I need a laptop that can play a game like minecraft and run a screen recording software and support a voice recording all at the same time without lagging all to crap. i cant afford the best as they are way above my budget. i would prefer to keep it under $800. I've been using a macbook pro but it just can't keep up. Any suggestions?
Also, what are the components i need to look for. i keep getting very different feedback. some people say low memory, low ram, but high end cpu while others say high ram, followed by high memory, then a fast cpu.

Why not keep your Mac and get a desktop? Anyway, the y410p looks good.

I recommend the Lenovo Y410p. I just purchased it for $470 at the shop below and I recommend it. It was used but basically new; no scratches or anything.

It's the best deal I've found for this gaming laptop. I love it! It arrived fast and there's no lag on high settings. I don't think you will be disappointed.
