Does minecraft run on my laptop and which version?

I'm considering buying Minecraft on my laptop (Huawei Matebook D14). First question, can I play Minecraft there smoothly? And second question, if so, which version Bedrock or Java?

Minecraft is so old that you can play it on your Nokia phone haha

He should manage with 8GB of memory in general a little bit. In case of doubt, first crack and see if it is running and then decide whether it would be worth buying. If you get mc then better java version

Minecraft Java 1.16 doesn't run everywhere on it. Minecraft already needs performance. Someone again who wants to know better. As the name suggests, the MateBook is a notebook.

Oh no. Ever heard of humor? I don't think anyone owns a first generation Mc Book or something like that and wants to play Minecraft on it

There are different MateBooks.

Java should run on all of them, but is only recommended on those with Ryzen 3rd Gen or Intel Core i7 10th Gen. The Bedrock should also run on all of them.

It would be best if you could give the exact technical data (CPU, graphics chip and RAM).

First of all, thank you for your answer, here are the data:

Amd Ryzen 5 3500U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx 2.10GHz

8GB Ram

The Java should run on it. In the 1.8.9 smoothly, in the 1.15.2 as well, in the 1.16.4 there could be small stutters (unfortunately this is the case with many). However, as a Java player, you will probably also get a Bedrock key soon as a result of the upcoming account migration.

Okay, should I buy the Java or the Bedrock Edition now? And is the demo version similar to one of the two? I'm playing at the moment and have a few lags every now and then, but otherwise it's fine.

I would play Java because the original game Bedrock is the pocket edition. It was made compatible, but still

The Bedrock version and Java version are not officially compatible.
A good point in itself.

Hardware technically can't help, but you better get Java. Even if the Bedrock would run more smoothly, Java is still the original, and there you get more multiplayer servers or mods to expand the game.

Bedrock is Minecraft PE for the computer and personally I don't know anyone who would even begin to play this version voluntarily. You can compare it to a console game: it's fixed, makes money through the marketplace and you can't modify the game (at least not easily)
