I Bought a Cheap Official Minecraft Gaming Laptop...

Recently I came across an exclusive Minecraft gaming laptop and couldn't help but wonder if it was actually powerful enough to handle the very game it is designed around. Let's unbox it and see what it can do!
This laptop is available at Argos UK

This runs so much better than the PC I used in high school a few years ago. It ran minecraft at maybe 24 fps all lowest settings, but I'd really push it and try to play Skyrim on it. I used every config setting and mod to make it as easy to run as possible, and wound up playing it at 20fps, which made the whole Tablet extremely hot (it was painful to touch the screen) and it routinely crashed every 30 minutes, and by God's beard I loved it

[@RandomGaminginHD]

So the laptop comes with a free copy of the windows edition, but as per request of a few comments I have tested the Java edition too. From what I’ve seen the performance differences are negligible average frame rate wise, but the java edition has more dips (edited after further testing)

Bedrock edition (included version/mobile/console) runs much better but java edition is less buggy and has a few extremely important features that are absent on bedrock. I think bedrock is supposed to use multiple cores and be a lot lighter to run in general.

@@y00d It wouldnt have bad framerate problems if they took the time to update it to run off more than 1 cpu core. Nobody plays bedrock edition because there is no mod support and anything extra is a cheap and lazy way for microsoft to make a buck

[@Sebkrist]

Awesome review. A little update for you! Not easy finding any info on this outside of the store details. I just got one of these, but an all grey one. And with a bit faster cpu and gpu. I'm just going to use it for traveling, because of it's slimness, weight and the fact that it only needs my 65w USB-C phone-charger to charge. The whole thing looks kinda like a expensive laptop, but it's all plastic. And if you lift it by one of the edges, it feels like it's going to break. But I only paid £150 on sale, so I can't really complaine too much. I deactivated the S part and downloaded Win11 for free at once. After deleting the remains of Win10 and it's files, I ended up with 32 GB of free space on the 64 GB drive. I think that is pretty good. That is after downloading all apps I need. I testet it on KZbin in 2160p 30fps and it worked fine, very well actually. I tried it on 1080p 60fps and it didn't do well at all on that one. Also tried basic 4K on Netflix, it worked smooth as well. I also tried 1080p Hevc (x265) file, a typical tv-show file and it worked well. But it seems the grafic has some issues showing that smooth quality. It turned out kinda lifeless in the colors and almost looks like one of those old XviD files or a 480p file. It might be better on other files. We'll see. Anyways, it seems to be running smooth. It gets very hot when charging and being used at the same time. It took a long time updating and deleting it all. I think about 5-6 hours total. It's not like my gaming desktop, that would have done the same job in 35 minutes. I opned the little box on the backside. It looks like it's ready for an M.2 card (harddisk) SSD. But I don't know what would be the max. I also suspect the ram is soldered directly on the motherboard. So I wouldn't expect to be upgrading that any time soon. That's a shame. When watching video in 4K on Netflix/KZbin and using Utorrent at a 150mbps speed it was using about 80% of the 4 GB memory. But taking the price in consideration, this is a winner. For my use, traveling with only a bag on my back, it's perfect for just watching and downloading movies and using for emails and such. I'm happy with it. But it feels cheap and it is cheap. It runns very good with Win11 and all useless apps removed at startup. Cheers :)

[@Sebkrist]

I forgot to add that I also got a 128 GB EVO 4K memory card fior it. It works perfect. And I got it on sale for only £12. Perfect when you want to download a bit and you may move them to the card. 160mbps speed. Not bad :)

One thing to note, is that this game is running Bedrock edition, which can run on any potato with windows 10. Also with Bedrock Edition it caps to 60fps by default, little bit of googling and you can find out how easy it is to remove the 60fps cap, you have edit the options.txt file which is pretty hidden, sadly you cannot do this within the game settings. Java edition would've run around 60 fps too i'd guess, maybe around 40, still pretty good.

[@apex2504]

bedrock isn't technically capped at 60fps. it simply forces vsync so it is locked to your refresh rate, hence why i get 144fps in bedrock minecraft

[@daysuki61]

there are texture packs that unlock those secret settings such as vsync and fps limiter slider

it mightve been different if you ran java edition instead of bedrock edition, java is the better version but it is more demanding than bedrock

[@msinfo32]

Theres also the fact that there is a 60fps cap on Bedrock edition, unless you edit a vsync value in the options.txt file

[@rixuuu]

For single player survival there is no difference between those two, but if you want to do something else than just mineing diamonds or play with your console friends, then java is for you. But yes, java version is more demanding than bedrock.

[@H0ttabych]

@@rixuuu there are a LOT of differences even for single player, especially when it comes to redstone

@@rixuuu I don't think vanilla Java multiplayer has anything more than Bedrock offers. I would say it's easier to connect to another friend's world on Bedrock, either open the game to LAN or send invites, then you see the game in the Friends list.
