Can one run Minecraft on this laptop?

probably but it would be slow, get something a little faster and you should be good to go

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

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.

No. The processor is not fast enough to guarantee no lag in a game like Minecraft.

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.

In theory, you can, but I will take some work. You would need to switch it to running Linux, then recompile the Minecraft stuff to work on ARM instead of x86. That requires the source code, which I'm unsure is available.

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

Nothing works good with minecraft. Go read a book. Just kidding. yes, this computer will work fine with minecraft. Really depends on your internet speed and your router.

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

Hmm, my daughter is not able to play minecraft on my 6930p - the graphics card says it can't handle it. She does play sims 3 and Zoo Tycoon on it though.

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!

I am sure you probably can, but I would definitely recommend comparing the specs requirements of the game to the specs of the laptop.

Yes. You can play minecraft on almost ANY Windows computer XP and beyond. I'd stick to Vista and above though, because there will be no more patches/upgrades to XP, Microsoft support ended April of this year. I recommend the free upgrade to Windows 8.1 to avoid many annoyances of Windows 8 for this computer.

This should run that just fine. I run a dedicated Minecraft server in Linux Mint with 1.5GB of RAM allocated to the Java process. It hardly ever goes over 10% CPU usage.

It runs Minecraft quite well for my son at full settings. It ran even better with the addition of 4GB of RAM. For me mass Exports in Lightroom of RAW files with parameter changes goes much quicker than with my Lenovo X1 Carbon with i5.

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

This model does allow games, but those like sims 3, minecraft, etc. will not play and there is no way to upgrade the hardware unless you buy a new motherboard
