Is It Good For MINECRAFT

Good? Yes. Optimal? No. Definitely needs a better graphics card than the motherboard, a processor, and all the other essentials for this kit to work.

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.

Oh yes. Definitely good for games. I play TF2, Minecraft, Tekkit, and various other steam games. They all run great. For the price this is definitely the best gaming laptop out there. I actually got it for 375 (not including tax) at Best Buy as an open box deal! I suggest looking there.

Minecraft is more memory hungry than processor hungry. Given that information, the processor should be more than capable of hosting that sort of minecraft server. Cheers.

It's not worth it this is a really old laptop plus you need intel to run minecraft and that's find in the newer macs

I think something like minecraft it would be great for. It may not be good for complex gaming such as halo

In my opinion. It is not the best computer for gaming. All though it does work ok. My brother is a huge mine craft fan and he said that it was slightly slow. It still is good though. Alienware computers are expensive. But they are the best for gaming.

Absolutely. It is way past the "recommended" system requirements on Mojang site: https://help.mojang.com/customer/portal/articles/325948-minecraft-system-requirementsIf you look at the wiki page linked there, you'll see the GT 740M running it 1366×768 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.

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

Mine runs minecraft on maximum settings pretty alright. For a game like that for sure get a graphics card upgrade and maybe another stick of RAM.

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.

This laptop has right around the minimum required processing power needed for Mine Craft. I would say you can probably use it for games in such however a bit more processing speed may be needed.

I bought it for my son who is huge into minecraft. He loves it! Works great for it.

Sorry i have no idea what the minecraft is, and i just bought it so can't comment how long its gonna last working fast. But as of now its working fine though.

Yes it can run Minecraft. To know if other programs will work, simply Google the name of the program with "system requirements" at the end.

It will run League with all the setting maxed out. Don't know about minecraft.

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.
