looks like a price match of the Very 100s

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.

A video i found demonstrating Minecraft gameplay on this laptop - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0mKEQAnqSA

looking to buy this as a present? (and im not very technical) can this take discs?
should i upgrade to the microsoft for extra?

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.

the one on Very says 32gb SSD. are they definitely the same?

Also have a look on youtube......lots of vids for this model

​ok thank you

Wish I'd snapped up Tesco's £99 Acer with a year's Office365...

£109 at Argos if others have vouchers they want to use, etc

And £109 at PC World.

How much of the 32gb is left after the machine has updated, etc ? I have read its very low,

This laptop is also available from John Lewis for £99.95 with a 2 year warranty

As I mentioned in the Very thread on this laptop, this machine has a slow tablet processor.

i managed to get a silver before oos.

bought a blue and red for gifting purposes

Would office work good on these? I'm after something got my Mrs to do her college work

just commented on this on another thread... I would stear clear of it and look out for the celeron driven 14" edition.

I tried this out in JL - slow as hell even after rebooting. Delay and stutters between keystrokes. It can barely manage 3 open tabs in chrome without grinding to a halt. Not suited at all to Win10. Even at £100 I couldn't recommend it. The 14" in this Lenovo series however is a different proposition; very much better balance with a celeron class processor. Highly recommend the larger sibling. Still light and very portable, clean design and serviceable matte screen - and it works. It was £179 in store a few weeks ago, haven't checked back recently.

Edit: Here's the link, still holding at £179 but worth it if you need something as light as an ultrabook, reasonable battery life for not too demanding tasks, it's a keenly priced package. That said it was down to £129 over a month ago at Currys so worth looking around.

​completely disagree. been using this as my main laptop the last 18 months. not gonna play the latest games but find it super quick for general browsing, office work and plays kodi in HD etc without any issues

Windows 10 on a 32gb hard drive is a joke. Such a joke, if you just want a little internet laptop, get a chromebook, they're miles better. MILES.

i used one on holiday for streaming football,hdmi output to tv and for surfing on chrome and ie, worked fine.

then again i remove all the clutter and use ccleaner to remove the junk.

its a perfect facebook computer and more.

The eMMC will make it more responsive in opening programs as compared to a hard disk, however, it is still a tablet processor from late 2014 (I think they reflected this in the 'Ideapad' part of the machine's title). The memory is not upgradable as the processor can only access 2GB of memory.

A modern frugal laptop processor is more than 4 times faster:
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Atom+Z3735F+%40+1.33GHz (909 for the z3735f)
versus
http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i3-6100U+%40+2.30GHz (3920 for the £100 i3-6100U chip)
Though at this budget, a modern frugal processor would eat up all your money (for more power, try refurbished or increase your budget).

The processor's main feature of low power consumption is shown in that it only uses up to 2.2W of power (including power for graphics):
http://ark.intel.com/products/80274/Intel-Atom-Processor-Z3735F-2M-Cache-up-to-1_83-GHz
Compared to up to 15W for the low-power i3 (frugal laptop processor) :
https://ark.intel.com/products/88180/Intel-Core-i3-6100U-Processor-3M-Cache-2_30-GHz
And up to 51W for a regular i3 (a laptop processor):
http://ark.intel.com/products/90729/Intel-Core-i3-6100-Processor-3M-Cache-3_70-GHz
The limited power available will be reflected in game and in-application performance.

Why are you comparing it to an i3? They're not in the same league for price or expected use. The Celeron N2xxx series is closer:
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Celeron+N2840+%40+2.16GHz

And a synthetic benchmark is a total waste of time anyway. The main bottleneck in just about every machine is the IO subsystem and eMMC or SSD is going to feel faster than this i3 with a mechanical disk. This quad-core 'tablet processor' is fine, it's Bay Trail, it's plenty fast enough for basic tasks.

Alas, adding to basket now shows:
"We're sorry. The item Lenovo ideapad 100S 11.6-Inch Laptop Notebook (Silver) - (Intel Atom Z3735F, 2Gb RAM, 32Gb eMMC, WLAN, BT, Camera, Integrated Graphics, Windows 10 Home) is no longer available from the seller you selected."
