I am looking to buy this for my son, can he get games like Minecraft on it? I am worried about the memory space and speed of it.

I am not sure about the game you are talking about but it wont play a youtube.

No, you cant download anything to it! Its basically only good for going online and its super slow. Kinda of pointless for anything else. Buy something better! My kids use it just for Facebook

I am not sure if you could fit minecraft onto this laptop. It only has 4 gb on it and it is not very good for playing games on it.

Hi We downloaded plants vs zombies and that required 5 gb plus we have downloaded mindcraft on top of that. It's working great for us. I hope this helps �

I've never run any games on my 2540p, which has an i5-560M, 8GB DRAM, and Intel graphics. However, if I had to guess, I'd say it might run Minecraft but not be a good choice to run it due to the lack of a sophisticated GPU.

Minecraft is more memory hungry than processor hungry. Given that information, the processor should be more than capable of hosting that sort of minecraft server. Cheers.

Yes, it can run Minecraft without issues. I would recommend a cooling pad under it (Zalman ZM-NC2000 is what I use) because Minecraft will keep it warm.

It handles minecraft and photoshop alright, I have both on my 256 GB SP1, but I'd recommend increasing the amount of ram you can use for minecraft to get better performance out of it. It's an integrated gpu and the ram usage is locked down so I wouldn't expect a huge amount of graphics horsepower.

probably great... I have this and 4gb ram, and it hasn't had any problems doing anything... I haven't set up an actual server on it, but it plays minecraft on full everything on win7 great. I have one of the cheapest radeon graphics cards with it, and I am completely blown away. This is way more power than I expected it to have. a definite buy...

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

Can't really answer that since I don't play Minecraft. I play Duke Nukem, Civ V and some others. I don't think you'll have any problems running Minecraft.

Mine runs minecraft on maximum settings pretty alright. For a game like that for sure get a graphics card upgrade and maybe another stick of RAM.

i have minecraft for this and it works great. this laptop can even handle complex online games such as half life and halo and left 4 dead. i was very suprised. this is a great gaming laptop for not huge but popular games

you can but this will not run minecraft well. if you need help finding a better laptop, let me know. tomorrow they should have some good sales and you should be able to get a pretty good laptop at decent prices.

Im not for sure bout minecraft cause i dont play it but i dont see why it wouldnt, if anything u might need to do like i did and buy an 2gb ram stick which doesnt cost much. Some bigger games like that require more ram space to play

Son and daughter plays world of warcraft and minecraft on them and have no problems with it. Son played modern warfare 3 and had no problems. Oldest change her video card because she's a geek and wanted a better card...:) you should have no problems and later on if you want to change the video card its easy to do.

This laptop has right around the minimum required processing power needed for Mine Craft. I would say you can probably use it for games in such however a bit more processing speed may be needed.

My son doesn't play this game. He plays Halo, GTA. Minecraft that type of games. What this hard drive does is it gives extra 250 GB to store and play video games and other stuff the xbox is used for. Because originally the Xbox360 he was given had only 4GB which is very little. We were about to buy a new Xbox360 250GB until I found out thru research that this hard drive will solve the problem - lack of storage. Hope this helps.

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