TheShadbusherThere isn't much you can do to speed it up.

You have enough RAM, the CPU is good, and the iGPU is *alright.* You won't be playing new games at high resolutions or running shaders in Minecraft, but you should play vanilla Minecraft on medium settings just fine.

Woody239What's your GPU?

That laptop uses the iGPU on the i5.

Oh, my bad, I didn't see that he said that it's an Acer Aspire. I just assumed that it was an old desktop... (I had never heard of a 4200u before, and I just assumed it was an old i5).

Also, @OP, as TheShadbusher said, there's not much you can do to speed it up. It's a laptop, so it's not like you can upgrade hardware.
I've heard that re-installing Windows will sometimes speed up a computer, but not by a lot, and it requires a decent amount of PC knowledge to do.
You can also remove unwanted stuff on your PC, which will sometimes speed up your laptop.
