This is discussion but also to help me out too ;D but what type of laptop do you have? I would like a personal laptop for myself that is suitable for Feralheart. The one I have now is a Lenovo and whenever I tried to make my own map, I'd permanently get that Feralheart.exe has stopped working stuff until I deleted and reinstalled the game sooooo..I'm looking for one that won't do that, plus my mom is a laptop hog. Any suggestions? :D

I have a windows 8, which currently has a virus.

I have an Asus laptop computer on Windows 8. I got it for Christmas a couple years ago when I broke my other one. The Best Buy people told me that the Asus was a highly sought-after gaming computer, but you know, you can't always trust people who try to sell you something. Nonetheless, I liked the laptop for other reasons, and it's been good to me so far.

I personally have a Windows 8.1 Gateway laptop. About one terabyte of disk space and 6 GB RAM. Although the video and graphics card are a joke for such a big computer like the one I have. >:c My parents buy the cheapest object they can find, ignoring the quality. They lied to me about the value of this laptop too. lol
At least mine right now is better than my old one. Whatever you do, don't buy the tiny Acer brand laptops. I had to live with one for a couple of years and it wasn't the best... It couldn't even run FH without lagging a storm.

Jenga's right- an Acer would definitely be one you'd want to avoid.

Even though people can have a personal taste for different brands(such as HP, Acer, Asus, Lenovo etc), if you're serious about what you're getting you should not be thinking of the name as much as you think about what you actually get inside. I do realize that not everyone is all tech savvy and look into the exact specifications and know exactly what it means, but it can honestly make all the difference and save you some too if you do know.
My best suggestion if possible, is to have someone that you can talk to or bring to whatever store you'll buy your laptop at, or at the very least talk to them before anything is bought so they can give their voice about the laptops you've been looking at.
I am by no means trying to step on someone's toes here, but plainly telling someone to get a certain brand, is like telling someone to get a house with a roof. There's cheap butt computers from most brands that will be slow for todays standard, and they all tend to have faster machines as well. You usually get what you pay for one way or another, but sometimes you can save some if you know what to look at.

Good point, Red. I'd definitely suggest speaking to someone who knows something about computers so you've got some idea of what you're looking at.

I have a Acer laptop that has the same specs as a NES. /s
If you're looking into a desktop as well, I recommend you to build one. Much cheaper than a laptop/prebuilt desktop with superior specs.

Maaaaaaaac.

I currently have a fairly powerful Packard Bell laptop with a couple of juiced up parts put on. It has a quad-core AMD processor as well as an AMD graphics card and 16gb of RAM.
Oh yeah and windows 7 because 8 is just the worst. (booo windows 8 boooo)

I currently don't own a laptop, but I plan on using some of my Graduation money to buy one.
As of right now, my eye's on a Lenovo Z50.

I have a all in one desktop. My old laptop finally took a dump so this was my early birthday gift. My computer is a Dell computer with Windows 8.1

Alright, I thank everyone for the advice and help. ;D

MY laptop is a Chromebook, which can't even run .exe files. I just use it to surf the internet and watch furry con vids all day.
The laptop that I play FH on is my mom's Mac, which is 6 years old, and really needs to be cleaned, but I prefer to play FH on my dad's desktop when I'm at his house, sooo. My sister's laptop runs FH well, and it's an HP running Windows 8.

I have no laptop, but if you're looking at an apple (that's my opinion), then look somewhere else. I don't say they're bad - they're pretty good - but it is too expensive. You will buy mainly the brand and not the laptop. (Sorry for all Apple-Fans; I think we all now that it's expensive. And the "modern look" isn't that important)

I have an Asus Windows 8 laptop, which I accidentally downloaded Windows 8.1 preview and some clunky games which made this slow.
I'm planning to get a desktop soon because it is much faster.

I got say, that is so true. And Apples are really only good for business related things, not gaming. I'm not sure how the newer Macbooks are like, but my mom's is, eh. You really are buying the brand, they're not that great of laptops anyway. I'm not really an apple person, but my mom really is.

Agreed. They're just... too expensive for the specs. It's cheaper to buy a Windows laptop, even cheaper if you build your own, honestly...

Yeah, my dad built is computer 6-7 years ago, and it still runs pretty fast! It's cheaper, and if you do it right, it can last a very long time (if you treat it right too XD)

I'm actually planning to build a PC soon, well it will be probably next year, and you can always upgrade yourself, not buy a PC from scratch :p
They say building a PC is like building expensive Legos, I wonder if it's that easy?

I have an Asus Notebook that I got for Christmas. :)

I have an Acer Aspire, Windows 8 - touch pad screen. I got it for Christmas. It's a wonderful computer, but the touch screen part may be a little more money than you're looking into. Besides, if your mom is a laptop hog, consider putting a password on the PC so she doesn't use it? I have 6 laptops in my closet that are all mine... XD And I have the 7th one that I'm using now ((the Acer)). Anyway, I don't know what it's like not having things to yourself. In my family, members don't usually share their belongings. But not sure... However, I do recommend getting a Windows 7/8 laptop for sure - Macs aren't my strongest suit. As for the map crashing and the FH.exe stop working: Mine does that all the time. And my computer is perfectly fine. Just be sure when you reinstall FH that you make a copy of your files such as your maps you created and place them on your desktop so you don't lose them. Another way to solve this is maybe making a thread on the help boards and see if any staff could help resolve your issue. c: Hope everything works out well! BTW: DO NOT get a Chromebook!! You can't play ANY games on a Chromebook - my friend has one and she cannot download literally a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g! Those PC's are strictly for work and documents. NOT a gaming computer!

To update, I recently got a Lenovo Edge15 for graduation, and it works quite well for games (at least the games I play). Though I'm not sure how it'd fare with work, I personally like it.
