Minecraft (Java) and School recommendation?

[Korath]

Hey guys and gals.

My sister has asked me to find the nephew a laptop for Minecraft Java and school work, I haven't looked into laptops in a long time so looking for some recommendations

Budget between 400-500 and Minecraft recommended specs: https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Java_Edition_hardware_requirements

Cheers!

Most laptops with a Ryzen 3 or 5 will be great. I have a 14" Lenovo s340 with 3500u and 256gb ssd. They can be seen for 450ish comes with vega 8 igpu that will tear through Minecraft.
