My son wants a new laptop for his birthday. He mainly would like something that would run Minecraft well. Can anyone suggest something for around the £500-£600 region?

Acer nitro 5 with a last gen 10400h + 1650?

 

Does it have to be a laptop?

 

Also what else does your son need it for?

These days integrated graphics are pretty decent. I think it could even run on Ryzen Vega 6/7/8/10.

I suggest a Ryzen 3 5300U or Ryzen 5 5500U laptop with Vega graphics. It will be fine for light/casual gaming and also work in Minecraft. Lenovo Ideapad 3 models would fit in the budget, as well as many HP models.

For better gaming I'd say a Lenovo Ideapad 3 Gaming with Ryzen and a GTX 1650.
