Well, my laptop is biting the dust (i think anyway). It won't charge and it's not the powercord and when i plug the powercord into my laptop it melts something and I can smell burning so I don't think it's safe so I'm looking for a new one.

Don't really have a budget as I'm looking at a Macbook Pro but i'm not certain. Yeah so I don't really have a budget but nothing to extreme.

I just want it to have a big HDD and a good enough CPU to be able to play games.

Thanks

Then why are you looking at a Mac?

www.dell.co.uk

Or recently I purchased a Lenovo ThinkPad, very pleased with it, very light, very powerful and very sturdy.

Macs are terrible for gaming.

Think anything thats dell would be great.

HP, Lenovo and Dell are pretty solid choices.

HP Envy 14 or Dell XPS 15z are both nice machines (I have the former).

HP is NO good, it's powerful but cheap and bad quality. Macs are crap for gaming, you can partition the hard drive and install windows on them and have a "Dual OS" where you either boot Mac or Windows but it will slow it down. My suggestion would be either Dell or Lenovo which are really the 2 best brands out there.

No it won't.
Actually it will, my classmate did it and i watched him play minecraft and other games and they lagged a bit more than normally, while on the mac boot, minecraft at least ran fine with the same settings and nothing else open.

I can tell you now, that will not slow it down.

I agree with Recursion it does not slow down the computer in anyway.
