With Black Friday coming up, I was thinking of getting a laptop. Though I'd like a Macbook Pro, there hasn't been any "great" deals announced. Here are 2 laptops, one is higher priced then the other. I was wondering if I could get advice on which would be better for Minecraft and the money.
$500
$350
Also if anyone knows any other Black Friday deals on laptops good for playing Minecraft, if they could direct me toward one, I'd be very grateful. Thanks!

1. Apple doesn't do black friday.
2. The $500 is better.(More ram, better graphics card, better processor)
3. I work at best buy and if you want any chance of picking up these Black Friday computers you need to go now. There was a line forming at noon today.

You realize that they're both terrible right. Wolley has a much better choice.
If not for being insane. Something with that type of APU for that price, unheard of except now. Well then again again Toshiba had that one laptop with the APU and a discrete GPU in HybridCFX for 500~ish USD.
Sadly though the one Wolley linked is indeed very good, just would say find out what Ram that thing can use, most doubt they using slow speed. Replace and throw in some much faster ram and it should really increase performance.
