Hi,
My laptop has:
8gb ram
AMD A4-300m apu.
It runs minecraft ok, but i'd like it to be smooth, what do you think is dragging it down and what are my upgrade options?
Your only option is to buy a new laptop. The only ways you could increase performance on Minecraft via hardware upgrades is to change the CPU and the GPU, and neither of those are viable options for a laptop unless you're willing to go through a long trek that involves soldering equipment.
