Hello folks.

I'm aiming to get my GF a decent laptop this Christmas - so she'd finally get off my poor Lenovo for her LoL needs -. I'd like to get something that's got decent power for gaming - MMOs and the like - and which could be considered at least reliable.

At the moment my aim is this:

Would anyone have a better suggestion in about the same price range - i.e. max. 800$ -?

You can get the latest MacBook Air for 13" for $800.  Can play BF4 MP, 12 hour battery life, and it runs windows fine if that's what you want.

You know the reason it can be turned on (idleing) for like 12hours is because its got very low power usage components right?

It has one of those weak 15w CPUs that are small dual cores.

Only 4gb of ram, and 128 GB SSD.

Intel HD Graphics 6000 =>  integrated igpu on the cpu (tiny little weak thing).

 

The laptop I linked from MSI that was 829$ is going to be like 10-20 times as powerfull for the same price.

The only area this mac book wins is how long its able to idle for (12hours).

 

Also calling BS on your claims of it playing BF4 MP well, on that weak cpu and no dedicated graphics card.

It ll be running a tiny resolution at best to do so, and its probably still laggy as crap, with all the options set to low.
