i run minecraft in my laptop with shaders and resource pack and full hd with no lag or anything so yes you can play in laptop if you have a good one
Any laptop with a late generation and high clocked core i3 processor should manage the vanilla game. Although at this point I'd recommend AMD Ryzen because the mobile variants are currently offering much better integrated graphics chipsets. Intel have always sucked with this for some reason, I know iGPU's are not meant for gaming, but they should still manage games like Minecraft at 60fps at minimum, if not a more demanding title like Witcher 3 or GTA 5. Basic computers can be used for gaming but in a limited sense and usually old ones or ones that don't recommend high performance video cards.
To me the only real difference between a laptop and a pc is form factor, but then plug in a mouse and you have what is essentially a desktop computer with a smaller screen.
yes laptops are typically lower powered per price to what a desktop is, but thats just the limitation for power usage on battery
They're not the best for gaming but they do offer one advantage desktops don't, it is they can be carried around a lot easier and have keyboard and mouse and monitor all in one. Although laptops nowadays most often come with trackpads which are known to be unsuitable for gaming and isn't anywhere near as good as a true laser based mouse and keyboard setup. Even something as simple as attempting to left or right click can fail to register properly on a trackpad and ends up being interpreted as a forward, sideway or backward motion due to the way some trackpads are built.
I've found with a mouse that uses a laser for detecting movement you have more control over the movements because it's easier to hold the mouse itself still while performing the right or left click or scroll action to attack or sort through inventory items in-game. I know this experience is very common, we don't see trackpads being praised by gamers, not many of them anyway. I'd sooner use an Xbox controller than one of those things.
It's not really hard unless you are using the trackpad (mine doesn't let me click unless I'm not pressing another key). I have a USB mouse that just makes life a whole lot easier.
If you have a old and slow laptop like mine, you can turn down the settings a bit. I personally have my render distance at 10 chunks and use "Far" on older versions (And Beta 1.7.3 and prior require me to put it on "Short" for some reason to get 40+ FPS, probably how it renders chunks)
This is a frequently asked question, so I should probably schedule an annual update. Joakim from Sweden has also asked for a Windows laptop to replace a “quite old” Dell Inspiron 1525 running Minecraft.[/p]
One of the nice things about Minecraft is that it’s written in Java, so it runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. There is a special version for Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation games consoles, plus Minecraft: Pocket Edition for smartphones, tablets and (free beta) Microsoft Windows 10. Minecraft is therefore available for a very wide range of systems, right down to the Raspberry Pi ... though it runs best on powerful desktop PCs with good graphics cards. (See: What’s the best type of machine for playing Minecraft?)[/p]
Unfortunately, while most devices can run Minecraft, it’s not easy to run Minecraft well. Java is slow, so Minecraft really needs a powerful processor and plenty of memory. Although the graphics are intentionally blocky, things like viewing distance, textures, lighting effects and “mods” add to the challenge. When the computer doesn’t have enough power, Minecraft runs at a low frame rate and can become “laggy”.[/p]
As a result, the real question is whether a PC will run Minecraft with an acceptable frame rate, given the screen resolution and graphical effects you want. A low-end laptop might run a bare-bones Minecraft with a screen resolution of 854 x 480 pixels at 10 frames per second, or less. A gaming laptop or desktop could run a fancy version at 1920 x 1080 pixels at 120fps or more. There are some benchmarks at the Minecraft Wiki.[/p]
In this case, we have a target. The Xbox 360 runs standard, single-player Minecraft in 1280 x 720 pixels at 60fps, which can drop to 30fps. A laptop that can’t provide 25-30fps at the same resolution is going to feel like a backward step. Of course, you need even more power to cope with better effects and mods.[/p]
What’s the spec?
If buying a laptop to run Minecraft well, I would aim for a recent Intel Core i5 processor with 4GB or preferably 8GB of memory and a dedicated Nvidia GeForce or AMD Radeon graphics card. A Core i7 should provide better performance, but perhaps not quite enough to justify the extra cost. A Core i3 will not perform as well as a Core i5, but should be more affordable.[/p]

‘I want to blow minds’: Kurt Vile on beating anxiety,hitting arenas and hungering for hits
Intel has just released Skylake, the sixth generation of Core iX processors, but the fifth-generation Broadwell versions are still worth buying, and fourth-gen Haswell chips may be worth a look. In other words, look for a Core i5-6xxx or Core i5-5xxx processor, if you can afford one, or get a Core i5-4xxx if it’s going cheap. However, avoid the ultra-low voltage Core M versions, including the new m5-6Y54 and m5-6Y57.
Intel has devoted most of its energy to reducing the power consumption of more recent chips, so they run cooler and fit into thinner laptops. As a result, newer chips may not always be much faster than older ones. However, Intel has also been improving its integrated graphics, and with Skylake’s Iris-branded graphics, there’s less reason to insist on a dedicated graphics card. From the specs, it looks as though Broadwell chips with Intel HD Graphics 5500 and, to a lesser extent, Haswell chips with HD 4600 graphics should be usable for Minecraft.[/p]
When you’ve come up with a shortlist of laptops, search for the processor numbers on Notebookcheck’s Comparison of Mobile Processors (CPU Benchmarks) to see where they come from. Higher is obviously better. Aim for the top 200.[/p]

The current HP Pavilion 15 looks like a decent entry-level system for running Minecraft on a 15.6 screen. It has a 2.5GHz dual-core Core i3-5157U processor with Iris Graphics 6100, 8GB of memory, a terabyte hard drive and Windows 10 for £379.99. The screen resolution is only 1366 x 768 pixels, but driving more pixels needs more power. (I’ve picked a red Pavilion 15 but other colours are available.) Basically, I have used mobile erp and related things and also use this HP Pavilion for development purposes.[/p]
There’s also a green “gaming” version of the HP Pavilion 15 with a very fast 2.3GHz quad-core Core i5-6300HQ and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 950M graphics card with its own 4GB of memory. It also has a Full HD (high definition) screen showing 1920 x 1080 pixels, but the price jumps to £699.95.[/p]

Something like the Asus X555LA might be a reasonable compromise. This model has a 2.4GHz dual-core Core i7-5500U with integrated HD Graphics 5500 and 8GB of memory for £499.95. There’s also a slightly older version (May 2015) that comes with Windows 8. This older Asus X555LA has 4GB of memory and a dual-core Core i3-5005U for £320, or a faster dual-core i5-5200U for £399.97. Both these processors have integrated HD 5500 graphics.[/p]
Removing a panel on the X555LA’s base reveals a single slot where you can add more RAM. You can also swap the hard drive for an SSD if you are brave enough to take the back off.[/p]
As is usual with Taiwanese suppliers, there are loads of Asus X555 Series laptops with minor variations at a confusing array of prices. However, it’s worth the hunt, because some of them have GeForce graphics cards, which are otherwise hard to find in budget laptops.[/p]
For Minecraft, I’d avoid anything with an Atom-based Silvermont processor, though the latest Cherry Trail versions – such as the x5-Z8500 in the Asus T100HA – have noticeably better gaming graphics.[/p]
Just add this ...
Personally, I’d want to play Minecraft with an external mouse and perhaps an external keyboard as well. You can plug accessories into laptop USB ports and raise the screen to a more ergonomic height.[/p]
Console gamers may prefer to use an Xbox 360 controller, and there are several ways of remapping the keyboard and mouse keys to use a controller with a laptop. Examples include Minecontrol and Keysticks.[/p]

I think innovations in integrated graphics is important because it reduces the carbon footprint computers have, they may not perform as well as a dedicated chip released on the same year or even 5 years ago. But the fact remains there are more advantages to iGPU's than just the low cost.
The low energy requirements also makes computers with these an excellent option for people who want the most battery life out of their laptops.
It's the reason why I've recommended to people computers with the AMD Vega 6 and 8 chipsets, which are still plenty powerful for the latest version of Minecraft in either bedrock edition or Java and will run the game at 60 frames per second so long as the render distance setting is conservative enough. Obviously it would run bedrock edition at a better render distance setting, but it's still the player's choice in whether or not they want to play either.
Yes, it's kinda hard, but don't forget that Laptops can become hot very fast. Laptops are not made for gaming, or if they are made for gaming, they will become hot again. So I think you need to buy a Computer, even if it's very old it can run Minecraft again on 2 chunks .
It depends on the power of the laptop. If it has a dedicated graphics card, its a good start. Mine has a Nvidia card and an i7 processor, and runs it quite well.
I would most definitely suggest getting a real mouse though, as the pad is awful for gaming.

Agreed, I'd never use a trackpad for Minecraft even on my laptop. I just plug in an Xbox controller as even that is a much better alternative to the trackpad which were never designed for gaming. Laser point mouse is best for most PC games, it doesn't matter whether it's connected to USB 2.0 or USB 3.0, it'll work the same. USB 3.0 was intended for things that need more bandwidth or more power than the 500ma 5 volts provided on USB 2.0 standard.

Any laptop with a late generation and high clocked core i3 processor should manage the vanilla game.

Not gonna lie. With trackpad is a pain.
Easily fixed, laptops have USB ports, todays mice use USB and they're cheap, same thing with matts.
The problem with laptops usually comes from their low performance per dollar/pound. Even compared to a game console
they can be sucky.
I have never had an issue with Minecraft on either laptop I've used, both Inspiron 5500 series Dells on AMD graphics.
That said, any game of graphic quality Half Life 2 or greater will crash after some time, but this may be a personal GPU issue.
