So I use my laptop PC for playing games, and minecraft e.t.c. I use my large PC for video editing, 3D design, coding, e.t.c. I got my fidget spinner today, and it fell out of my hands while I was spinning it, and landed right on the part the harddrive is encased in. RIP
So I will be getting a new PC soon. I will be using it for minecraft, streaming videos, games, e.t.c but not anything huge.
Any tips on what kind of laptop I should use? My budget is $2,000-$2500.
Many thanks!

'games', you need to go more in depth, what is the most powerful game your going to be playing? If you want to run something like BF1 or something we need to know.

COD: BO3, COD: AW, Plants VS Zombies Garden Warefare 2, Titanfall 1 and 2, Mass Effect, those kind of things. Also, I got together some more money so my budget is now about $2,500. |

Why do you need to buy a new computer if the old one's hard drive fails?

Why do you need to buy a new computer if the old one's hard drive fails? It doesn't matter, but it is because I was looking to get a new one. It doesn't really matter why. |

Sorry for the attitude  Anyways, I had already replaced the hard drive a couple of times. Other than that, nothing was wrong with it. However, I have been looking for a new PC anyways. |

If you're looking for a laptop, look for a laptop with AT LEAST an i5 7500U. From there, if you want a graphics card, go with a GTX 1060.
If you have no budget, buy a laptop with an i7 7700HQ, GTX 1080, 16GB RAM, and SSD + HDD.
---
You can typically build desktop PCs cheaper than you can buy laptops of the same spec. They usually run cooler and at a higher clock speed, too, depending on your cpu model. For example, I bought a laptop with an i5 4200U clocked at 1.6GHz, and it didn't perform well in cpu intensive situations.
