This is a basic bare bones server. While yes, it could likely play games like minecraft well, you would need to add components like a hard drive, operating system, and possibly a CD drive to get any use out of it. Unless you know how to build a computer/server its best you stear clear and stick with a complete system.

it plays minecraft very well but more detailed graphic games like crysis, it will slow down

to retort about windows 8 "stinks"... the laptop should run minecraft, granted not at "max settings" but windows 8 does not hinder the functionality of gaming... windows 8 actually helps things run smoother by being less of a system resource hog on lower spec'd machines. if you hate metro ui then install one of the many start menu's.

I don't play Minecraft. But I would assume you could. Check if the game has minimum spec requirements and check to see if this laptop meets them or exceeds them.I will, however, note that this computer can slow down a bit after heavy use. So you may be able to run Minecraft smoothly at first, but not for a long period of time.

I am not familiar with Minecraft, but I assume it is a game foe PC. If you run the game in any other high end PC, then this computer should not have any problem. It also comes with a genuine Lenovo AC power cord.

It will run pretty well. There's a video on youtube with someone running it with only 1GB of RAM and it's fine.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AykH-zUcPJw

Ignore the previous two comments. Minecraft is not a high requirement game. It runs fine on a 2007 imac, this will handle it just fine.Recommended Requirements:CPU: Intel Core i3 or AMD Athlon II (K10) 2.8 GHzRAM: 4GBGPU: GeForce 2xx Series or AMD Radeon HD 5xxx Series (Excluding Integrated Chipsets) with OpenGL 3.3HDD: 1GBLatest release of Java 7 from java.com

Minecraft would probably run smoothly. DayZ would have to probably have to be in the lowest settings.

it runs tf2 magnificently, runs minecraft just as well, and I have been playing through batman arkham asylum with majority of settings at max and it has had only a couple of slowdowns in certain areas of the game (and this is without downgrading to windows 7!)

Yes I play leauge of legends and run other stuff at the same time with no lag. Should be able to handle mine craft and play music without lag

Yes but it's not the best with minecraft it's more important to get a strong Cpu. 3.5 ghz and 4 cores c:

Based on it's specs, it should be able to run Minecraft. Functional mods shouldn't present a problem, but don't expect to be able to use the mods that add shaders and make Minecraft look incredible. Even my laptop with a dedicated graphics card has trouble with those.

I have minecraft and it runs great not for big programs or big game but overall is a good laptop

In my experience with this computer, I will say no. It could not run Dragon Age on medium or even low settings, and Minecraft wouldn't even run. I know there is a difference between Java Run games and games that run from your graphics card, however in both cases, the processor in this computer was too weak to run either. If you can get one these with an upgraded processor for a cheap price you may be able to with more success. It's been two years since I wrote this review and the technology has grown exponentially. Just double check any graphics and processor specs before ordering, and if you do choose to order this computer, double check the specs when it arrives. I was promised a 3.2 GHz processor and was sent a computer with 1.9 GHz.

It also depends on what motherboard/chipset you end up using but the processor itself is more than capable of handling minecraft

It will play lowend games like mine craft , if you invest in a solid state hard drive it will play games way better

The laptop should be fine on School work and Minecraft but I'm unfamiliar with the requirements of Rust. This is a business grade laptop so they usually do not have a really powerful gaming video card in it.
