Desktop or laptop for teen
My son's old laptop finally died and he would like to get something to play games on. He plays games like skyrim, Fallout and Minecraft. Wanting to go the cheap route since he's spending his summer job money, what would be a better option for him -- laptop or desktop? We have a monitor so we would just be getting the tower. I've read the requirements for some of the games but I'm not sure what's best for all of them. It doesn't have to be an amazing system(can't afford that!) but it just needs to work without being frustratingly slow. He was hoping to stay around the $200-$250 mark and refurbished or rebuilt is where we figure our best deal will come from. Is the speed of the processor more important than the graphics card? Is the amount of RAM crucial? I'm really unfamiliar with computers as you can tell, but would appreciate anybody's advice. Thanks so much!
