Long story short, my young nephew (8 years old) who is a huge Minecraft player wants a laptop for Christmas. I was going to buy him an Xbox or PS4 but he's dead set on a laptop.

I'm okay with this because he'll be able to use it for a few other things as well.

Anyway, I saw the Toshiba C55-A5308 bundle on Best Buy for $299 and I'm just trying to make sure I don't end up with a laptop that underperforms with this particular game. Any other suggestions are welcome as well, I just don't want to get past the $300 range if possible.

Just google the system requirements. I was going to post them for you, but every website with the info is blocked by my works filter. It should take much though since the graphics are garbage... although the world is huge.

ETA:
quote:

CPU: Intel Pentium D or AMD Athlon 64 (K8) 2.6 GHz
CPU Speed: Info
RAM: 4 GB
OS: Windows XP or better
Video Card: GeForce 66xx or ATI Radeon 9xxx and Up with OpenGL 2 Support (Excluding Integrated Chipsets)
Sound Card: Yes
Free Disk Space: 150 MB


Recommended specs... not sure if old though.
