Is this okay for pretty light gaming?? Like 8 to 6 hours of gaming everyday?

Yes, it would be great for gaming with an additional good graphics card. EVGA makes some really nice ones for not much money.

Well, I am a gamer myself and this isn't the best one for it. I can play minecraft on it with about 15 fps. So this may not be the one. But a Asus K55N can run most shooters, MMOs, and other with medium graphics at the minnimum

It will handle light online games but I wouldn't try anything that is very graphics intensive like Halo.It is great for all the light tasks you mention above. The keyboard is full size so it's a good standard keyboard for kids learning how to type.

Most games rely mainly on processor power and seeing that this laptop has an AMD 2.7 GHz it should run most modern games at high (maybe not extreme) settings. Not to mention the turbo boost which activates automatically when needed. 4 GB of ram is the average amount needed to run most games today so it should be fine, however I personally recommend upgrading it to 8 GB when you get it. You can do this yourself or bring it to a computer shop.

Using it for class, I get 4-5 hours. (screen brightness down, speakers off ect. just taking notes) Using it for random stuff (flash games reddit ect.) 3.5-4, Gaming lasts for an unexpectedly long time depending on the game of course

I cant really say, I just use mine for light gaming. As a matter of fact I just ordered a GTX 760 as an upgrade today. (its been a nice card for the price though)

This isn't the greatest choice to game on. Its a decent mouse for a laptop I still use it on my other laptop. A better choice would be E-Blue Mazer II 2500 DPI Wireless Gaming Mouse (EMS601BKAA-NF) . But don't get me wrong its a good mouse if your on a budget.

It is a smooth running laptop but as for its gaming performance I can't comment. It's not really designed for it. I use it for work and casual web surfing

I definitely would not recommend for gaming. I use it on my desktop at work. It is fine for that, but it does pause quite a bit at times.

I play video games.. so far so good with this. Of course you cant expect the highest setting for high-spec game such as Assassin's Creed : Unity, as it just provide about 20 fps. I think its a good for a budget pc setup :)

I have 16GB @ 1600mhz and it runs very well. actually 8GB should be enough for gaming.

Replace the hdd with an ssd and it will be more than adequate for gaming on medium to low settings. I suggest only gaming while plugged into an outlet though as power draw will be high during gaming.

I'm not a gamer nor am I a PC expert by any means but I don't think this laptop is something I would consider a "gaming" PC. My opinion is that it's for everyday use for activities like personal finance, MS Office, internet browsing and jus general use. I'm sure it can run games but not games requiring high graphics capabilities etc.

Not at the moment, maybe I don't turn it on for long time usage, as each session on lasts about half an hour. Also, no heavy gaming so far.

I am not a gamer, but it is good for heavy graphics work, so it should work for that. Sorry, I really don't know the answer. I have been very satisfied with the product though.

No and no! This is definitely not a gaming laptop, it couldn't handle it. It's more of an everyday task type of computer. Mine is still doing great after a year!
