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 the integrated Intel HD Graphics 5500 support, but this does not meet the recommended spec 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.
