What laptop/netbook is everybody using to play Minecraft? I'm looking for a lightweight/compact mobile option for Minecraft on the go lol. I've looked at the wiki but would like to get some more feedback on what [H] people are using.

As of right now I'm looking at an HP Probook 4525s (Athlon II P340, 2GB DDR3, ATI HD4250 integrated), Samsung Q430 (i5-480M, 4GB DDR3, nVidia 310M), and HP dm1z (AMD E-450, 4GB DDR3, ATI 6320 discrete). Are there any other compact (12"-15") laptops I should be looking at in the ~$500 range that can play Minecraft comfortably?

Edit: I also found the MSI X370 with the same specs as the dm1z but with a 13.4" screen...
2nd edit: To clarify, this will be an all around laptop (email/youtube/etc.) The only video games I play on the go is Minecraft and DotA.

In which case, the Samsung will provide the most CPU and GPU power.

I dunno about battery life or any other attributes of the Sammy, however.
 
Get the DM1Z. I do support for HP and never get calls on them not even for hard drive issues. If I didn't need a desktop so badly I'm be springing for one.

It does seem to have the best specs but on further reading, most people seem to run the battery down in ~2hrs on normal surfing/lite video...

Thanks for the info. Right now that's my top choice due to the best price ($450 w/ laptop bag) and longest battery life but I'm not sure how well it'll run Minecraft...
