Yeah, it'll play it just fine. I have a laptop with a similar model, and it plays great, especially at 720p.

That's more of a decent budget PC. Graphics will get you a playable framerate even at 1080p (40-50 fps, but don't quote me), and you can upgrade that processor. Getting a little bit more RAM may be a good idea since the GPU will use some of that 4GB, but that won't cost you a lot. If you want to get some real graphics power, you should be able to get a better card later.

socksmusicalcatNope. AMD APUs usually aren't that bad for budget gaming, but that's only true for the A-series APUs. E-series (like the E1-1500 in this one) are ultra-low power, ultra low-budget processors more comparable to Intel's Atom series. Definitely not suitable for general gaming, much less Minecraft, which is fairly CPU-intensive.

Plus, E-series models are usually soldered on, last I checked, which makes attempting to upgrade a bad idea, if not virtually impossible.
