PotatoLaptop123

As much as I would love that laptop, it's just short of $1000 in my currency which for me is a bit too much.

I have 3 options: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0862269YP/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A13LH54DPRYAH4&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-VivoBook-R5-3500U-Graphics-F512DA-EB51/dp/B07QQB7552/ref=psdc_13896615011_t3_B088FTRQG7?th=1 https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Display-Graphics-Keyboard-A515-43-R19L/dp/B07Z1165XY/ref=sr_1_20?dchild=1&keywords=laptop&qid=1607413150&refinements=p_36%3A-65000&rnid=2421885011&sr=8-20&th=1 I have no idea, they all have identical graphics cards (Vega eight) and CPUs (Ryzen 5 3500u) And are all

I can't find any with more than 2 cores, and I need at least 4.

Don't really want to spend more than 600USD since as a student, I have other things to pay off as well. As for screen size, 14"-15.6" is good.

(And of course charging port) Also I don't want to be lugging 5kg of laptop around, even though I don't travel much with my laptop.

I'm considering the Acer Aspire 5 A515-55-56VK without the dedicated graphics since that costs a bit more, it has a 10th Gen Core i5-1035G1, 8GB RAM, and 256GB SSD.

So really my question is, can I play Minecraft a
