Little Sub plays Minecraft pocket edition on an iPad. He's saved some money and perhaps wants to purchase a laptop to step up to the PC game.

What's reasonable? Could you use one of the $200-ish Dells to do it? (2G/500G Celeron). I looked at their specs and couldn't see what kind of video card those have.

Thanks!

It runs on almost anything. I had a sandy bridge i3 laptop (with the Intel 2500 graphics I think?) and it ran great on that

If you use the default texture pack Minecraft will run on anything

There's actually a website that I found that can tell you the max setting for a minecraft server a computer can run when you type in specs.

If you can run a server, you can run the game.

So type your specs in here: LINK /

It all comes down to RAM and internet speed.

For your personal game, it comes down to RAM. Upgrade/increase that and you can run Minecraft. Pretty sure the game will just run as fast as it can with what it has to go on...

Turn mipmap levels to 0 and reduce chunks loaded and you can run it on a very slow computer.

Thanks fellas!

I fronted him a few bucks and he got a Lenovo laptop - 6 gig ram, 500 gig hard drive with an AMD A8 processor. We're running 26.2 Mbps here at our house, it seems like it's working really well.
