This Might in the wrong area.

All I wanted is to playing minecraft with no lag, but render distance short, i have found all sort of ways but still lag, Here is my laptop: Acer aspire 5536, so i can play with my friends with no lag
 
There is a piece of software you may be able to try. I can't recall the name but it basically stops many background processes to free up resources for the game.
 

Game Booster?

I have a feeling the systems due to its age and what seems to be onboard video are just not up to the task. Even with minecraft looking like a very basic game, it has lots of things to draw since a wall is not made of a simple mesh, but instead of MANY blocks.

This may not be the answer you want, but it is kind of like wanting to play <Insert favorite new console game here> on Nintendo 64, its just not going to happen.
 
Patch minecraft with optifine and it should run well. you will gain a fps boost of 10
 
Start>Control Panel>Java Icon> Java tab> Click on view> under parameters add xmx512m> save settings and then run minecraft <-- you can change the 512 to whatever memory you want to give to minecraft. i do 1024.
 
That is an artifact.

If no other games to it, make sure your drivers are up to date. If other games do it, you may have a video card problem(hardware issue).
