So you waited for a day before the birthday to think about buying a laptop? You should have started looking last week when there were a lot of sales and could have ordered something really good online to be shipped to you. You are now limited to what is in stock at the store now.

Here's a 14" HP laptop with a Core i3-4030u and the Intel HD 4400 graphics core which will be fine for playing Minecraft for $530:

The following Lenovo Flex 15 is a better deal for $430. Basically similar specs, but only 6GB of RAM which is easily upgradeable.

Assuming it is in stock the following HP with the A10-5750m APU will provide you with the best performance for $530 after rebate.

Do not buy a laptop with and AMD A8-6410 APU or below because the Radeon R5 graphics core is less powerful than the Intel HD 4400.
