Will this laptop be good for playing Minecraft?

Hello,
We're looking to get a laptop for my nephew. He's going to use for school, games, and Minecraft. This is the one we're currently looking at http/www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009A8L0IE/ref=gno_cart_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER.

Screen Size 15.6 inches
Max Screen Resolution 1366 x 768 pixels
Processor 1.9 GHz A-Series Quad-Core A8-4500M
RAM 4 GB SDRAM
Hard Drive 500 GB SATA
Graphics Coprocessor AMD Radeon HD 7640G Graphics
Graphics Card Ram Size 512 MB
Wireless Type 802.11bgn
Number of USB 2.0 Ports 2
Number of USB 3.0 Ports 1
Average Battery Life (in hours) 5 hours

My main concern is if this laptop and graphics card will be good with Minecraft? We need to spend no more than $439.99 for the laptop. Yes, I know it's not much but if you think this will be fine or have any other laptops you'd recommend please advise. Thank you so much.

Dave

Yes, you should be able to play Minecraft with the Radeon 7640g graphics core. It is basically equal to the Intel HD 4400 for comparison purposes. Below is a link to Minecraft being played on a Sony laptop at 1920x1080 resolution using the intel HD 4400.
