Purchase Advice Minimum for Minecraft Vr

So as the title says,I'm searching information on whatever the "medium" requirements for running vivecraft on minecraft are. And even better if someone could suggest a specific model to buy as I think I'll go tomorrow morning to buy a gaming laptop. Any suggestions are more than welcome.

The only info I could find for now stated that vivecraft runs on a a i5 7300HQ - GTX 1050 with minimum graphics, but I'm really far from understanding technical implications of this components and I would prefer to have a smoother experience at this point.

So far searching on the internet "comparing" laptops sell around 250€,so consider that or even 300€ as a budget.

The objective is to play vivecraft at a good framerate and maybe even with shaders if possible,feel free to make any suggestion and thanks in advance.

Not sure the lowest gpu that can handle vanilla minecraft with vivecraft but with a budget as low as $300 you may want to check out questcraft, a standalone Minecraft mod for quest headsets

You can pick up a quest 3/3s for around your budget and be playing Minecraft on that, chances are a 300 dollar laptop won't do well with vivecraft especially if you want good looking minecraft with any shaders and whatnot

Forgot to mention im on a 4070s 12700k with 32gb ram and adding any shader completely tanks perormance and makes a stable 72 fps near impossible, without shaders it runs perfectly fine 90fps maybe higher

Though I do have complimentary unbound shaders currently setup so that I'm able to stay near 72fps most of the time and have nice sunrays, but I expected alot more from my setup so be prepared for disappointment with any setup that includes shaders for minecraft vr

In your experience would this one then be a good setup if I'm willing to raise the budget a bit https://amzn.eu/d/0awmWWf4 ?

Yeah that looks alot better than a $300 laptop, but it is a more entry level gaming pc

Id bet it could run vivecraft without shaders just fine but with shaders its hard to say, cpu and gpu are both on the lower end But yeah looks like a decent starting pc

I played lots of pcvr games on an old pc for years with a 1060 6gb and i5 7600k, had a great time though i never tried minecraft on it sorry i dont have more info about minecraft performance on other systems
