What type of laptop should I get? - 2

I'm planning on getting a laptop when I go overseas. I will need it for school work. I'm in year 8. I also want it to be able to run games such as (maybe) skyrim, wizard101, minecraft and steam games. Any recommendations?

Minecraft lava. How can I get it?

The only lava source is on the other side of the island and I only have 1 bucket. If I'm to travel to the other side just to get a bucket of lava then by the time I reach home it'll be night and this is when i leave home early in the morning. And I always get killed by 1000 zombies, skeletons or spiders so I always end up loosing.

Can't build a river connecting the lava because then the lava will go halfway then stop. All help is appreciated

Intel(R) G33/G31 Express Chipset Family Upgrade?

Please guys help me! I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate and have that drivers. I want to run Simcity (2013) But It shows me I need to upgrade them. Before I couldn't play even MINECRAFT but when I upgrade the drivers from the Intel website that fixed. I play a game called ROBLOX too and I can't see the textures there. Please help me! And I don't want answers like "Go buy a new one".

How to start off my youtube channel?

I have a capture card filming minecraft tutorials and maybe even quick builds. How would I get people to watch my videos? I'm planning on going to fiver and paying someone to make me a minecraft intro and pay someone to get me 100 subscribers. I'm not willing to do commentary because I just don't have the guts, I hate hearing my own voice. I know that there won't attract viewers.

Can I play Spellbound Caves in later versions of Minecraft?

I decided I wanted to try playing a CTM (Complete the Monument) map in Minecraft for the first time. I was told that Spellbound Caves was a great (and challenging) place to start.

I'm afraid that if I play it in a recent version of the game, however, that it will break the map in some aspect.

Is it okay, or should I play an older version of the game? If so, which version would you recommend?

Do I sound prepared enough for a Zombie Apocalypse?

Everyday I go to the arcade and play House of the Dead II. I'm very good at it and plan to keep playing everyday. I also play a lot of Halo, but I'm not sure if that is helping since it doesn't involve zombies(except for the Flood). I also have watched all the classic zombie films(White Zombie and Night of the Living Dead ect.) and a few new ones(World War Z, Zombieland). I also read Max Brooks' zombie books. I practice the arcade version of House of the Dead daily, and play Halo a lot(and Minecraft and lots of other irrelevant games that could improve my reflexes)… Is there anything else I should be doing? I plan on maybe working out because I'm kinda out of shape… Any ideas?

P.S
Please don't say anything negative… It is a legitimate question, so don't say it will never happen or anything along those long… Serious answers only
