is it good for downloading games/using steam and Minecraft?

The answer would depend on the minimum and recommended specifications of the games you're trying to play. If the hardware meets or exceeds the recommended specifications for the game, then it will play very well.

I have downloaded a few games, but I mostly use this laptop for homework and downloading pictures.

YES! i have 12 gigs of ram now, thinking of upgrading again to 16. Also should be able to run modern games. Has no problem running minecraft!

I would say yes. You don't require a lot of processing power to play Minecraft.

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.

My son is seven. He uses it to play mine craft. As long as you aren't looking for speed or large storage space than it is a good investment for the money especially because it has Google play.

Yes. I bought it for my son; he plays Minecraft and Plants vs Zombies on it often.

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.

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.

I use it for both of those games with no problems. Most important is to get plenty of memory and CPU power (i5 or better)

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

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.

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.

I would say no. The Tablet does what I need it to (play videos on a merchandise table and make payments with credit card reader) but other than that, apps run slow, if more than two apps run at a time then the tablet lags and freezes. Also only gives you 2gb of available storage space for apps which fills up very quick. I very much doubt it could run minecraft without blowing up lol.

It's fairly good. It can run swtor on max and can also run minecraft with shaders with no lag. It's a very good card for the price.

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 believe there were some offline games on it but I can't be sure. It does support Steam.

Almost definitely. I played Age of Empires 3 on it which I'm pretty sure is more graphically intensive than Minecraft.
