What does all this mean?
Minecraft plays far better with a faster single core processor. So, any computer you look at needs to have a processor faster than 2.6ghz. And yes... it doesn't matter if you are looking at an inexpensive Toshiba that has a Pentium 2.66 ghz processor, or some Core-I monster. If the processor is not 2.6ghz or faster, playing the game will be painful.
Minecraft will play with Intel HD graphics, but it is recommended to have a discrete video chipset if you want it to look good and play smoothly without lag.
So. You want a laptop that will play Minecraft? This laptop will play Minecraft but not the way the game was designed to be played.
