Earlier today, I remembered about someone that had a laptop in 2007 and used it until 2012. I remember asking him ocasionally to borrow me his laptop. It ran at low temps, had good display, good performance in anything I could (and was allowed by him) to throw at it. I remember trying once a game that my Toshiba couldn't handle better than 20-25 FPS at lowest settings, 1024x768 and guess what? On his laptop, the game ran at 60 FPS (or at least I assume it was 60) locked at maximum settings, 1440x900. It was some kind of Lenovo Thinkpad. Today, I went up and searched for the laptop and got some good news. Most models use GMA X3100 or X4500, which from what I saw and read are good enough for what I need. Also, the lowest end model I saw (at a price of $100) had a T7200 inside and 2 GB of RAM. The HDD was only 80 GB, but I can live with that. I mean, Minecraft, NFSMW, U2 and HP alongside Windows 8.1 or Vista and Mozilla Firefox are certanly going to fit in there. Sorry to make the thread longer than necesarry, but I didn't remember about this laptop at that moment, so I panicked, because I didn't know what to do with such low budget. I was also thinking about a Dell Studio 1535, but that seemes like a thermal problematic laptop, reason why I insisted so much on "no thermal problems".
