Laptop good enough to run Minecraft?

AustinA · Nov 24, 2014

I am looking at getting one of these laptops in this general price range and I was wondering if these would be okay with running Minecraft or other similar games with pretty much no FPS problems.

If they happen to not be viable, could you link something in the same price range that could run games like Minecraft fairly well?

I understand 4GB of RAM will do the job, barely, but still good enough. I am not sure what the graphics is, it just says Intel Hd Graphics. Sounds pretty bad.

It should work for low settings on minecraft.

If you can afford $300 then get the following 15.6" Dell Inspiron for $300. It has a Core i3 CPU with the Intel HD 4400.

The Core i3 CPU is more powerful than the Celeron N2830 which is a low power Bay Trail-M Atom CPU. While the Intel HD 4400 is considered weak compared to dedicated graphic chips it is far more powerful than the Intel HD (Bay Trail-M) graphics core.

Sell link for some games played with the Intel HD 4400 graphics core.
