my friend wants a laptop that he can play minecraft and record without lag, what do you suggest?

[Guest Gazzer96]

any of these would do for minecraft, but for recording you may need an i5 at least: http://www.xoticpc.com/custom-gaming-laptops-notebooks-gaming-laptops-ct-118_96_98.html

Here you go: 

Laptop: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152429

SSD: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Series-120GB-internal-MZ-7TD120BW/dp/B009NHAF06/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1373089887&sr=8-1&keywords=840+120gb

HDD Caddy: http://www.amazon.com/SATA-caddy-12-7mm-Universal-DVD-ROM/dp/B0056EW4A4/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1373089872&sr=1-1&keywords=hdd+caddy

 

This is what you do:

1. Replace your hdd in the laptop with the Samsung 840.

2. Replace your dvd drive with the HDD caddy with the original HDD in it.

There you go--speed and capacity.

 

Recording footage usually has to do with having a drive that's not already being used that much. By having both a ssd and an hdd, you can load applications and games off of the ssd while recording off of the hdd. You also get a very snappy computer as well.

Yes, opening up your laptop will void your warranty unless you get some certified tech person to do it for you.
