I want to buy Minecraft and my laptop meets all the requirements except for the CPU. I have one on 2.4GHz and the Minecraft websites say you need at least 3.2GHz. Now I wanted to know if I can still play it or do something about it?
Just try it out
If it doesn't work you need a new laptop
The problem is that I don't really want to buy another laptop at the moment and if I have already bought Minecraft and nothing works, it was in vain.
The clock speed of your CPU is not directly indicative of how good it is. You can also have a CPU with a high clock speed but poor efficiency.
Which CPU did you use? You can see this in the Task Manager, under Performance and then CPU.
I have 11th Gen Intel (R) Core (TM) i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz
You can test it for free: https://www.minecraft.net/...free-trial
So does MC not run at all, or is MC just lagging?
