please give me a list, i need a new laptop, one that will run good, also i dont have a job, im in middle school. so nothing too expensive. please help. its lagging on my Pc so much. and i dont know if it will last with create a world and WA. :) please help.

HP Pavillion series, I have one and it runs TS1, 2 and 3 great, although I had to upgrade to 4GB RAM and get a few ex. harddrives.

Then that's probably not the best laptop for his needs. He wants something cheap that he doesn't have to upgrade and put even more money into just to play a game.

Although good luck finding one that will without upgrades that actually meets your budget

Well, that's the thing, I don't just use to play a game, I do my school work on it, make mods, etc.

Well computers used for gameplay, or high quality 3D rendering like in Design or Architecture require some of the most beefed up systems in computer standards. That's why it's hard to find just a cheapo computer or laptop that will play games in high quality without lag, normally gaming computers arent that cheap. Just depends on the person's budget.

I have a Dell XPS that runs The Sims 3 great but it was over $1200. If you don't NEED a laptop, I recommend getting a desktop because you can get one with great specs for a lot less than a laptop. Before I decided on my current laptop, I would go on the dell.com website and customize computers to TS3 specs just to get an idea of the price so you could do that to get an idea.
