Yes, you can play Minecraft Pocket Edition on a laptop but you will need an emulator or an Android app player software installed on your laptop to run it as it is a mobile game. One of the most popular Android app players is Bluestacks, which is free and easy to use. Once you have downloaded and installed Bluestacks, you can then download Minecraft apk Pocket Edition from the Google Play Store within Bluestacks and then start playing it on your laptop. Keep in mind that the laptop needs to meet the minimum requirements to run the Android emulator smoothly.
