    Hey guys... Now, I've been really confused with either getting a new desktop, or laptop. Now, my budget is around $900 AUD max. I don't need portability, although I like to move around the house and play. I do have a school laptop that runs Mine craft and has a client, so I could still go hang out at a friends house and we can play Mine craft if I use my school laptop. If you're Australian, or a different nationality and wouldn't mind helping me, I'd suggest looking through,

    https://www.jbhifi.com.au/
    Or http://www.harveynorman.com.au/computers-tablets/
    I'm mainly looking for 8GB of ram, 1TB of hard drive space, a decent processor and a good graphic card. If anyone can help me out looking through those links and posting the link to one the laptops/desktops you find would be great and much appreciated :)

    PS: Sorry for my grammar, it's 10:30pm and I feel tired after today xD

    Laptop
    A) there portable
    B) You get better value Eg a I5 processor laptop is the same price as a pentium processor (which cant even handle hunger games)
    C) Don't have to plug it in

    hope you found this helpful <3

    Tip: trade one in you'll get around 100$ back

    Get a laptop, if you ever need to move it's a lot harder and not safe to move with a PC. Most likely the PC would break so laptop is a good choice.

    Also, is this for gaming only?

    I moved a desktop 3k miles on a bus and plane and didn't break.

    That's not "REALLY" good. That's decent.

    This one is a beast!

    It's really good considering the price and a GTX 960M will give you a lot of frames. For only 800$? I'd say that's really good.

    And you want something good? You're funny.

    Only 256 GB Disk Space, regardless of it being SSD, that's not a lot.

    It's not good in general, but for the price, yes it is.

    Get a life... oh wait that's just something else you need. (JK, I hope not)

    Desktops are more expensive, but they're usually faster.
