Minecraft is an open world indie game that allows players to create environments out of cubes. It is available for PC, OS X, Linux, Xbox 360, Android, iOS and a Java based web version. However, Chrome OS does not by default support Java and hence cannot run the web version of Minecraft.

So long as you do it through Crouton (the optional Linux chroot environment), you can install any desktop application that works in Ubuntu Linux, such as Minecraft, Wine and Steam. ChromeOS, by itself, doesn't have a Minecraft version of its own yet.

The only games or programs you can use have to come from the Chrome Store. You would have to search the Chrome Store to see if it's available.

I would say yes. You don't require a lot of processing power to play Minecraft.

I can't swear it will but its specs appear to exceed minecraft's minimum specs. They do recommend, however, "if you have a laptop with an a built-in (integrated) graphics card, rather than a dedicated card, it is highly suggested that you try the demo before purchase." The X501A has such an integrated card.

I'm not 100% sure but it can play Minecraft, GMod, Surgeon Simulator, TF2, and runs Sony Vegas 12 just fine. In my honest opinion, I think it could run them. In the low graphics setting that is.

It runs Minecraft quite well for my son at full settings. It ran even better with the addition of 4GB of RAM. For me mass Exports in Lightroom of RAW files with parameter changes goes much quicker than with my Lenovo X1 Carbon with i5.

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

Yes you will be able to play minecraft and the sims on this laptop but very slow at low settings, i don't know roblox. I don't recommend to play those games on this laptop because the game sessions of this brands are very large and will decrease the life of the batery. This is an economy laptop.

Yes. But from what I understand, it is a 32-bit (not a 64-bit) OS, so it'll run a bit clunkier in Far Mode on Minecraft. But yes, Minecraft runs just fine in the lower settings. I've been able to play quite a few games on this system, all of them incredibly more graphic than Minecraft. Star Wars: The Old Republic and Star Trek: Online both play fine in the lower settings on this laptop.

It can but it will be slow. To run it properly you will need to upgrade to larger memory.

Absoltely not. This is an android based system that does not have those capabilities. If you are looking for something that does gaming this is the wrong machine. You get what you pay for.

Yes it can handle minecraft and more it's a really reliable and portable laptop

Sorry I don't know because I don't have the minecraft game, and I am not a game player with my smart device.

This model does allow games, but those like sims 3, minecraft, etc. will not play and there is no way to upgrade the hardware unless you buy a new motherboard

same answer. This computer is quite old. If Minecraft is all you're interested in, PSVita has it now.

Yes. You can play minecraft on almost ANY Windows computer XP and beyond. I'd stick to Vista and above though, because there will be no more patches/upgrades to XP, Microsoft support ended April of this year. I recommend the free upgrade to Windows 8.1 to avoid many annoyances of Windows 8 for this computer.

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.
