Not sure. Probably yes, but most likely decent means different things to me than it does to you. It seems to me that better options are available for gaming at this price point. I'm not a gamer, only a guess. YMMV

Relatively thin when compared to most laptops today and the same thing for the weight. Gaming for Minecraft will be okay on Moderate settings but games like Crysis 3 and Battlefield will struggle.

I neve did any gaming on mine, but I watched a substantial amount of movies on it and never had any processing troubles, so I would imagine that some light gaming would be alright. And I believe, at least mine did, came with windows 8 already installed.

I would say low end gaming. I'm using it on a work computer to speed up a 3d mapping software. The only game I have run on that pc is Minecraft with some of the up end mods on it.

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

For app gaming yes, for hardcore gaming like battlefield I wouldnt recommend because of the limitations of the CPU.

This laptop is certainly not intended for gaming although gaming is still possible. Experience may vary from one title to the next although in most situations it won't be sufficient enough. To answer your question, no it wouldn't be a good gaming computer though for everything else it should suffice.

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

Yes, it'll play any source games like CSGO and TF2 perfectly fine, even at high graphics. You'll get around 200-300 fps in quiet areas if not much is going on, and maybe you'll get around 30 fps if you happen to find yourself in an area with like 12 people all running around spamming grenades and other explosives.

I play world of Warcraft on it, works good but not as good as my Alienware.

Yes, it will run, but don't push the settings. If you're into heavy gaming, your system may become unstable.

I think this laptop is designed for playing games and watching movies or sth, so it is good for games, but not the biggest ones which need very high hardware configuration. For normal work, I think it is suitable too.

it depends of what kind of gaming. If is not an advanced game, it will work, but not for those "heavy" games.

No. It's quite zippy. It should be fast enough for anything except very graphics-heavy games.

yes this laptop is very good for gaming it is a strong and fast machine you would have get a gaming laptop for a lot more money to beat it

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