I've been wanting a good budget laptop (or netbook it doesn't matter) for basic stuff. I'm thinking of around 250-300$ budget, and all I really want it for is to just surf the Web, and type papers. I also am addicted to Minecraft and Terrarria, and I'd like about 30-35 frames per second. Is there any laptop/netbook that can do that? Also it must be Windows 7/8.
Good cheap laptop for simple stuff?
If you want the small laptops/tablets then check:
1- Azus T100 taplet/laptop.(google it for spec.)
2-Lenovo Flex 10 which has 2 version.A-windows… B-Andriod.
here is a link for A: http://shop.lenovo.com/...tech_specs.
But I recommend you to use Azus T100 because it's the chipset Quad-core and it's performance is really good.
PS: Check out the review videos on youtube.
You should be able to play smooth minecraft and terrarria if you get $300-$350 laptop.
Under $300

Minecraft probably won't play well on a tablet.
HP is releasing/has released a couple of $200 laptops. I have no idea how well they would play your games. Search for your games and "recommended hardware" to find out primarily the functional; minimum GPU you need. At the newegg.com website, down the left side, you can filter based upon your criteria to find what will work for you.
Mainstream Windows laptop mfg ratings:
Lenovo is the number one, followed by Asus, HP, Dell, and Samsung.
At the bottom of the pile are, from the bottom up, Sony, Acer/Gateway, and Toshiba.
Purchasing a laptop is a highly personal decision. You need to decide what type of keyboard you want: do you want a full sized keyboard or are you okay with something smaller? Do you like or despise the chicklet keyboards like apple uses? Do you want a backlit keyboard? Do you want a numeric keypad? Do you want a touchpad and/or point stick? Do you want 2 mouse buttons or 3? Do you want them above or below the touchpad? How large a screen: 13"? 14"? 15.6"? 17"? If you are highly mobile, then smaller is lighter. If you don't move around much then bigger means heavier but a much more visible screen. These are all things to ponder which have a significant impact on how happy you are with your laptop experience.
