is this laptop good for minecraft

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.

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.

ONe of the reviews was from a Mom who said she purchased it for her teenager who had been using it for Minecraft and gave it two thumbs up. Looks like it will. That's what I'm looking for as well.

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

I ended up purchasing an Acer Aspire V5-552P-X440 because it has a touchscreen and a slightly better graphics card. The laptop I purchased runs minecraft very well. I haven't tried it with mods though.

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.

Yes but it's not the best with minecraft it's more important to get a strong Cpu. 3.5 ghz and 4 cores c:

It runs fine on league of legends on high, just need to make sure that the fan isnt covered. I get around 50 to 150 fps depending how much action is going on. I'm not sure about minecraft.

It's great. That is pretty much all my son uses his computer for; to play minecraft!

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

The graphics are the onboard Intel HD Graphics 3000 which has 1.67GB of dedicated memory. Running Minecraft is rough with that, and because it's integrated into the mobo, it isn't upgradeable. I still highly recommend this machine as a former engineering major during college. Great machine with the i7 and 8GB of RAM, but weak graphics.

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

Oh yes this runs garrys mod, half life, and other steam games quite nicely, the first day i got this i played halflife and worked beautifully. if you want to game, then this is a decent laptop. minecraft also works if you have certain settings set.

I am not familiar with Minecraft, but I assume it is a game foe PC. If you run the game in any other high end PC, then this computer should not have any problem. It also comes with a genuine Lenovo AC power cord.

I have not played minecraft, however, all games I have played have run very smoothly. The system is definitely set up for games. Other games that were laggy on my previous system run great now.

Absolutely. It is way past the "recommended" system requirements on Mojang site: https://help.mojang.com/customer/portal/articles/325948-minecraft-system-requirements If you look at the wiki page linked there, you'll see the GT 740M running it 1366768 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.

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.
