Hi SRL, the bot has been great for me but my computer broke yesterday when i acidentally spilt coffee onto the fans everything got fried. Im in need of a temp laptop for under 300 Australian money. Ive never been good with computers so can you guys choose me one that can bot 24/7?

If you just want to run one simba and one smart you can probably get by with something fairly inexpensive. Too cheap though and you'll get lag which can interrupt scripts from running 24/7. I'd check newegg.com and then select your price range. Gl with getting a good one :)

Would intel atom and 1gb ram be good enough?

A computer just for botting? That's some serious dedication…

Hard to say, my mom's net book has similar specs and generally works fine for simba, but there is noticeable lag occasionally that can cause problems. Not to mention it is incredibly annoying to have lag, so I'd go for something more expensive but use it as your main pc and not a temp one, even if it means waiting.

Imo look into a VPS as a 24/7 laptop wont last long, especially a cheap one, vps will be cheaper

Ok thank you guys. What VPS do you reccomend then. But for the laptop I also want to watch the bot frequently cause it makes me feel more secure. :)

Don't get a laptop for starters. Overheats. Hard to service.
This is around your price region, I'm not sure if it's all compatible(Should be).

Note: That is very basic and you could most likely get it better priced.

I would go for a desktop, add some RAM in and you are on your way ebay is your best friend there

Since desktop is cheaper than laptop, I would suggest the same thing too.

I would personnally recommend audefy.
the red package should be all you need.

Maybe if you want to run one bot on it with extreme lag and do nothing else on the computer at the same time :redface: . I would suggest at least a mobile amd a4 apu chip as they are pretty cheap. I had coffee spilled on my lappy the other day but luckily it didn't fry. It was a gaming laptop too so I panicked for awhile.
