Laptop for Minecraft?

[SchnitzelCaptainDan]

Hi there,

So I need a laptop that can run Minecraft decently under $500. I know laptops are not the best for Minecraft, but that's currently my only option. All I need is a laptop that can run Minecraft on low settings with optifine, without constantly overheating. I'm currently on a Toshiba satellite, but it's about 3+ years old and overheats every 10 mins when playing Minecraft. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

Oh, and if possible, I would like it to have Windows 7. I'm not a Windows 8 fan. 😛

Here are a few options that should play Minecraft better than what you have now:

The 1st one that Iron mentioned is decent. I wouldnt reccomend a Toshiba.
