Not very well, at least from comparing the specs to the system requirements; it is slightly above the minimum requirements in overall performance but only has 2 cores/threads and has a lower single-threaded and "cross-platform" rating (you want at least a quad-core/4 thread processor with good single-thread performance; I assume you want to play the latest versions):
Also, you need to take the GPU into account; it is best to have a dedicated GPU as otherwise they will have to share resources and integrated GPUs do not generally perform as well and as a result they are excluded from the recommended requirements.
Keep in mind that the system requirements have gone up a lot over the years so I'd aim for at least the recommended, preferably higher, and even then I've seem people with top-end hardware have performance issues at reasonable settings (at one time the recommended requirements called for a CPU and GPU from the early-mid 2000s which would be all but hopeless at running the latest versions; just one version later the previous recommended was now the minimum, and again a few versions later). They do not specify what sort of performance you shoudl be getting either (presumably, they assume the default settings; Fancy, 12 chunk render distance, etc, which should ideally be able to maintain FPS at Vsync at all times).

I wouldn't say top end hardware is required for this game in its most basic form, although I do agree with going above the system requirements to take updates into account, both for the operating system and the game itself as generally software needs more resources to run incrementally when updated, because something has been added that wasn't there before but now is needing its own share of memory and CPU to run.
Any computer that has an AMD Ryzen 3600 6 core 12 threaded CPU, 8gb of DDR4 and an Nvidia RTX 2060 is all that would be required to run the bedrock edition of this game with ray tracing at 1080p resolution, provided the other components were of high quality and the user took care not to damage the computer or let it become infected with malware. But to maintain good frame rates in the long term? I'd recommend the RTX 2070 just to be on the safe side or wait for the RTX 3060ti which is probably the better decision. Without ray tracing or mods you can get away with much lower end GPU's, even some integrated ones.
It's safe to say Java version wouldn't have any issues running on a computer this powerful.
However the computer that silvergrapes cited is not going to be good enough by the looks of things.
I'd suggest this computer in one of the links below, which will meet the recommended system requirements.
Yes the Lenovo laptop has an integrated GPU, but don't forget this is using DDR4 memory which is fast,
not as fast as the memory in dedicated video cards of course, but it'll work and it will fit this purpose.
The system specs of this laptop are:
AMD Ryzen 3500U CPU 4 cores 8 threads at 2.1ghz
AMD Vega 8 graphics
8gb DDR4
256gb SSD
Windows 10
14 inch 1920 x 1080 display resolution
The Vega 8 exceeds the 940mx GPU
and the recommended system requirements of Minecraft Java only state you need a GPU from the Nvidia 700 line or above,
they do exclude integrated chipsets, however it is still important to consider the performance rating in benchmarks.
Cost 421.53 USD excluding delivery.
There are cheaper laptops, but you get what you pay for
and there won't be a good gaming experience in Minecraft on laptops with weaker specs than this.
You can get a laptop that is at the minimum system requirements but acceptable performance isn't guaranteed and it is always best to buy the best you can afford. The original poster has a choice here, silvergrapes could go with a cheaper laptop however I advise considering saving up for this laptop.
Hi, Im looking for a new laptop which will run Minecraft Java.
However, i do not have a large budget, ive seen a laptop with a AMD 3020 e processor,
will this run minecraft?

TheMasterCaver's First World - possibly the most caved-out world in Minecraft history - includes world download.
TheMasterCaver's World - my own version of Minecraft largely based on my views of how the game should have evolved since 1.6.4.
Why do I still play in 1.6.4?

Use Optifine, and you might get away with a cheaper computer
I run a dedicated server called Impact SMP, a little of Scicraft and Hermitcraft
Server Discord Link
i have the exact same processor and with optifine on the latest version i get 20-50 fps...
your bloody phone would probably run the game faster
tell me your budget and the country it has to ship to, I'll probably find you a better deal
