[Thotimus]

Looking to buy a new laptop as my old one up and died. My budget is around 300-400$(USD), somewhere in that ball park. 

Specs im looking for: 
RAM:- 4GB DDR4

HDD:-500(min) would prefer more
SSD:250GB if possible 

Screen:- 13 inches or more (Not something like the ideapad 330)

Battery: something that can last me at least 5-6 hours

Keyboard:No preferences anything goes.
Preferably lightweight cause ill need to carry it around Uni alot.

In a similar boat looking for black Friday deals.

 

Looking for a lap top for a 9 and 10 year old some some light gaming.

 

Best buy has the Asus Viviobook 15.6 at 399.99

Walmart has the Acer Aspire 5 at 399.99

I don't know how to compare these 2.

 

 

And I have no idea about the amazon deals

https://www.amazon.ca/deal/6b0fb86d/ref=gbps_img_m-5_bdaa_6b0fb86d?moreDeals=012a06a2,a148bfed&showVariations=true&BFDay=true&smid=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_p=2c592d9f-7160-43ea-a27e-b7cb157dbdaa&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-5&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=6054205011&pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_r=MS8BFNFSWP394N5WCV8Z

Though a stellar deal at $300 may tempt me to buy 2 (i have 2 boys 9 and 10)

 

Any deals or advice is welcome. I have no idea what i'm looking for and comparing products is confusing. For this $300-$400 price point what is the best deal?

 

I will note both these appear to me the op requirements.

A helpfull user on discord suggested that this is the lowest end that would run minecraft. I assuem these would run them on min settings. long as it runs i'm happy.

 

Also suggested these 2.

and

I still struggle on how to compare the units.

 

Min requirments for minecraft

Minimum Requirements:

• CPU: Intel Core i3-3210 3.2 GHz / AMD A8-7600 APU 3.1 GHz or equivalent

• RAM: 4GB

• GPU (Integrated): Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Ivy Bridge) or AMD Radeon R5 series (Kaveri line) with OpenGL 4.4*

• GPU (Discrete): Nvidia GeForce 400 Series or AMD Radeon HD 7000 series with OpenGL 4.

but most processors on even more expensive units are less than 3.1ghz...i'm very confused.
