This should be fun. I'm looking for a good deal to buy my son for his 14th birthday. He will use it for Minecraft mostly, but I could see him graduating to other games. I wouldn't mind getting a flying simulator or driving game to run on it. But for now, it doesn't have to be high end.
Any recommendations on what to look for, and something that I won't have to mess with all of the time. He's playing Minecraft on an old Lenovo Yoga that I bought with a Pentium processor. It can't refresh fast enough for many of the maps he plays and it doesn't have an Ethernet port to help speed up his online play.
Where would you buy?
What would you say you have to have? (Processor? RAM? Video Processor? SSD HD?)
Would like to stay below $800, my wife will probably flip if I spend more.
