 years away for me), or just the upper classes of high school in case I'll need to bring it to school.
Second of all, I don't expect to run Battlefield 4 or Fallout 4 or anything like that. I play Counter Strike and Minecraft often, and my computer now cannot run them well on even low graphics.

My budget currently is around $1,000-$1,100. It'd be more but my parents are contributing a lot to it and we just recently bought a house so we don't have too much money currently. about $500 or so is coming from me.

So far I have these two on mind, and they're under a grand. They're both laptops and I can most likely find them somewhere else for cheaper than at Best Buy.

I'm going to guess #2 is the better laptop. If you wonderful people could help me find a good laptop in that 1000 dollar range, I'd be thankful :)

(I posted a topic like this months ago, but my price range was like 400 or 500 dollars lol)

Never used this before, but plenty of my friends and people on this forum have said good things about it.
