Can my grandson play Minecraft on a Chromebook?

I believe you can. You have to download the app from their chrome App Store

No (the short answer). [There are ways to modify your Chromebook to make this possible, but I do not recommend it.]There are online games and other games you can play on your Chromebook. I recommend if you do this, to log your grandson in using the "guest" account. That way, everything is "cleaned up" automatically when he or she is done. There are games offered in the Play Store. I do not play games on mine, so cannot offer you much advice there. Good luck!

The app is in the Chrome web store. I am not a game player but if they offer the app it must work, don't you think.

It's OK for gaming. My boy has been using it to play games on his ChromeBook.

My son is seven. He uses it to play mine craft. As long as you aren't looking for speed or large storage space than it is a good investment for the money especially because it has Google play.

You really can't download or install anything on a chromebook. You only will have a chrome web browser to do anything with.

Yes, that is pretty much all my son does with his is play MineCraft & Call of Duty without any issues.

It might i dont know, I guess depends on what specifications and hardware you put in it, anything will run Minecraft then.Sorry

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

In a word no. BUT (see the Big BUT) it is not entirely out of the question that someday you will be able to, or with enough determination you could make it work.WoW or World of Warcraft probably too much work.See Link Here: http://www.chromebookforum.com/forum/17-chrome-os-software-forum/4321-wow-chromebook-how.htmlMinecraft I believe is only available for iOS/Android,PC or Mac...so The Chrome OS that the Chromebook runs will probably not play minecraft at this point.

Yes you will be able to play minecraft and the sims on this laptop but very slow at low settings, i don't know roblox. I don't recommend to play those games on this laptop because the game sessions of this brands are very large and will decrease the life of the batery. This is an economy laptop.

I am not familiar with Minecraft, but I assume it is a game foe PC. If you run the game in any other high end PC, then this computer should not have any problem. It also comes with a genuine Lenovo AC power cord.

I honestly do not know. I've not attempted to play any video games on the system. It's a fairly decent machine, so I would suspect it would play it fine. Minecraft graphics don't seem that demanding, but I'm no expert.

My daughter has this and it does NOT play Minecraft... and we tried everything to speed it up. Very slow computer!!

considering that the chrome OS is less of a full function OS and more of a straight-to-internet type...I'm going to say NO...no it will not. A wired controller however would work , you might want to check the youtube video "chromebook how to connect a xbox/ps3 controller and what games"

Yes Minecraft works absolutely perfectly on this, i can also run it on my older hp laptop version of this with only a dual core and 4 gb ram, this thing runs it on max specs pretty well.

Depends. I've only tried minecraft on it and it works pretty good with a few settings changed. I don't really think that this is a "full fledged" gaming computer, though

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.

So long as you do it through Crouton (the optional Linux chroot environment), you can install any desktop application that works in Ubuntu Linux, such as Minecraft, Wine and Steam. ChromeOS, by itself, doesn't have a Minecraft version of its own yet.
