Good for minecraft gaming?

This computer suffers from initial quality problems that make it a bad buy for any purpose. Mine had a broken optical drive (tray stuck), a stuck pixel (light blue) on the screen, and defective parts, including the optical tray, the motherboard, and the cooling fan, that had to be replaced under warranty. Lenovo/IBM refused to fix the stuck pixel. In addition to all these physical problems, the operating system had to be reinstalled and tweaked several times to get the machine to run normally once the physical defects were resolved as far as they could be. That said, given the extreme overheating (core temps in excess of 110 degrees Centigrade) to which this machine is subject, only the lowest power settings are acceptable. I can use the repaired machine for normal office and Internet work, and intend to do so until it eventually dies of overheating. I can't imagine using it for any form of gaming.

Absolutely. It is way past the "recommended" system requirements on Mojang site: https://help.mojang.com/customer/portal/articles/325948-minecraft-system-requirementsIf you look at the wiki page linked there, you'll see the GT 740M running it 1366×768 at 140fps, this laptop is slower by not more than 25% slower, so you should be in 60-80fps range easily, making it nice and smooth.

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.

I have this laptop and while it plays it ok, minecraft is very cpu intensive.expect 60-70 fps with optifine

You should be able to get 60fps at maxed out settings on Minecraft. Someone on a laptop with similar specs was getting 135fps according to Minecraft wiki.

I have not played minecraft, however, all games I have played have run very smoothly. The system is definitely set up for games. Other games that were laggy on my previous system run great now.

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 daughter uses it for World of Warcraft and Terraria which both work fine, I will have her check out Skyrim later today and give you a better reply

Yes this laptop can handle Minecraft. On average I get about 120 to 160 fps.

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 will run just fine. It does not require super powerful computer though

Laura, I don't know if your question has been answered yet. But, with some settings tweaking, minecraft runs pretty well on this computer.

Incredibly. Minecraft isn't a game that places a high toll on your GPU, which is this desktop's only weak point. Unless you download an ultra-realistic HD pack, it'll run fine on even Far render distance.

It runs fine on league of legends on high, just need to make sure that the fan isnt covered. I get around 50 to 150 fps depending how much action is going on. I'm not sure about minecraft.

Yes. I bought it for my son; he plays Minecraft and Plants vs Zombies on it often.
