My kids just wanted to start playing Minecraft so we installed it and it runs so slow it is basically unplayable, even when I tuned down the settings.
So, how this thing can advertise as a "Minecraft" laptop is just ridiculous. It seems it is just branding, but don't expect to actually be able to play Minecraft on it.
These were barely powerful enough to get them through early grades during COVID at home. Basic web browsing at best.

I've run Minecraft Bedrock on much older Atom processors (z8750) and it works well enough at 720p. This will run it just fine.
EDIT: Ok maybe the z8750 isn't older than the N3450...

I'm honestly shocked that this thread has remained so quiet given that the sub $200 Windows space is almost universally a source of excitement for Slickdeals despite the aforementioned issues. However, I realize that this is the first post for the user (vs. a paid advertisement).
Good luck!

I'm sure it runs faster than the Java, but all my point still stand.
If the Java version can run on my laptop at what is maybe 5-10 fps, that gives you a pretty good idea of what this lesser laptop offers.
I mean look, for $130 it is a decent deal if you need really basic browsing. But for most people, something like this is going to be discarded due to frustration.
Note that:
1. This does not support Windows 11.
2. This will run like absolute garbage unless you put in some major work after receiving it. You will need to upgrade Windows 10 S to the full version, then do a complete reinstall of Windows 10 from a USB drive, then disable (a) indexing, (b) antivirus, and (c) updates. Probably the store as well.
If #2 sounds crazy and makes you uncomfortable, then this is not a laptop for you, I'm afraid. You will need to shell out the dough for more capable hardware.
