Does Minecraft run good on this laptop?

I haven't had any problems running it at all. But be aware that asus has a default setting that shuts down wifi when the battery gets low, so you want to either play while on a charger or do what I did; google how to turn off that setting.

I don't have Minecraft to test, but I was able to play Final Fantasy XIV and Diablo 3 at low/medium settings with an acceptable framerate.

My son plays minecraft on it all the time. It is a good computer for gaming.

This computer could run just about everything that's currently on the market. I wouldn't go trying any Cryengine games though. Your CPU is likely to melt. Also, the GPU inside of it is not very good at all so, Minecraft is a yes. Crysis 3 on low 1080 p. No.

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

I don't recomend this laptop for games it wouldn't even run my sims game so it probably wouldn't run mine craft

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.

Incredibly. Minecraft isn't a game that places a high toll on your GPU, which is this desktop's only weak point. Unless you download an ultra-realistic HD pack, it'll run fine on even Far render distance.

This laptop has always run amazing for me on high graphical demanding games with lots of textures on at a time like Rome II, XCOM, etc. It should run minecraft easily!

In my experience with this computer, I will say no. It could not run Dragon Age on medium or even low settings, and Minecraft wouldn't even run. I know there is a difference between Java Run games and games that run from your graphics card, however in both cases, the processor in this computer was too weak to run either. If you can get one these with an upgraded processor for a cheap price you may be able to with more success. It's been two years since I wrote this review and the technology has grown exponentially. Just double check any graphics and processor specs before ordering, and if you do choose to order this computer, double check the specs when it arrives. I was promised a 3.2 GHz processor and was sent a computer with 1.9 GHz.

I used to run minecraft on it, but I had to set the distance to short and the textures to flat instead of fancy. So yeah, but it's not going to be the best experience.

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.

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.

The capacity of this computer is way bigger then playing minecraft, im sure it can run it very very smothly on high settings.

Ignore the previous two comments. Minecraft is not a high requirement game. It runs fine on a 2007 imac, this will handle it just fine. Recommended Requirements: CPU: Intel Core i3 or AMD Athlon II (K10) 2.8 GHz RAM: 4GB GPU: GeForce 2xx Series or AMD Radeon HD 5xxx Series (Excluding Integrated Chipsets) with OpenGL 3.3 HDD: 1GB Latest release of Java 7 from java.com

Most likely. Check to see how much RAM is required for minecraft and wether or not this laptop meets those requirements.
