I haven't used the laptop myself, but son uses it quite frequently - and that is all he uses it for - Mincreaft! Works without any issues.

My daughter has this and it does NOT play Minecraft... and we tried everything to speed it up. Very slow computer!!

Yes I do think you can because this laptop does have the minimum processing power required to play Minecraft but I must warn you that this laptop's processor is right at the minimum required so you may run into some problems playing Minecraft.

This is impossible to answer. Which game??? What settings? This has a 1.3ghz processor x2 so it is not a state of the art laptop. It is meant to be a mobile gaming PC, not a desktop replacement. It will lag in most of the higher end games. Also, is the lag from an online game or from graphics?

Yes, my grand-son plays Minecraft on my computer nearly every day. It should work fine for you. I have had no problems with it.

I know this question is old but still relevant for others. I run Minecraft on the default graphics settings without any performance issues or overheating.

No. The processor is not fast enough to guarantee no lag in a game like Minecraft.

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.

It runs WoW and other mmos all on high settings with no lag at all. I seriously love this computer. Just make sure to get a better power supply the one that comes with it is kind of weak. Oh and more fans.

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

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

It'll run Minecraft at MAXIMUM settings without lag. I'm not sure about other games, but I use X-Plane 10, a flight sim, and I get pretty good FPS when using it.

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.

My guy has played Starcraft on it and says it runs slower/the graphics were better on his old gaming computer, but he added a graphics card and it runs smoothly now. But no, I would not recommend this computer for gaming as is.

No. As I and others have said in previous comments/reviews, this is NOT a gaming laptop. Minecraft BASIC system requirements specify a separate video chipset (no integrated chipsets) and a faster processor than this computer has. This computer is perfect for normal, non-gaming, non-processor/graphics-intensive computing (office apps, browsing, email, basic media manipulation, streaming sound and video content, etc.), but it is NOT a gaming computer. If good performance in Minecraft is essential for you, up your game and spend the bucks necessary to get a computer with a faster processor, a decent, standalone (non-integrated) video chipset/controller and, although Minecraft specs say 4GB is OK (as long as processor is fast enough and video chipset has its own memory, etc.), I'd AT LEAST double that.
