Would this be a good laptop to run minecraft smoothly without lagging?

I can play Minecraft on this laptop without it lagging, only if I install the mod "optifine" and turn all the settings to the lowest quality. So, no not really.

Absolutely. It is way past the "recommended" system requirements on Mojang site: https://help.mojang.com/customer/portal/articles/325948-minecraft-system-requirementsIf you look at the wiki page linked there, you'll see the GT 740M running it 1366×768 at 140fps, this laptop is slower by not more than 25% slower, so you should be in 60-80fps range easily, making it nice and smooth.

Incredibly. Minecraft isn't a game that places a high toll on your GPU, which is this desktop's only weak point. Unless you download an ultra-realistic HD pack, it'll run fine on even Far render distance.

This laptop has right around the minimum required processing power needed for Mine Craft. I would say you can probably use it for games in such however a bit more processing speed may be needed.

The graphics are the onboard Intel HD Graphics 3000 which has 1.67GB of dedicated memory. Running Minecraft is rough with that, and because it's integrated into the mobo, it isn't upgradeable. I still highly recommend this machine as a former engineering major during college. Great machine with the i7 and 8GB of RAM, but weak graphics.

yes - absolutely; my son runs those (minecraft: fullscreen and higher-than-default settings) on his PC and its a little more inferior that this one. Its more than enough to run Steam; however, depending on the games you run from Steam there may be performance issues (you're not going to run DayZ max vid settings on this; Starbound and others would work fine).

Yeah should be able to run easy, mines an i7 3770 and only 8gb ram and it runs perfectly.

Minecraft will run just fine. It does not require super powerful computer though

My son plays minecraft on it all the time. It is a good computer for gaming.

I've played all of the above with no problems, Can play minecraft on max settings with at least 60fps. tf2 ive played once or twice it was fine. skyrim was also fine

It handles many Steam games without issue (New Vegas, Portal 2, L4D2). I'm currently running Skyrim with mods at high setting (not highest, mind). Vanilla Minecraft runs really well, although I had unresolved operating issues with the Feed the Beast modpack.

it plays minecraft very well but more detailed graphic games like crysis, it will slow down

I've never played minecraft on it. It is a good general purpose computer. It's fairly rugged. I've played battlezone 3 on it and starcraft. I'm guessing that if you are playing games that are older than 8 years you should be safe.

Most likely. Check to see how much RAM is required for minecraft and wether or not this laptop meets those requirements.

im not sure haven't played minecraft on here but I have played many other games on this laptop and they run smoothly and no glitching its windows 8.1 and I haven't had a problem with games or anything lagging or glitching

Not gooood per se, but it plays some basic things pretty well. I played Portal, Mount and Blade Warband, Faster Than Light, Cavestory and vanilla Minecraft (esp. windows 10 edition) all without a hitch.

Yes. But from what I understand, it is a 32-bit (not a 64-bit) OS, so it'll run a bit clunkier in Far Mode on Minecraft. But yes, Minecraft runs just fine in the lower settings. I've been able to play quite a few games on this system, all of them incredibly more graphic than Minecraft. Star Wars: The Old Republic and Star Trek: Online both play fine in the lower settings on this laptop.
