...yay?
Also, I am a professional at computer selection, if you need to choose one, just tell me.
no
I need the answer to a few more questions:boh123321 wrote:What kind of computer should i get for heavily modded minecraft and other 3d games such as Portal 2 and Team Fortress 2 (on full settings)
-How much are you ready to pay for?
-Any particular specifications for computer? (screen size, etc.)
-What country do you live in? Availability is different in certain countries.
Other than that, I am looking through some laptops checking benchmarks and stuff. So far, have found a few that could be good.
1. Can pay around 600-700$garirry wrote:I need the answer to a few more questions:boh123321 wrote:What kind of computer should i get for heavily modded minecraft and other 3d games such as Portal 2 and Team Fortress 2 (on full settings)

2. Only specification is 15 inch screen, maybe high quality (if it doesn't cost too much). I don't care for touchscreen.
3. I live in the United States.
no

Well, you CAN build a laptop, but it's practically useless, it doesn't let you save much money and doesn't give you enough options. As tyteen said, building a desktop computer is much cheaper than buying one, and even buying one new costs less than a laptop. So, if you think you're only going to play at home and never carry it with you, then this is the computer for you.boh123321 wrote:You can build your own laptoptyteen4a03 wrote:Do you have anybody that are eligible for educational discounts? Can you build your own PC instead? (Much cheaper)
I thought you could only build desktops.
And no, I don't think anyone is eligible for discounts. Unless high school counts?
As for discounts, I think it only applies to university students, maybe college, but not high school.
Oh, I see. Well, I've found this so far. Gonna search more tomorrow, right now, my mind isn't functioning that late at night.boh123321 wrote:Main problem with desktop is that it is impossible to move around when you need it to move. Occasionally some event pops up which requires me to move the computer for some reason, and moving desktops is a real pain.
That looks nice! And the best part, it isn't labeled as a gaming laptop so my parents can't protest to it being designed for gamesgarirry wrote:Oh, I see. Well, I've found this so far.

Yeah, I don't like these computers like the Alienware stuff that look too "gamer". All those flashy lights around the computer, and it's way too thick. Me personally, I'm not much into heavy gaming, I'm a Mac user.boh123321 wrote:That looks nice!

I accept that Apple is the superior company to every other, but I can not for the life of me get used to the software. Plus, their laptops are somewhat expensive, even though they are excellent.garirry wrote:Yeah, I don't like these computers like the Alienware stuff that look too "gamer".

Sure. There are two ways to do it:boh123321 wrote:A question to garirry:
Can a Mac run windows programs in any way? Is there an emulator or something that can let me do so? If so, then I just might get a MacBook Pro.
1.Install Windows on a secondary partition. The + is that your Windows programs will take full advantage of your computer's specs. The - is that you have to sacrifice a part of the hard drive for your Windows and that you have to restart your computer if you want to switch OSes.
2.Install Windows using a virtualization program. There are three major programs to do this. VirtualBox is free, but isn't very good. VMWare Fusion costs 60$, and is nice. Parallels Desktop is 80$, and is great. The + is that you can install any system whatsoever without having to risk erasing your hard drive, restarting your computer, etc. The - is that the Windows apps will not take full advantage of your computer's specs, so even if you got a decent MacBook Pro, you can't run overly heavy software, such as Vegas Pro.
Me personally, I use the second option, since I don't use heavy programs on my Windows and I would like to have direct access to both systems without too much effort.
