Hi Everyone,
I am hoping to buy a new gaming laptop as my older one is getting a little bit tired. I mostly play Minecraft but occasionally dip in and out of Terraria and Starbound. I am looking into a laptop which would have no problems with playing Minecraft on highest setting. I originally had a budget of £800 but was willing to drop a little bit extra on an SSD and a Quad Core Processor.
My main concern is if or not I should switch to an Intel SSD and upgrade to the Kingston Hyper RAM? I like the size of the 13.3 inch model as I have a 13" MacBook Air and think the size is ideal for portability. Also if possible could you share any experience with the Optimus Series Chassis, as I have read some mixed reviews about it?
