It generally lasts about an hour before it shuts down.
I'm pretty sure minecraft alone shouldn't use 4GB of RAM.
Any tips on my video settings?
No. I'd suggest opening it up and give it a good vacuuming or blast with a can of compressed air. Also elevating the base off the table using one of those laptop stands from the pound shop helps keep the temp down a bit. The RAM is much less likely to be an issue than your GPU I'd say. My Lenovo T500 4GB 2.53 used to play MC just fine in earlier versions but now it's about 10 FPS on the small game window in 1.8 which is completely unplayable, but it's got an on board GPU which is the problem. 4GB RAM with a separate GPU of reasonable quality will work just fine.I'm pretty sure minecraft alone shouldn't use 4GB of RAM.

I've made a fast AFK squid farm in place of the old lake one in the desert behind spawn (bit further on from Wildcards' maze). Got the basic design from docm's recent video but made a few modifications. Ink sacs are needed to make grey and black dye for glass, hardened clay and wool so rather useful for aesthetic stuff.
In the space of 30 mins the farm produced enough ink sacs to fill up a double chest so it's pretty fast. Still got to polish it and do storage room but it's functional.

Looks really good, will have to come and have a look aroundIn the space of 30 mins the farm produced enough ink sacs to fill up a double chest so it's pretty fast. Still got to polish it and do storage room but it's functional.

I did have to google what that was..
I've finally had enough of the stupid hopper minecarts stopping at my mob farm drop floor and ripped the whole lot out in anger . I thought at first it was because there wasn't enough powered rail so made about 5000 gold rails and replaced it all which took forever, but then the stupid minecarts didn't stop over the hoppers to deposit the stuff, they just bounced off the wall and went back round again, so I removed some of the gold rail to bring their speed down a bit but now they've getting stuck again. WTF! Stupid fking game!
I've now made an old skool flowing water 'tray' under the spawn platforms which funnels them into a 3x2 chute and they die from fall damage. I've also put in a sign supported lava pool in the chute so those that spawn with feather falling boots also get killed. The good thing is that this setup doesn't need any hopper minecarts and I can use normal hoppers with droppers on a redstone clock ejecting into a packed ice water stream which transports the items to my storage. I was expecting the spawn speed to reduce by a lot as they have bob across the water tray which takes time and prevents new mobs from spawning til they die but it's actually still ridiculously fast.

Literally missed you by a minute yesterday Luke and I'd been on all day!

By the way, you do know that you're playing Minecraft and not Super Mario, yes?

@ Terry, I managed to get 9 skulls in the end . But I died about 10 times as one of the baby ZPM picked up my sword and kepy killing me with it. I've added some chests in the redstone cubbyhole but needs some slabs to make it spawn proof in there. The ZPM are quite slow to move so it's fairly easy to avoid the hoards but you really need fire resist and strength potions at the minimum if you want to survive.
