    Sure, at 1024x768 and lowest settings.

    Is your budget that low?

    It's going to struggle mightily with D3. At least spring for a 3rd gen Core i CPU so you can get the HD4000.

    I actually just wanted to buy a laptop that could run minecraft with no lag. So this laptop is good enough to play minecraft with no lag?

    Don't bump

    You can play minecraft with medium-low settings assuming you have Optifine installed

    You can probably play D3 with no lag. With 1280x720 widescreen, texture quality high, shadow off, physics low, clutter off, and low FX checked it works flawlessly on my $300 Lenovo B950. And it doesn't look terrible.
