Do you need a gaming laptop to play MineCraft smoothly?

I don't see the point of getting a gaming laptop since consoles are best, although MineCraft is best for PC. I don't want to spend more than $400 on a laptop, because I don't have that much money and need to save for other things.

You don't really need a laptop that's too beefy to run minecraft smoothly. If it does lag however you can download optifine which basically make minecraft lighter and easier for your laptop to run.

No, just don't play on fancy and play with small chunks. Hope this helped, cheers.

No I'm sure you can use any PC to play this game

Consoles ARE NOT the best… The graphics card in the latest xbox one was made in 2005 or something like that, and they have only just figured out how to put it in a console… The latest 2014 graphics cards that only go in computers are much much better. And minecraft would run on close to any laptop, as long as its reasonably modern. If you were to get a gaming computer, get a pc not a laptop, they are much faster and bigger screens.

You don't neccessarly need a gaming laptop, but you need something decent, like maybe 2-4 gbs of ram, no intel graphics card they suck, and like 2 ghz cpu

No, Minecraft will work on any computer thats not old. If you can play steam games then you can play minecraft. If your looking for a gaming computer, then get the Alien. Its costly, but its the best around.
