How is this computer for gaming? Minecraft especially.

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.

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 never played minecraft, but I do play other games and I am very happy with my Dell OprtiPlex 745.

to retort about windows 8 "stinks"... the laptop should run minecraft, granted not at "max settings" but windows 8 does not hinder the functionality of gaming... windows 8 actually helps things run smoother by being less of a system resource hog on lower spec'd machines. if you hate metro ui then install one of the many start menu's.

I've never played minecraft on it. It is a good general purpose computer. It's fairly rugged. I've played battlezone 3 on it and starcraft. I'm guessing that if you are playing games that are older than 8 years you should be safe.

I play world of Warcraft on it, works good but not as good as my Alienware.

As far as I know it was. I bought it for a son of a friend. He had a lot of problems with it though because he uses his computer mostly for gaming (Minecraft). He got a brand new computer for Christmas and doesn't use this one any longer.

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:

Yes Minecraft works absolutely perfectly on this, i can also run it on my older hp laptop version of this with only a dual core and 4 gb ram, this thing runs it on max specs pretty well.

I don't play Minecraft. But I would assume you could. Check if the game has minimum spec requirements and check to see if this laptop meets them or exceeds them.I will, however, note that this computer can slow down a bit after heavy use. So you may be able to run Minecraft smoothly at first, but not for a long period of time.

Can't really answer that since I don't play Minecraft. I play Duke Nukem, Civ V and some others. I don't think you'll have any problems running Minecraft.

Yes it will, smoothly. Minecraft is not a really demanding game graphic wise so yes.

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.

its decent for it. its got integrated graphics which kinda sucks, but itll play things like skyrim on low settings, if you want to use that as a benchmark. i havent noticed any overheating problem. i personally use it for gaming as im a twitch streamer and this is my main rig atm. i havent really tried newer games on it as much. it has slowdown with dolphin (gamecube/wii emulator) but runs things like Skullgirls no problem.

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 have minecraft for this and it works great. this laptop can even handle complex online games such as half life and halo and left 4 dead. i was very suprised. this is a great gaming laptop for not huge but popular games

This is a basic bare bones server. While yes, it could likely play games like minecraft well, you would need to add components like a hard drive, operating system, and possibly a CD drive to get any use out of it. Unless you know how to build a computer/server its best you stear clear and stick with a complete system.
