That really depends on your internet connection.

To be honest, minecraft runs on pretty much anything. Just look for one that you like and doesn't get too hot.
I had a reasonably fast HP, but it got so hot I ended up trading it for a slightly slower Macbook.
i mean i know it'll run on pretty much anything but this macbook is getting kinda old and has a bunch of worthless files that are my family's on it that I CAN'T get rid of since they said and basically i play on "short" render settings on minecraft. i wanna be able to play on normal and maybe run optifine so i can even fine tune the render settings. i also want something other than a mac so downloads will be easier etc. and i figured it was mostly internet. recently it's been really slow but most of the time i don't have to wait a min for it to buffer in hd. anyways thanks for the suggestions and not being like "well i know it's a bit over your price range but it's worth it" and showing me a $460 computer that i don't want
