So I own (Don't judge) a gaming laptop, MSI GE60 0ND-047US to be exact. Which I bought with insurance money after my (Super don't judge it was a gift) Mac Book Pro got stolen with a bunch of luggage on a trip. And i don't really like hauling around a heavy, hot gaming laptop I don't use for much more then Hearthstone and web browsing. So I'm gonna sell the GE60, for hopefully like 600-700 dollars, and I want to buy a laptop that'll run me hearthstone and web browsing. for a little less then the 600-700 I want to get for the laptop

 

Windows 8 tablets can run Windows games right? So if there's fair priced ones that'll run Hearth well, I'm fine with a tablet of sorts as well. Thanks! I don't know much about laptops/tablets so that's why I ask!

Pretty bad story with your Macbook Pro. 

I think that you should get 700 dollars off of your GE60. After you get the money, save some more and get something like a Dell XPS 12, fast and great Windows 8 experience, and also check out the Lenovo Yoga 13 inch.

The surface pro is an amazing choice. But what is so bad about the laptop your using now? Seems like it can run hearthstone on it.

The issue is - as he stated in his opening post - that he does not like to haul around with a heavy and hot laptop.
