im just looking for something i can do homework browse the web and play minecraft on without it being laggy and suckish. nothing special.

could you help me? when it comes to laptops, I have no idea what to look for.

thanks!
 
dislike on the Acer suggestion. They do not last at all. This is from personal experience.

The toshiba is a way better quality.
 
Your best option under $500 is anything with an AMD A4 processor. All of these are going to have a powerful integrated graphics accelerator compared to what Intel has to offer.
 
but it is well known that the llano apu graphics are leagues above that of the intel hd graphics, so although the a4 cpu will be fairly slower, it should do better in any gaming scenario.
 
Yes but the computer I listed has a Nvidia gpu and with the better cpu it should preform better.
 
nvmd, g3d of 520m v 6480g, 520m wins be like 19 i think, but gaming is another thing mind you.

I don't usually do this, but I agree with johnny on this. The AMD apu's are going to give you better gaming performance. the 520 is not a gaming card. It's barely better than integrated graphics. The only real advantage is more vram.

wow, thanks. but i did edit that post, going by g3d, the 6840g of the a4 in that lappy looses by 19 points i think, but mind you that gaming and synthetics are completely different.
 
The A4 will still outperform. Again, the 520 isn't designed for rendering 3d graphics so much as it is to run better at higher resolutions, making the HDMI more useful.
