Hi my SG fam! Question for ya

[Meggie]

First off, hi everyone! Secondly, I have a computer question. My kid plays Roblox and Minecraft. Right now she just plays them on an iPad but I want to get her a laptop for her Birthday. I don’t want to spend a bunch. Since neither game is really gamer type quality that requires something big and fancy (and $$). Can I get away with just getting like a $200 windows HP with 4GB RAM? They have Chromebooks for about that much but I feel like chromebooks are not for people playing games, even minor ones like these. What should I get?

@meggie should be enough to run those I think. Chromebook should work(at least spec-wise) but I don't know if either game is compatible with ChromeOS(I mean, it should be, but don't quote me on that).

Hi Meg!

I would get an HP or Lenovo Windows laptop. For the CPU, I would stay away from Celerons and get either Intel i3 or AMD Ryzen 3 processor. You can get 8GB RAM 256GB SSD for ~$250 at Best Buy.
