Can my son access his minecraft game like he does on the laptop? Or does he need to purchase the pocket addition?

We may not have been smart enough to figure out importing the full Minecraft version, though. I haven't bought the SD card yet, so that might make a difference as far as space?

I'am not sure. I would say save your $$ it NEVER worked right. They did give me a full refund. I couldn't do simple things. It was junk

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.

This is amazing for minecraft. I tested it out at the Apple Store and there was no lag at all. That's one of reason I'm getting one.

My son is seven. He uses it to play mine craft. As long as you aren't looking for speed or large storage space than it is a good investment for the money especially because it has Google play.

In general no. There are sites which offer Minecraft in the browser, but they are almost certainly using the Java browser plugin, which isn't supported on Chromebooks. It is possible to put the Chromebook in Developer Mode, install Java, then get Minecraft working. There are websites and YouTube videos explaining how. But I don't think it's easy.

Yes, you can play the full Minecraft Pocket Edition for $6.99 on the iPad. But if you have an android tablet, the full game is free.

We have not used it for Minecraft, but I am sure it would be just fine. My kids have played other games on the computer with no issues.

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.

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

The onboard video will be fine for Minecraft, just make sure you have enough ram to share with it.

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.

We bought this particular laptop for my son to play Minecraft and all the other games that kids are playing now. He loves this laptop! I would recommend it! I was very skeptical when I bought my refurbished laptop from Amazon last year, but we are beyond pleased with the one we bought.

Free game: mine craft demo. But the complete mine craft game -pocket edition costs $6.99 to download. Go to google apps or iTunes apps for download instruction.
