Hi,

This is a hard question to answer because there are many PC OEM's, such as HP, Dell, Lenovo ect. You also did not specify what size you are looking for. I'm assuming you would not want a Mac because of your price range constraints. To answer your question you would want a computer with at least an Intel i3 CPU, 4GB of RAM, and a 500GB HDD, just simple specs. I would look at the Asus X501A-SI30403X (it has an Intel 3rd generation i3 with 4GB of RAM and a 500GB HDD, 15in screen, this laptop is also running Windows 8 "love it or hate it"). This laptop cost $350 and can be found at this link:

Another one that you might be interested in would be the Asus Q200E-BSI3T08 (it has an 11.6in touch screen, i3 CPU (3rd generation), 4GB or RAM and a 500GB HDD, also running Win 8), i would personally go with this one although it is more expensive coming in at $399.99. can be found at:

You would be hard pressed to find better laptops in this price range hope this helps!

Answer 2

If you want to run a server, you are better renting a server.

It costs 18 dollars a month for up to 36 players

I use Gizmoservers for my server IP: 198.15.116.98:26148



The reason I say that is because for a minecraft server, the computer

needs to be on 24/7 and connected to internet 24/7



A personal laptop is a bad idea for a minecraft server



A new windows 7 or windows 8 laptop with minimum specs will cost $400



you can get a used/refurbished gaming laptop for around $600 on amazon / ebay









Still, are you going to leave your laptop on all night and day?

What if your friends want to get on at 6 am?







P.S

on that laptop that guy says for $350- look at the reviews

and the $400 one, like I said its basic

Basic CPU,graphics, and ram

doesnt even have dedicated graphics card

But it can still run minecraft on medium

will get server lag if you are connected by wifi though
