Hi guys fairly new to the forums here,
Just wondering if the laptop I just purchased can run minecraft. This is really the only game I'm going to be playing on it.
Laptop specs:
-Intel i5 dual core processor clocked at 1.7 ghz but can go up to 2.7 with turbo boost
-GeForce GT 840m (2gb dedicated memory)
-750gb hdd
-1920 x 1080 screen resolution
-8gb of ram
-Windows 8.1 64 bit
I am well aware that the graphics card can handle minecraft, but what I am truly worried about is the processor. Will 1.7 ghz be enough? Also, will the graphics card be able to handle the 1920 x 1080 display?

If you want to further inspect the laptop, you can find it on newegg. It's the ASUS X550LNV-NB51.
