Runescape: Can the AO722 handle my son's gaming? What can I do to this system to make it compatible with what gaming requires?

Well first off have you tried running Runescape? I'm sure it will handle runescape being such an old OLD game that it is.

my son has had no problems with this laptop. He is a heavy gamer and does digital design. He picked it out for Christmas because no one else could ever please him to pick out a computer for him. He uses it for autocadd too.

I'm not sure, check the specifications of the game and compare them with the laptop.

I'm not a gamer so I can't respond to that ... I'm using the computer for real time navigation and it fits my needs. You have a choice of processors, memory capacity, and Hard drive (I used a SSD 150 GB, 8 GB ram, and i3 processor OS Win 7 ... conservative but I want a stable platform)

Possibly on the highest graphics settings, or one level below. I've run Elder Scrolls Online on the highest settings, Guild Wars 2, Counter-Strike Global Offensive, Aion, Rift, Borderlands, etc., and had no problems. It's a great gaming computer for the price, and I would buy the same machine in a heartbeat, without hesitation.

If he has been around any type of video games i.e. DS etc... It is just like an android phone without the phone feature. If he has played games on a cell phone then he should be fine. I wanted to keep all of electronics on the same platform is why I choose this for my son. It is a little slow on the boot up. But you have access to both Google Play and Amazon apps which gives you a lot more choices. The other thing is is that I get a weekly report of usage and downloads via email. Hope this helps.

I only have one game loaded on mine - we are older - 67 yrs. So games are not our forte, but the one we do play runs just fine. Sorry I was not of any more help than that.

As a matter of fact, I do. I've been playing an MMO as well was a few emulator and Minecraft games and it works extremely well. It's got a lot of graphic options for the graphic card it comes with so I'm able to adjust accordingly, though the default setting work perfectly fine for me. It runs very smoothly and I don't seem to have any latency or lag (except you know the occasional internet hiccup).

Possibly, the one I bought had ubuntu on it but it will run windows 7 decently I would check to see what year the game was released if it was near 2007 you should be ok.

In my experience with this computer, I will say no. It could not run Dragon Age on medium or even low settings, and Minecraft wouldn't even run. I know there is a difference between Java Run games and games that run from your graphics card, however in both cases, the processor in this computer was too weak to run either. If you can get one these with an upgraded processor for a cheap price you may be able to with more success. It's been two years since I wrote this review and the technology has grown exponentially. Just double check any graphics and processor specs before ordering, and if you do choose to order this computer, double check the specs when it arrives. I was promised a 3.2 GHz processor and was sent a computer with 1.9 GHz.

Yeah it's from the website but it is not the most recent model available there.it is built specifically to play pc games. I use steam and origin to download a lot of games, you can get decent quality graphics without lag.

I don't know, but usually a game of this type explains the minimum system requirement for use. If anything it might work better for you than for me.

James, if you are not running any mmorpg games, go with the bare minimum. I built mine with a 3.2 ghz dual core Pentium, 6 gig ddr RAM, 500 Gb hd, and NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT video.

My son uses it for online gaming competitions! He loves it and plays so much better than before. He said if anything would ever happen to it, he would def. Get another exactly like it.

This model does allow games, but those like sims 3, minecraft, etc. will not play and there is no way to upgrade the hardware unless you buy a new motherboard

I have this computer and it can pretty much play anything you want, I haven't found a game yet that it can't run smoothly, hope this helps.
