Hi guys.

I'm Connor, fifteen, Just done a load of work for my family and they said they'll buy me a new laptop I want under,, or just over £250, anybody know a good laptop for this price? I play indie games like minecraft mostly and never anything more intensive than skyrim. Thanks,

 

Connor.

A 250 pound laptop CANNOT run skyrim normally I can tell you that. I would much rather ask for 200-250 in cash and save it for something more powerful.

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Perfect for MC, TF2, Plants vs zombies, NFS Hot Pursuit, civilization V at mid-low and crap like that but NO SKYRIM

370 is not "just over" 250.

I think you should ask for cash and say you want to save up for a laptop because:

 

1: if you save you'll be able to get a very nice laptop (you don't want to skimp on a laptop, I did and it made me suffer)

2: if you prove to your parents that you can responsibly save your money and reach a goal, that means they'll trust you with more in the long run. It will be one of many things you can do to make your parents proud of you and trust in you when bigger responsibilities come your way.
