	Log in to remove this sponsored message Would this laptop be a good choice to get? http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/retail-product.jsp?poid=2000011715 I've been getting annoyed at my laptop recently and want to get a new one. Would this laptop run Minecraft fairly well? It has an i7 Processor and a Dedicated Graphics Card that has 1 GB dedicated memory. I'm not very smart with computer terminology, but I think that is really good. I looked around in the PC and Hardware for a few minutes but couldn't find a place that my topic would fit into. If there is, please direct me to it. questions

	quote Chekkaa I estimate about 20-30 fps on far render distance. Although Far render distance is unneccesary, and that laptop would play minecraft very well on normal render (which is all you need really).

	quote Chekkaa I estimate about 20-30 fps on far render distance. Is that included on Fancy also? What is the difference between that laptop and say an Alienware? What is needed to consider a laptop a good gaming one?

	quote MrBacon18 quote Chekkaa I estimate about 20-30 fps on far render distance. Is that included on Fancy also? What is the difference between that laptop and say an Alienware? What is needed to consider a laptop a good gaming one? Alienware is best for heavy duty gaming, things like the newest call of duty. Any medium-level computer should handle minecraft well at normal setting (normal render, fast, etc). My computer for example was a simple machine made for basic computering, That worked fine, but my new one (which was top of the range about 3 months ago) can run it on full settings quite happily. So the better the computer, great. but you dont need anyhting super advanced.

Right now I have an integrated graphics card and an i3 Processor, so it will always be a step up haha.

	MrBacon18 Alright sonny. At 20$ more, you can run minecraft on whatever settings you want at 50 fps or higher. http://www.dell.com/us/p/xps-l702x/pd babybakbak has a laptop with the same gpu and cpu, but different periphials, and he plays minecraft using high res texture packs, and far render distance. Just my 2 cents. Final choice is yours of course. ------------------- last.fm

	20-30 fps? what? I currently have the ASUS K53SC, a worse laptop than that one he linked to, and I can get 50-90 fps with an HD texture pack. ------------------- Revenge Solves Everything

	quote bionicle1995 You get a much better PC all round That's arguable. Yes, it's got a better hard drive, more RAM, and a slightly better video card, but the CPU is half as powerful; it's only a dual core instead of a quad core. quote SwiftBlade 20-30 fps? what? I currently have the ASUS K53SC, a worse laptop than that one he linked to, and I can get 50-90 fps with an HD texture pack. Yeah, I just realized my mistake. I was basing my estimation off of my own laptop, but I forgot that I run it at a much higher resolution. MrBacon18 should easily get 50+ fps with the laptop he linked. Also, HD texture packs don't really affect frame rate very much, mostly just load times and RAM usage. ------------------- www.neonshift.com

Chaosfire Do you think that there is possibly a model with the same specs but without the 3D display thing? Or is the $899 without the 3D display thing? And also, is it with an i5 Processor or i7? Because when I've looked around, I've seen both I think. Edit: May 29, 12 9:54pm

I'm not just saying half the cores = half the power in all cases, just in this case. The i5 and the i7 use a similar architecture, and the benchmarks are actually cut in half as well. And I'm also not saying it would affect Minecraft that much, but personally, I wouldn't even consider buying a dual core, because I tend to do heavy multitasking and run multithreaded applications. Maybe MrBacon18 wants that option for the future. After all, we are beginning to move into the age of multithreaded programs. quote MrBacon18 Do you think that there is possibly a model with the same specs but without the 3D display thing?

The one he linked has a dual core i5, which is half as powerful as the quad core i7 in the one you originally linked. You can upgrade the one he linked to have the same i7 for an extra $155. ------------------- www.neonshift.com
