can you play minecraft on this computer?

Unfortunately, we purchased the computer for our business and there are no games on it. Sorry

Yes, but it will be very slow. I would look for a computer with a I7 Quad 1.73 or faster.

Yes. But from what I understand, it is a 32-bit (not a 64-bit) OS, so it'll run a bit clunkier in Far Mode on Minecraft. But yes, Minecraft runs just fine in the lower settings. I've been able to play quite a few games on this system, all of them incredibly more graphic than Minecraft. Star Wars: The Old Republic and Star Trek: Online both play fine in the lower settings on this laptop.

you can but this will not run minecraft well. if you need help finding a better laptop, let me know. tomorrow they should have some good sales and you should be able to get a pretty good laptop at decent prices.

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.

Minecraft will run on any new PC/Laptop. You don't need a separate GPU. It's a web-based application.

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.

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 GHzRAM: 4GBGPU: GeForce 2xx Series or AMD Radeon HD 5xxx Series (Excluding Integrated Chipsets) with OpenGL 3.3HDD: 1GBLatest release of Java 7 from java.com

Honestly, don't buy it if you want to play minecraft on it cause minecraft doesn't work on this computer at all you can't even. Download it or even download anything from online sites. Best choice is to just keep looking.

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.

Easily. You could probably run a small Minecraft server on this machine with no problems.

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

Of course. The Alienware x51 is designed to run games, for Alienware makes gaming computers. Minecraft is not the most demanding game for the Alienware x51. So again, of course you could run Minecraft up to 60 fps. I've personally run it up to maybe 200fps in my singleplayer world (after I loaded all of the chunks in the area that is).

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

Yes! You just have to download the .jar version. Remember this is an old computer. It is from January 2005. Even though it work great for graphics because it has a ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 with 128mb of VRAM. That is better then a new PC with an Intel Graphics Card. Furthermore it does have trouble with HD Video. If you want to watch YouTube videos I recommend putting Leopard on it and watching the videos in 480p. There is a great app called YouView. To find it just type in to google "YouView PPC". Any app you want to run on this Mac just type in to google "the app name" and "ppc". PPC is the kind of processor that this computer has. Most people do not make software for ppc anymore. But, many still do. Have fun with it. This computer is great for minecraft.

Depends. I've only tried minecraft on it and it works pretty good with a few settings changed. I don't really think that this is a "full fledged" gaming computer, though

Hello you actually can play minecraft on this chromebook once you install ubuntu using crouton then installing minecraft. I will leave a link to this video if you want it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_MuVwJq_XQ&feature;=iv&src;_vid=qOoCxrn5M9Y&anno;tation_id=annotation_4013503777 this is the link paste it in your browser.

did some quick research looks like this would breeze through Minecraft... Minecraft Minimum Requirements: CPU: Intel Pentium D or AMD Athlon 64 (K8) 2.6 GHz. RAM: 2GB. GPU (Integrated): Intel HD Graphics or AMD (formerly ATI) Radeon HD Graphics with OpenGL 2.1. GPU (Discrete): Nvidia GeForce 9600 GT or AMD Radeon HD 2400 with OpenGL 3.1. HDD: At least 200MB for Game Core and Other Files. Java 6 Release 45. ASUS X552EA-DH41 specs CPU: AMD A4-5000 APU (quad core w/ built in graphic capability) RAM: 4GB. Graphics Controller Model (integrated) Radeon HD 8330 HDD: 500GB (Minecraft needs 200MB, approx 1/5 of 1GB) Java: unknown base spec, but Java is free to download/update much like Adobe Flash
