The laptop is a decent one it can run world of warcraft or diablo 3. Not sure on minecraft the screen hinges on satellite are bad if screws are missing so make sure all screws are still in it if you get one

It depends on If your going to school from gaming, animations, or anything related to digital art. Taking that in mind, no the C655d is an older model Toshiba which in my personal opinion is the single worse laptop to run minecraft and depending on your budget you can find a fairly decent laptop.

the hardware on this model is for crap. i wouldnt buy it for school...or anything for that matter.

No. This is an EXTREMELY fragile laptop. The screen cracks from even minor bumps to the top. I would not spend any money on this model laptop.

My satellite crashes so many times that now I can blink right when it crashes. I've had this laptop for two years and they've been interesting. It's unbelievably fragile and I had to baby it to keep it in good shape. Right now, I have to get it repaired, again, for a processor failure. In my opinion, it would be better to get either an Acer, Asus, or a different model of Toshiba because they are more reliable and are at least not entirely made of plastic.

Tbh I give it a 3 it's great for the price and won't break if proper use but I would throw it in a backpack without a laptop sleeve built in with padding, but for a student which I am the material is durable enough for me but the laptop I think is designed to be light weight which it is fora15.6in screen and no sharp edges really the corners aren't too round but it's the design it won't cut or scratch you though. If u r worried about toughness get a aluminum cased laptop I think dell has a few thus laptop is pretty much only good for student use but not gamer or extensive Downloader

Edward,You're very welcome. I ordered it straightly from Amazon one week and a half ago when it was $949. General impression about it - I love it! It is super fast. My previous laptop was based on Core 2 Duo (2 GB RAM) and the difference in speed is very noticeable.

Hi Daniel,I am not a gamer and I don't even know what minecraft is!! I bought this laptop because it met my specs. I use it mainly for research and shopping. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

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

If by "real laptop" you mean to ask if it has the capabilities to game or to use MS Office, etc - the answer is NO. It would be a good toy or perhaps a learning machine for a grade schooler.The first one I received would not work at all, returned it and the second one they sent me in exchange worked OK. However when I found it useless for anything except email, I gave it to charity.

I would say yes if there are programs that you need it for. It is basically a desktop replacement but if you are able to I would suggest leaving it at home/dorm-room so it doesn't get damage or undergo wear and tear because it's pretty large. For an example if your going to class I would suggest taking a netbook since you a lot of times they are available for a cheap price on Amazon and when you get back home or to your dorm housing use the big laptop. I'm just saying that if your able and would be able to have the means to do so. I hope this helps and I wish you the best on whatever decision you make.

For a non-gaming laptop, it actually games pretty well. I've played Civ5 and Guild Wars 2 on mine and it does fine. It gets a bit hot on the underside when you have been at it for a while but overall, pretty good laptop.

It's a great little machine, but it is NOT gamer capable. That's totally not the market this is focused at - think of this thing as a modern "netbook". It's fine for browsing the web and general "office" apps, but you aren't going to want to run anything beyond web-based games on it.

It is a nice laptop to be sure, but it is not a gaming rig. In my experience running games on laptops works best if they have dedicated graphics memory such as NVIDIA's GeForce series processors. The laptop you mentioned utilizes the Intel Haswell HD 5000 Series on-board graphics memory, which is good enough for almost any everyday task such as email, web videos and so on. If you are a serious gamer, then buying a laptop with dedicated (or separate) graphics card is a must.

Depends. I've only tried minecraft on it and it works pretty good with a few settings changed. I don't really think that this is a "full fledged" gaming computer, though

The laptop should be fine on School work and Minecraft but I'm unfamiliar with the requirements of Rust. This is a business grade laptop so they usually do not have a really powerful gaming video card in it.

I'm using mine right now, and I will be replacing it soon with a desktop. It is fine with minor games such as classic fallout and (sometimes) minecraft. When I first got it, it ran fallout 3 just fine with medium video settings, and now (after owning it for a few years), it can struggle doing basic functions. If you plan on playing demanding games such as GTA or some other huge retail game, DO NOT get this laptop. If you plan on just playing simple games and you don't intend to be "hardcore gaming," then go ahead. I am not disappointed with this laptop, it just doesn't meet my standards for gaming.

It depends on your needs. Home business, office work, school, or just for fun? It's a powerful computer, and for average use works very well!! If you want something that also games well, you will need to have a better video card installed. Otherwise for the money you can't beat this computer! :)
