    Any laptop will simply run minecraft. It depends on what you mean by running minecraft. Do you use resource packs? Shaders? Mods? These will all bring down your fps a noticeable amount on a tiny laptop.

    My $700 Lenovo laptop (just a work laptop, not gaming) couldn't even run YouTube and minecraft without a fps drop. My biggest suggestion is get a laptop with a SSD (solid state drive) and AT LEAST 8 GB of ram. Ram will let you multitask better and is very important. Anything over 8 would probably be unnecessary if you're using a cheap laptop (<$1000)

    it all depends on what kind of performance you want.
    do you want 10fps? 60fps? 120fps?

    You'd be very annoyed with 10. 60 is what you want

    My current PC is 60, I heard that this PC was 30 fps and 80 with optifine. Is the correct/what is optifine.

    yes, constant 10fps would be crap.
    60fps is probably what your screen can do maximum

    Yes, I'd like a new PC, is the 60 fps with or without optifine

    by the screen, I mean above 60 is pointless, you won't see a difference. There's really no way to know without seeing a review of it or something, and most reviews do not use minecraft as a benchmark.

    So you don't know? I'm confused, and if it was you, would you get the PC based on the price and its ability to run Skyblock?
