Minecraft is an incredibly popular game that originated on the PC before making its way to a plethora of other devices. This gives players the freedom to experiment in endless blocky worlds, collect resources, build shelters, and eventually create complex automated machines. Part of its magic is that it doesn't require a super gaming PC to run, opening it up to a lot of people. Whether you're looking to upgrade your laptop or just start exploring what the game has to offer, we've rounded up a review to pick the best laptop for Minecraft.

Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air 13.3

In the middle price segment, Xiaomi is following the same path as HP - sacrificing performance in favor of autonomy and fast work in office applications. As a computer heart in the Mi Notebook Air 13.3 model, a representative of the younger Intel family is installed - i3 8130U, which has 2 cores and 4 threads. Also, the model is equipped with 8 GB of RAM, running at a relatively high frequency for laptops 2400 MHz. However, you will not find a discrete graphics card here, only an integrated solution in the form of Intel UHD Graphics 620.

But the main feature of the model is good autonomy. The model will last 9 hours without recharging - this is an excellent result for a laptop. At the same time, the device weighs only 1.3 kg and has modest dimensions, which are more like a tablet: 309x210x14 mm. Due to its mobility, the model will be convenient to carry with you to class. However, it should be understood that compact dimensions are not compatible with a large diagonal. Here it is only 13.3 inches (but the resolution remains 1920x1080).

Of the additional features of the Xiaomi laptop: 2 USB 3.0 Type-A, fingerprint scanner, metal case, keyboard backlight. This model is even better suited for everyday simple tasks than the representative from HP. But if the HP 15-dw0008ur can somehow compete in resource-intensive applications with competitors, then you should not expect this from Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air 13.3 at all.

Acer Aspire 5 Slim

The updated Acer Aspire 5 Slim from Acer includes an 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8265U Processor (CPU), 8GB DDR4 RAM and a 256GB Solid State Drive (SSD). This is more than enough to handle a high quality Minecraft experience. The 15.6-inch display has 1080p resolution and plenty of ports for connecting accessories. If you just want to enjoy Minecraft, this is a solid and affordable laptop.

Dell Inspiron 3780

Dell in the middle price segment has chosen its own unique strategy. The stuffing of this laptop is pretty standard: an Intel Core i5 8265U, 8 GB of RAM and an AMD Radeon 520 graphics card that does not differ much from its competitors in terms of performance.

The main distinguishing feature of the model is a Full HD screen with a diagonal of as much as 17.3 inches! The matrix is ​​TFT IPS. Users note good color reproduction and large viewing angles: these characteristics make the gadget an excellent choice for working in graphic applications. In addition to its predisposition to design tasks, the gadget boasts a tandem of two drives: SSD + HDD. The speed of rotation of the hard drive heads, however, is only 5400 rpm. But on the other hand, an SSD connected via an M.2 interface more than compensates for the slowness of the hard drive.

But it wasn't without its downsides. Due to the large diagonal, the developers got large dimensions: 415x279x25. This is the heaviest representative on our list. Due to its immodest size, the laptop weighed 2.8 kg, which is also a record figure in the selection. In addition, it should be noted that the device comes pre-installed with the Linux operating system, which will make many refuse to purchase.
