Fast Gaming Laptop for Minecraft!!! 0 lag, budget about $900

[floflorocks]

I want a fast gaming laptop! Needs good graphics, RAM, Video Card and decent battery life.
I have heard that "there's no good gaming laptops" and to "build a Desktop," but quite frankly I don't believe that and there's absolutely 0% chance of me getting a desktop. I could care less about how heavy or bulky it is, I just need to be able to stuff it in a bag and carry it down the block without pulling something. 😛 (I do plan on building a Desktop in the future however currently I need something portable.)

I did a lot of research but I just want some suggestions specifically on my situation. I want an i7 if possible but I don’t want to spend a lot. It’s should be fast! At minimum I want to play Minecraft on full graphics while having several tabs open in Chrome with 0 lag. In addition, I run a Minecraft server and possibly in the future a Tekkit server, so I might need to have, at the most, Tekkit, a Tekkit server and a YouTube Tutorial open at the same time if I need to do some testing. it can’t be any more than $1,000 and should probably not be any more than $600-700.
Thanks for your help in advance!

never heard of building your own laptop, probably gonna have to bite the bullet and pay for a quality one if you want it to do what you desire

Yep there are some barebones laptops that you add parts to but usually its just ram, hard drive, and operating system. Those barebones are going to be more than a $1000 anyway.

Do you have any suggestions on good laptops?

If you want to customize your laptop I would recommend these http://www.sagernotebook.com/

Brother of a friend got one and he is very happy with the build quality and heat management.

Here's the list i'm looking at: http://www.sagernotebook.com/index.php?page=category_browse&selected_cat=10
Do I need a i7, or is an i5 suitable for my needs? I realy don't want to have to deal with any lag problems as i am in the works of starting a Lets Play series and i don't want viewers to have to deal with it.

what about the NP6175?

Okay 🙁 I updated the thread

I would go for the i7. Its a great multitasking processor and worth the extra cost.

You can use this website to see how different graphics cards will perform. For minecraft the gt 650 will run good, but I would want something more for other games. probably a gt 660 and above.

You can get a Lenovo Y500 for under $900.

This is a really good and affordable gaming laptop. This would be my choice if i needed one.

 

[affroman112]

Yep Y500 is also a solid choice.

You could still build a BEAST high end gaming PC with that money wich would run battlefield 3 on ultra and never go under 90 fps

I don't play Minecraft, but what about the MSI GP60 variant? $799-$995 where I live.
