Well i borrowed this laptop from someone and it’s specs are:
CPU: i3-2330M (2C 4T @ 2.2GHz)
RAM: 2GB
GPU: HD 3000 (LOL)
Storage: 160GB 5400RPM HDD (very slow)
OS: Windows 7 32-bit (oh no)
It’ll be a pain to play on this laptop so stay tuned.
(btw this laptop can’t play HD video smoothly).
Screenshot of the computer specs:
My old 2010 laptop (NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M with Linux open-source drivers)
I managed to get 40-60fps at 1080p with it, even 80fps with sodium lol
Although, your laptop seems to be literally crap in comparison, so…
well that i7, even though it’s old and that microarchitecture is not very good but it can play minecraft fine because the 4 core with HT tech
and that gt 230m… well it’s better than gt 210
and just wondering, how much ram does this laptop have?
also i ran minecraft 1.16.5 with optifine on it
4GB, upgraded to 8 though.
Only 1 GB is allotted to Minecraft, but if the rest of the system doesn’t have enough memory like in your case, then performance will definitely suffer lol
well i can launch mc but i tried to join mythic, not singleplayer maybe i’ll try it tomorrow.
update: so i tried to play mc on my mum’s laptop and the specs are:
CPU: i3-3110M
RAM: 4GB
GPU: HD 4000
Storage: 240GB SSD
OS: Windows 7 32-bit
It worked! But the only caveat is when loading new chunks, it will stutter a lot, i also tried to join mythic but my internet is quite slow earlier so i can’t join it but
nevertheless it’s a smooth experience and i felt quite stocked when i saw an quite old home/business laptop can play mc.
btw here’s the evidence:
and also the screenshot of the computer specs:
NEW UPDATE:
That old Acer laptop is having a very weird issue, I don’t know what is the problem but it just shuts down after a few minutes after it boots to Windows and I knew it’s not a thermals issue.
(And that 5400RPM HDD…)
So i actually just tried to install mc on a linux desktop from 2008 with a pentium D and 2gig of ram but it doesnt seem to want to open the launcher xD

DON’T run mc on a pentium d, it’s hot and power hungry
New update: I reinstalled windows 7 32-bit to 64-bit and also upgraded the ram to 4GB it works flawlessly at 60 FPS but I cap the FPS to 30 because of thermal issues. But all in
