Almost $300 over OP's budget. If you're not going to help, don't even try. OP clearly has a budget of around $250.

OP-In all honesty, that Dell Inspiron is probably going to be your best bet for a laptop under $300.

I ask him in the ShoutBox his budget and he said $500 but he doesn't really have a budget.

Ah, I see, my apologies then. I don't understand why his OT had a $250 laptop then if he has a budget of $500. Would be useful if we knew his actual budget and requirements tbh.

^I second this. Chromebooks are very good for their price point, not sure how well they would be for Minecraft since they have Celeron processors at 1.4ghz though. I am buying one for college, but that is only because I use Google for everything and just need something to take notes on.

Chromebooks run chromeos, chromeos does not support any applications besides from ones in the chrome store (or whatever it's called) hence it is near impossible to play minecraft on a chromebook.
