Hi my son wants a laptop that will adequately run Minecraft. Will this computer do this adequately?

This Dell was not recommended for higher end games so i would be concerned and not recommend it.

I wouldn't count on it. This is a bare minimum computer. Sorry that I bought 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.

According to Mojang, this laptop DOES meet the "minimum system requirements" but not the "recommended system requirements".https://help.mojang.com/customer/portal/articles/325948-minecraft-system-requirements

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 GHz RAM: 4GB GPU: GeForce 2xx Series or AMD Radeon HD 5xxx Series (Excluding Integrated Chipsets) with OpenGL 3.3 HDD: 1GB Latest release of Java 7 from java.com

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

I love this computer. I play online games such as world of warcraft and diablo on the highest setting with absolutely no lag. Im sure your son will love it!

I would say no. The Tablet does what I need it to (play videos on a merchandise table and make payments with credit card reader) but other than that, apps run slow, if more than two apps run at a time then the tablet lags and freezes. Also only gives you 2gb of available storage space for apps which fills up very quick. I very much doubt it could run minecraft without blowing up lol.

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

It can handle Minecraft. But its not the best out there. And Day Z I'm not sure.

Yeah should be able to run easy, mines an i7 3770 and only 8gb ram and it runs perfectly.

This computer could run just about everything that's currently on the market. I wouldn't go trying any Cryengine games though. Your CPU is likely to melt. Also, the GPU inside of it is not very good at all so, Minecraft is a yes. Crysis 3 on low 1080 p. No.

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.

My son plays minecraft he gets about 100 fps. Every game I have gotten him works. However the video card needs to be upgraded for performance and to do that I need a better power supply. Looking at 200 for video card and 80 for power supply. All in all this so far has been a good system for the money.

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

did some quick research looks like this would breeze through Minecraft... Minecraft Minimum Requirements: CPU: Intel Pentium D or AMD Athlon 64 (K8) 2.6 GHz. RAM: 2GB. GPU (Integrated): Intel HD Graphics or AMD (formerly ATI) Radeon HD Graphics with OpenGL 2.1. GPU (Discrete): Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT or AMD Radeon HD 2400 with OpenGL 3.1. HDD: At least 200MB for Game Core and Other Files. Java 6 Release 45. ASUS X552EA-DH41 specs CPU: AMD A4-5000 APU (quad core w/ built in graphic capability) RAM: 4GB. Graphics Controller Model (integrated) Radeon HD 8330 HDD: 500GB (Minecraft needs 200MB, approx 1/5 of 1GB) Java: unknown base spec, but Java is free to download/update much like Adobe Flash
