I also noticed your comment about the lack of an FPS improvement despite your CPU upgrade. It is pretty rare to see a large FPS improvement when upgrading CPUs from the same generation. This is because you are running games on the built in IGPU which don't get much faster from I3 to I7 (at least in the same generation). Hopefully what I said makes sense I didn't proofread anything.
Also I would straight up not include the max FPS in your graphs as even you said it was completely irrelevant. Having an extra bar in the graph just makes it more cluttered and makes it harder for beginners to understand it.
I literally got a similar laptop for personal use, upgraded the ram and a fresh battery and ssd and its honestly pretty good for as much as i invested. Its suprisingly capable despite the age of the hardware
I had a friend who had a laptop from 2013 or before. Even though he didn't let me optimize it much, I managed to get it to run at a playable 30-35 fps.
Reminds me of the bad old days when I used to exclusively play the OG Skyblock in Beta on my Inspiron laptop because that was the only way I could play Minecraft at a decent 30-ish FPS. I got a job in 2013 and you can bet your ass I saved every penny to build a gaming PC.
@@EscHelper32112 It was pretty bad even for the time we're talking either a Core 2 Duo or maybe even single core Pentium and like 2GB of RAM.

@@NotroDan you should try a netbook with an intel atom see how much you can squeeze out of a really weak single/dual core from the late windows vista days
Are you genuinely serious rn? Are u just hating or asking a genuine question. Bc if that was a genuine question you are cooked bro. Obviously in order to make a 20$ laptop and gaming laptop u have to put upgrades in🤡💀
The thing to remember about linux, is that as far as I know(which I'm far from an expert on linux), it doesn't actually run programs faster or overclock the hardware by default, it only frees up the bloat that modern windows tends to be loaded down with, so it uses up less drive space, RAM, and cpu usage for the base OS. By all means if you installed enough background processes on linux it'd be just as loaded down as windows, but at the most basic level it's just far more minimal. With how you've already upgraded the RAM to 16 GB and have an SSD, the only savings might be background processes and services that eat up the cpu, which to be fair on windows can be substantial sometimes especially with only a dual core processor. I'm curious if it would at least run a little smoother with slightly more FPS, but I don't believe it'd be anywhere near as drastic as the hardware upgrades. At least it didn't seem to be a massive game-changing boost when I installed linux on a spare drive and booted my main desktop with it, which is a quad-core 16 GB system. I can absolutely see it making a much bigger difference the older/more-low-spec you go though. It'd probably make a bigger difference with 4 GB of ram than at 16 GB, or say a single core vs a 4/8 core. Basically it's like the difference between running with a 10 pound backpack on vs without, your legs aren't any more powerful, you just have less weighing you down, and that 10 pounds of savings would be a much bigger deal on somebody out of shape vs a trained athlete.
You should consider changing the OS to Windows-X Lite & try to optimise the software. In the stock version, as there are 100+ processes you may face fluctuating issue in the latest version so definitely consider optimising the OS.
One more small improvement you can do is CPU undervolting, maybe even with minor overclock, depending on silicon quality. At least with Intel 8000 and 9000 series I had very good results for my laptop
So one of the things about Feather is that it's literally just running a stripped down version of Chrome - it uses the Chromium Embedded Framework, which is actually VERY resource intensive. I've also been told it uses CEF for things within the game itself as well for some reason. I advise AGAINST using clients like Feather or Lunar, because the benefits they have are FAR outweighed by the cons. I HIGHLY recommend using Prism Launcher on older machines like this one instead. I run it on my admittedly overkill machine, and the highest I've EVER seen was 120MB of RAM, and 2% CPU. I will admit to having never used Feather before but other CEF apps have used around 1GB-2GB of RAM each. Will you have to do some tweaking yourself? Yes, absolutely. But on lower end machines you'll be able to dedicate MORE performance to Minecraft, and knowing Java as a programming language it could USE that. Prism plus something like Fedora Linux and I'm willing to bet you could easily surpass 200-300FPS in 1.20.4 with Sodium
nah after the upgrade my mind was exploded. It was crazy that it was getting 500fps it was soo smooth. The price in all most have been at least 70-50 buck depending on how much you got them. Super cool though
Replaceable CPUs was a very common thing up until about a decade ago. I currently own five or six laptops with replaceable/upgradeable CPUs. 3:01 Obviously they’re very old and I’m pretty sure fifth gen intel killed off socketed laptop CPUs.

But, i have to be honest with you: to do all of this to play Minecraft only... is a little bit of a waste. There are so many good games that you could try in this setup and increase the content of your tests: Burnout Paradise, Batman Arkham Asylum and City, Fallout, Call of Duty World At War, Modern Warfare (2011), PES 2013, and even emulators like PCSX2, to give you some options.

guys dont just blindly open up your laptop and change parts. touch something metal first, to ground yourself and get rid of the electrostatic or your motherboard will fry. u wont notice it but its gone. i learned this the hard way.
Idk if this laptop has an ethernet port but you can get an external gpu housing and connect it where the wifi card is plugged in. I've seen some tech channels try those out in the past to varying degrees of success
90% of old laptops allow you to upgrade the proccessor. You can do it for 4th gen laptop cpu's 3rd, 2nd, 1st. I have no idea if you can upgrade 5th and 6th gen though.
Dad had an old acer Aspire desktop from 2011, 4 gbs of ddr3, intel celeron, not even i3. Got an i7 4790, and got 16 gbs of ddr3. Found little bro playing valorant at 30fps with horrible quality but was running smoothly after optimizations. Spent like 70 bucks totals on the upgrades on that old hardware.
I would love to see these optimizations on a decent pc, Limitations spark creativity, limited Creativity without limitations is more powerful than pure creativity
Would be interesting to see how this machine runs Bedrock, seeing as it is extremely optimised by default and provides much better performance as opposed to Java.
Can confirm upping RAM and an SSD make massive improvements in performance.... If you've actually got a computer where you can do that. Sadly a lot of manufacturers started soldering stuff straight to the board severely limiting any hardware upgrading, especially on cheap budget laptops like those super-cheap netbooks. I've heard there are perhaps some performance/cooling improvements to soldered components, but generally I feel like it's all about the money. Either to cheap out on manufacturing or to get people to pay a premium to have good specs from the beginning by removing the ability to buy cheap upgrades later, as if you have the option it's often cheaper/better to buy third party upgrades later after a few years than pay a premium when it's new. Also just the ability to be able to remove the drive and replace it is valuable in many situations like if the MB dies so you can still get your files. I got an old laptop when my uncle passed that was a very laggy pretty much unusable mess that took forever to boot, switched it to an SSD and BAM night and day improvement, I'd even call it rather snappy, threw in a RAM upgrade while I was at it, but I feel the vast majority was just the hard drive was /sooo/ slow. Like I don't know if laptop 2.5 inch drives are just slower than the desktop 3.5 inch equivalents or if the advertised SSD cache on it wasn't working, but the benchmark showed the random access speed was literally only 1 percent of the sequential access speed, meaning it was probably taking forever to seek the right spot on the disk. Then I got another cheap netbook at the same time, and there's just no good way to upgrade it, the main drive is a soldered on 32 GB eMMC drive, there's only a single slot for RAM, which from my research is actually lucky as other versions of the same computer had the RAM soldered on. There's no place on the motherboard meant to install another drive, though apparently there's a janky way to jury-rig something including an adapter board to convert the slot for the wifi/bt board into an M.2 SSD slot, which then requires you to have a USB dongle for wifi/bt. Just not worth the time/money/effort IMO unless you literally have no other options for a computer. I mainly use it to try out linux with as the latest windows 10 just takes up the whole drive and barely boots, and there's a handful of things I was able to use it for, but mostly it just lies around collecting dust.
really good video, thanks for the info. i might actually have the same or similiar laptop laying around on the thought of the topic so yeha might do a diy project. great idea man appreciate the effort for the vid. :)
Extra steps: Use 1.19.2(best version for optimization) fabric with sodium + every optimization mod. Then use a Jvm like Java 21 oracle graalvm + Zgc and 12gb(Don't put all the ram, java likes overhead). Use liquid metal instead of thermal paste for better cooling. Extra extra steps: Modify the laptop case to have extra fans Change the battery/power supply to allow faster cpu options . Or just get a desktop at this point
Liquid metal is dangerous for laptops that do not have a cooling system designed for liquid metal. This usually leads to a short circuit, which can seriously damage the laptop. Since liquid metal leaks out over time from under cooling systems that were not designed for liquid metal.
you should probably record it with a camera as a recording software will destroy half of your fps. even on a budget gaming laptop rn, obs or recording softwares gives 30 fps on most games. without recording its ofc back to 60+
Dud I use to use feather Clint and it did fine But I just swapped to lunar Clint and now I get 100-150 more fps even with the Minecraft launcher I got more fps then feather. Btw this coming from some one who was trying to get other people to use feather.
Damn 97 FPS Only With Yhat Specs Thats Crazy My laptop is a lot low end i.e Specs For Nerds; Intel Core i5 3340M 2.70ghz 2 cores 4 logical Processes Intel HD Graphics 4000 4GB DDR3 1600mhz ram 256GB SSD (I guess No DRAM Cache)
Did you check to see if you’re using the highest mt speed ram that it supports because even a little bit more speed will definitely help improve less stuttering and better FPS
i think using mods on fabric like Sodium, Lithium, and Ferritecore would greatly increase the performance without having to put your render distance down so much
U can probably use the external graphic card thingy, where u can trick laptop that its using the same graphic card but its the different one, with this u can probably use 4090

Brother can you make a vid for all the good minecraft launchers which are good with fps( not minecraft clients ). Nice and entertaining vids btw keep it up
Upgrading the processor and ram in a laptop is just like getting a new laptop if u ask me....since theyre two part of the core that can make a computer run.its not the same laptop that u bought anymore essentially
Its no longer a $20 laptop anymore since you put a $30 cpu in it, $15 to $20 of ddr3 ram in it, and an ssd that probably cost $15 to $20 aswell. so its the original price of $20 plus $60 to $70 in parts which is $80 to $90 still pretty cheap but definitely not $20 anymore. Much better than most $90 laptops now anyways and definitely more than enough performance for minecraft and garry's mod. This would have been better if you had more cores since sodium uses multicore rendering to render chunks which is why you lag and stutter so much on 1.20. The cpu can't keep up with the amount of chunks you're rendering and keep a stable high fps at the same time so it dips your fps while loading chunks.
Bro just go and make the resolution 720p in settings by default its 1080p so it will thrice the fps I have an old Toshiba for testing with I3 4the and it got 200 peak fps on 8 render like tf

Wow this upgrade was equal to my old laptop which had 16gb ddr3 ram but it had an i7 4600u CPU which is similar to your upgraded one.
can i have it?
Finally the legend back❤😂
Edit:please come back soon again cuz I like ur videos soo much u make me soo happy😢
Took me a while but we got there in the end (:
@@NotroDanthanks my kitten for replying to my comment❤
90% of old laptops allow you to upgrade the proccessor. You can do it for 4th gen laptop cpu's 3rd, 2nd, 1st. I have no idea if you can upgrade 5th and 6th gen though.
But the problem is how much you invested in upgrading on that laptop???? Is it even worth it?????
Ey Notro, your English is perfectly understandable, the subtitles are kinda distracting to be honest.
I turned my laptop into a heater 70C+/158F+ while watching youtube
That's just buying a good pc
With extra steps...
0:35 hardware hardware hardware hardware hardware
Dad had an old acer Aspire desktop from 2011, 4 gbs of ddr3, intel celeron, not even i3.
Got an i7 4790, and got 16 gbs of ddr3.
Found little bro playing valorant at 30fps with horrible quality but was running smoothly after optimizations. Spent like 70 bucks totals on the upgrades on that old hardware.
I would love to see these optimizations on a decent pc,
Limitations spark creativity, limited Creativity without limitations is more powerful than pure creativity
One thing I'd recommend is trying to use an external gpu to try and get off of the integrated graphics
Would be interesting to see how this machine runs Bedrock, seeing as it is extremely optimised by default and provides much better performance as opposed to Java.
Can confirm upping RAM and an SSD make massive improvements in performance.... If you've actually got a computer where you can do that. Sadly a lot of manufacturers started soldering stuff straight to the board severely limiting any hardware upgrading, especially on cheap budget laptops like those super-cheap netbooks. I've heard there are perhaps some performance/cooling improvements to soldered components, but generally I feel like it's all about the money. Either to cheap out on manufacturing or to get people to pay a premium to have good specs from the beginning by removing the ability to buy cheap upgrades later, as if you have the option it's often cheaper/better to buy third party upgrades later after a few years than pay a premium when it's new. Also just the ability to be able to remove the drive and replace it is valuable in many situations like if the MB dies so you can still get your files.
I got an old laptop when my uncle passed that was a very laggy pretty much unusable mess that took forever to boot, switched it to an SSD and BAM night and day improvement, I'd even call it rather snappy, threw in a RAM upgrade while I was at it, but I feel the vast majority was just the hard drive was /sooo/ slow. Like I don't know if laptop 2.5 inch drives are just slower than the desktop 3.5 inch equivalents or if the advertised SSD cache on it wasn't working, but the benchmark showed the random access speed was literally only 1 percent of the sequential access speed, meaning it was probably taking forever to seek the right spot on the disk.
Then I got another cheap netbook at the same time, and there's just no good way to upgrade it, the main drive is a soldered on 32 GB eMMC drive, there's only a single slot for RAM, which from my research is actually lucky as other versions of the same computer had the RAM soldered on. There's no place on the motherboard meant to install another drive, though apparently there's a janky way to jury-rig something including an adapter board to convert the slot for the wifi/bt board into an M.2 SSD slot, which then requires you to have a USB dongle for wifi/bt. Just not worth the time/money/effort IMO unless you literally have no other options for a computer. I mainly use it to try out linux with as the latest windows 10 just takes up the whole drive and barely boots, and there's a handful of things I was able to use it for, but mostly it just lies around collecting dust.
can i have your old laptop?
Normal people: ohh i will watch this to make my laptop better Me: How The Hell You Turned A Laptop Into A PC
really good video, thanks for the info. i might actually have the same or similiar laptop laying around on the thought of the topic so yeha might do a diy project. great idea man appreciate the effort for the vid. :)
Go for it! There is a lot of potential in these old devices with a few upgrades :)
amazing video! I'd like to see tiny11 before linux since it is better and I am thinking of going tiny11 aswell
I've done a video comparing them all here: ruclips.net/video/2Ya18RAB9Z8/видео.htmlsi=FJIvzI5qardvqn-h
@@NotroDan alright, thanks!
Extra steps:
Use 1.19.2(best version for optimization) fabric with sodium + every optimization mod.
Then use a Jvm like Java 21 oracle graalvm + Zgc and 12gb(Don't put all the ram, java likes overhead).
Use liquid metal instead of thermal paste for better cooling.
Extra extra steps:
Modify the laptop case to have extra fans
Change the battery/power supply to allow faster cpu options
.
Or just get a desktop at this point
Liquid metal is dangerous for laptops that do not have a cooling system designed for liquid metal.
This usually leads to a short circuit, which can seriously damage the laptop. Since liquid metal leaks out over time from under cooling systems that were not designed for liquid metal.
Installing 700 mods in java: 🥺
Playing Bedrock: 🗿
Bro makes interesting content just for us and himself. Respect to NotroDan
I turned my $20 Laptop which is no longer $20 because i bought upgrades for it to make it into a gaming PC
With 20$ you can get a laptop without motherboard, hard drive and ram 😂
this inspired me to open my laptop up and do absolutely nothing.
you should probably record it with a camera as a recording software will destroy half of your fps. even on a budget gaming laptop rn, obs or recording softwares gives 30 fps on most games. without recording its ofc back to 60+
Dud I use to use feather Clint and it did fine But I just swapped to lunar Clint and now I get 100-150 more fps even with the Minecraft launcher I got more fps then feather. Btw this coming from some one who was trying to get other people to use feather.
Bro my brand new upgraded HP pavillion runs minecraft on 3-7 fps yours is so good
Damn 97 FPS Only With Yhat Specs Thats Crazy My laptop is a lot low end i.e
Specs For Nerds;
Intel Core i5 3340M 2.70ghz 2 cores 4 logical Processes
Intel HD Graphics 4000
4GB DDR3 1600mhz ram
256GB SSD (I guess No DRAM Cache)
my laptop 300$ but it sure feels like a 20$ pc
Did you check to see if you’re using the highest mt speed ram that it supports because even a little bit more speed will definitely help improve less stuttering and better FPS
i think using mods on fabric like Sodium, Lithium, and Ferritecore would greatly increase the performance without having to put your render distance down so much
My leptop with all the optimizes run at 120 fps thanks Notrodan i learned every optimize from you
U can probably use the external graphic card thingy, where u can trick laptop that its using the same graphic card but its the different one, with this u can probably use 4090
Does upgrading ur ram in a potato pc help alot?
Notrodan! I suggest upgrading the laptops panel to a better spec and add an external graphics card.
Did you know that a 2011 MacBook Pro can play Minecraft full render distance on 1.15 and newer
havent changed my old laptops cpu thermal paste in 11 years still runs smooth 45 fps newest java minecraft
Holy sheet , i just realised this is the laptop i use but without the upgrades 😢
I bet you changing the m.2 to a newer one would help with the loads
Nice vid! 👍 Also I liked the old editing style better no offence.
Could you give me an example of the old editing style? I appreciate the feedback
@@NotroDan The subtitles looked way more flashy and colorful with the outline and thick font. Plus on your other video there was way more zooming and movement which made it more interesting. Also there were way more transitions and visuals. This video's editing feels very bland and feels like a documentary.
Hey beat minecraft on that laptop and I'll subscribe
I will wait you to beat it!
Nevermind, but upgrade improves the fps. Without the upgrades main fps visible on this laptop . Also I have 18$ desktop 2gb ram gives total 500fps (highest) 256vram
Bro his laptop is like my pc just before he did any upgrades
Brother can you make a vid for all the good minecraft launchers which are good with fps( not minecraft clients ). Nice and entertaining vids btw keep it up
I have samsung laptop with intel pentinum b940 motherboard 300e4z how to know which cpu my laptop can support😢
Next add a dedicated graphics card.
Upgrading the processor and ram in a laptop is just like getting a new laptop if u ask me....since theyre two part of the core that can make a computer run.its not the same laptop that u bought anymore essentially
Its no longer a $20 laptop anymore since you put a $30 cpu in it, $15 to $20 of ddr3 ram in it, and an ssd that probably cost $15 to $20 aswell. so its the original price of $20 plus $60 to $70 in parts which is $80 to $90 still pretty cheap but definitely not $20 anymore. Much better than most $90 laptops now anyways and definitely more than enough performance for minecraft and garry's mod.
This would have been better if you had more cores since sodium uses multicore rendering to render chunks which is why you lag and stutter so much on 1.20. The cpu can't keep up with the amount of chunks you're rendering and keep a stable high fps at the same time so it dips your fps while loading chunks.
how to run minecraft on a bad computer:
dont install windows 8,8.1,10,11. Install windows 7 or Vista
Step two: struggle to install Minecraft on it because most launchers don't support that OS version
Try using a software to update drivers, aswell as a custom OS like atlasOS that is light modification, alongside trying to mess around in the bios
The person who sold him this laptop watching this video and him be like: Can I have to back?.. I changed my mind
Bro just go and make the resolution 720p in settings by default its 1080p so it will thrice the fps I have an old Toshiba for testing with I3 4the and it got 200 peak fps on 8 render like tf
A good way to get a potato pc to run well is by using Atlas OS
