About to buy a new laptop

[Jonathan_116]

Hello everyone,

I need some help in finding a new laptop to play videogames like minecraft and runescape 3 with. My knowledge about computers is low and I am not sure what I should be looking for. I hear some people say I should look for an intel core i7 because it has more clock speed and some say that clock speed is not the same as performance.. I also read on websites that a 4gb video card is better than a 2gb video card. It's all pretty confusing and there so many laptops for sale but I really don't know which one to choose.. Can someone tell me what I actually should be looking for?

Here are some laptops that I am interested in. Hopefully someone can help me out a little. I will probably use this laptop just to play minecraft with mods and shaders and runescape 3.

The first one is a 15.6 inch HP Omen15-ax001nb laptop with intel core i5 - 6300hq, 16gb ram, 256gb ssd, 1TB HDD, dedicated nvidia geforce gtx 960m 4gb video card with windows 10 for the price of €1169,00

The second laptop is a 17.3 inch MSI GP72 6QF-691BE LEOPARD PRO laptop with intel core i7 - 6700hq, 16gb ram, 128gb ssd, 1TB HDD, dedicated nvidia geforce gtx 960m 2gb video card and windows 10 for the price of €1249,00

The third one is almost similar to the second and is a 15.6 inch MSI GP62 6QF-1263NL LEOPARD PRO laptop also with intel core i7 - 6700hq, 16gb ram, 256gb ssd, 1TB HDD, dedicated nvidia geforce gtx 960m 2gb video card and windows 10 for €1249,00

The fourth is a 17.3 inch HP OMEN 17-W006NB laptop with intel core i5 - 6300hq, 16gb ram, 128gb ssd, 1TB HDD, dedicated nvidia geforce gtx 965m 4gb video card, windows 10 for €1299,00

As you can see these are quite a few laptops that I'm interested in and I'm looking forward to your opinions. Here are the links to the laptops if you're interested to take a look at them.

There are a ton of options in your price range, all have benefits in some areas over each-other without an very good combination of everything in one system. Large screen vs smaller, smaller SSD vs faster CPU and/or larger screen, etc...

For your games, the HP Omen 17" with the 965M would be best. It's a bit overkill for Runescape and Minecraft but will allow you to load Minecraft with mods easily and will be good for several years and for other more demanding games.

I don't like 17" laptops myself, but if you don't care about the size, gaming on the larger screen would be more fun than on a 15.6" one.
