What's the best laptop for a child ... who plays Minecraft?  Ed
wants a laptop for his eight-year-old son. The real problem is
that he plays Minecraft, and this requires something with better
graphics processing capabilities ... Minecraft is a Java
program, which enables it to run on different platforms. PR
It's been nearly two years since your "best laptop for a child"
article so I wondered what your current advice is? Our son is
autistic and struggles to write with a pen but has been quite
energised by learning to touch type. We have promised him a
laptop as a reward for completing the course but are not sure
which is best. He will use it primarily for school work but also
to play Minecraft, which is a bit of an obsession. I don't want
him complaining of 'lag' as this will cause him anxiety. We were
looking mainly at netbook-size machines as he is eight, but I
looked at your recommended Asus 200E and the screen seems too
small, so now we're looking at the Samsung Activbook 9, Acer
Aspire S7 and Lenovo U330
