is it good for gaming

Not at all. This laptop is more for surfing the net, spread sheets, word processing, ect. My grandson can play angry birds games, but it's not good for adult games with more involved graphics.

Honestly, I can say that it isn't spectacular for gaming. I tried to play the new Far Cry on it and it was lagging so bad that I couldn't play it. It can play games like Skyrim and Fallout. But then again those games aren't that new.

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.

I think they are saying its good for gaming. I remember reading that somewhere.

yes, you can use it for gaming as well. The graphics card will suffer only a slight degradation of performance from the use of the 1x slot.

It has the power to run the games fine and on high graphics settings. But if you're intending to use it for long periods of time, 3-4 hours settings, I'd go for something else. The problem I've been having with this model is the power port becomes overly heated and has become disconnected from the motherboard. I've had to repair it twice.

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.

I don't use it for gaming, I use it mostly for photography, "Photoshop". It does not overheat for me.

its good enough to play up to date games with settings just below best graphics and perform without any lag. and you can always purchase a better graphics card in the future

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

In my opinion. It is not the best computer for gaming. All though it does work ok. My brother is a huge mine craft fan and he said that it was slightly slow. It still is good though. Alienware computers are expensive. But they are the best for gaming.

It is a nice laptop to be sure, but it is not a gaming rig. In my experience running games on laptops works best if they have dedicated graphics memory such as NVIDIA's GeForce series processors. The laptop you mentioned utilizes the Intel Haswell HD 5000 Series on-board graphics memory, which is good enough for almost any everyday task such as email, web videos and so on. If you are a serious gamer, then buying a laptop with dedicated (or separate) graphics card is a must.

For a non-gaming laptop, it actually games pretty well. I've played Civ5 and Guild Wars 2 on mine and it does fine. It gets a bit hot on the underside when you have been at it for a while but overall, pretty good laptop.

Yes. We actually bought it for our son who is a gamer, but its fast with good memory so it should be able to keep . He loves it.
