Looking around and watching some videos on this laptop, the question is, can it run Minecraft (java)?
With "optifine" installed apparently it can, getting 30fps+. Optifine is pretty easy to get and is free.
Will do fine for a single player experience or with a few friends in multiplayer, but will struggle if playing online on big servers.
looking to buy this as a present? (and im not very technical) can this take discs?
should i upgrade to the microsoft for extra?

No dvd/cd player. An external usb player can bought dirt cheap these days.

Are these any good? Bought a cheap laptop a while back and it take about 10mins just to boot up. Then is really slow and always freezes if u ask too much of it.

What is your laptop,it could be hardware or software problem because that is not right with your startup and usage problems. But for general internet use and the screen size is good for then this would be ok.

It's fine for basic tasks, what makes this faster than your old laptop will be the eMMC disk (e.g. not mechanical) and the lower latency that provides is normally enough to make it feel snappy. On a limited budget this is a great purchase.
It would be good if everyone stopped spreading rubbish about this being a 'tablet processor', it's a quad-core Bay Trail, you find it in a lot of tablets but it is actually just a budget Atom processor, the same silicon you find in a Celeron or Pentium and plenty fast enough for the basics like web browsing and simple productivity - it's not like it was with netbooks back in the day, things have come on a long way.
