Can i play minecraft on a HP Laptop?

[Jonathan Fallon]

Hi,

 

Im thinking of buying a hp pavillion 15-p200na laptop  with an i5 processor, would it be able to play minecraft decently with no lag if you reduce the settings. I have an old Toshiba satellite c660 1f1 and a custom built desktop which is great but i need a cheap portable laptop.

depending on how derpy intel drivers are it could be really shitty, playable, or decent.

 

it is mostly capable, but intel GPU drivers and minecraft tend to not like each other.

Depends.

Broadwell based systems can run Minecraft with optifine @ 1080p with about 100fps+ with frames dropping depending on the scenario., tested it myself.

If you want to game, find a system with a discreet GPU.

 

And make does not matter these days.

When I tried this crap I ran MC after that for the lulz, managed 44 FPS average, but on windowed mode because I don't like MC fullscreen though that laptop has broadwell HD 5500, which is better than a Pentium G3220's iGPU, he *should* get very playable framerate at 1366x768, not sure about higher resolutions but what @Windows2000 said could work

The frames weren't stable though. At worst times, it drops to like 30. 

But if you have to get a PC with an iGPU, go with broadwell.

If you have more budget, find one with a discreet GPU.

 

And personally, I think HP and Dell sucks donkey balls.

On my mac I have intel iris pro graphics, and can run Minecraft smoothly, even at max settings with basic shaders

I played minecraft on a Surface Pro 3 and it was totally playable. I think you're good.

UK you say, IDK how are prices in there, but i put 400-500 GBP range (because that HP is 479 GBP, at least according HP ) and I found this in amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Toshiba-Satellite-L50-Notebook-Operating/dp/B00OK74ELU/ref=sr_1_16?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1440803700&sr=1-16

IK, no OS, but it's an R7 M260 and you can get a key from /r/microsoftsoftwareswap
