Laptop for Minecraft

[padsi1975]

Hi, hoping someone can help please. My 10 year old has asked for a laptop for his birthday, for minecraft and typing stories and doing homework. Would minecraft work on either of these two machines? I'm going around in circles and don't know what I'm doing. Thanks! Lenovo ThinkPad X260 or Dell Inspiron 3000 3511.

Hopeful bump

Mine plays minecraft on a Dell, also does all homework etc on it. I'll check the model

And get back to you

Oh thank you so much Moses.

It's an inspiron 5558 . Probably quite an old model. I'm afraid I'm not that clued up on computers so can't really advise

Thanks a mill.

Where are you getting these from? And what is your budget.

If you're buying a laptop, particularly for gaming it pays to decide how much you can afford, and shop around for the best deal within your budget. If you go in blindly, you may be dissapointed. Kids grow, as do they're gaming needs and laptops can't really be meaningfully upgraded.
