Is this laptop good for playing basic games? (Nothing too intensive like Skyrim mostly just steam games) and do functions like Skype, Netflix, and YouTube function well?

I don't play games but it is supposed to be average on game performance. With quad core processor, 6G RAM and a fairly good video processor you should be OK. I use for Netflix and Youtube and the download and video performance is great. No problems whatsoever.

Absolutely. It really is a great deal. Nice and speedy with the quad-core processing; big screen with brilliant display, and the dts sound is amazing. You can't go wrong for the price.

Not sure what you mean by basic games, however anything I have ever downloaded from Google apps works just fine. That include Skype, Netflix, and Amazon digital. I highly recommend it.

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.

Not at all.This is a terrible computer.I bought it upgraded the ram and hard drive and it barely ran.Heated super fast and could not run any game I threw at it.Buy a PC laptop if you're looking for a gaming laptop.

The games a little kid would play should probably run fine on this. Flash games that you find on websites should also have no trouble. However, if they require a CD or DVD for installation, then you might have trouble since these laptops all lack those optical drives. Dont expect to play any "serious" games on it, though (the kind an older kid would want).

The laptop works pretty good for multimedia! for gaming its ok but it could be better! I haven't installed any of the good games yet, however I try regular games and like I said is ok. I think the RAM can be upgrade!

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

No, I wouldn't recommend it for gaming. It is best used as a family low graphics laptop.

Yes. Skyrim should work well on this laptop. I currently play World of Warcraft and haven't had any issues. The requirements don't differ much.

Not gooood per se, but it plays some basic things pretty well. I played Portal, Mount and Blade Warband, Faster Than Light, Cavestory and vanilla Minecraft (esp. windows 10 edition) all without a hitch.

I haven't tried these games specifically, but due to the 3D accelleratipon being handled by the Intel Haswell processor I would expect them to run good enough on the the low to medium detail settings, but 4xAA is out of the question. This is not a gaming laptop, but it will run most games. If you connect to an external 1080P monitor or TV, then I would recommend dropping to low detail on modern, 3D-heavy games. Intel may think they have Nvidia in their grasp with the Haswell processor, but that is all marketing hype. As a working laptop (school, internet, programming, office productivity, etc..) this thing has plenty of resources available to it.

I am sorry to tell you this but this laptop is certainly not for gaming. If you want to play games like Call of Duty Ghosts etc, you are going to have to pay at least triple the cost of this laptop. with a 1.86 GHz processor, you are getting netbook-like performance. (not good for gaming). If you want a laptop that can play Call of Duty Ghosts, I would recommend this one: ASUS ROG G750JW 17-Inch Gaming Laptop [OLD VERSION]

It can play Skyrim on ULTRA settings, Left 4 Dead 2, quite a few others. No issues with gaming.

I don't recommend buying it for gaming and streaming. It doesn't have Office.for heavy duty operations, get Asus laptop

I have not used it for gaming at all but it is a bit slower than my regular laptop. It would probably need a fast internet connection to be good for gaming. Plus, the screen being so small might also make gaming difficult. Hope that helps!

Not what sure what you are asking about. This is a basic lightweight laptop that does not support Windows. It is good for E-mails, web searching and web purchases There are many games on it but I have only tried a few. It has been crashing on me a lot lately and I have had to reset it. I bought it a year or so ago with and purchased an extended warranty which I may use before it expires in Dec. rather than trying to fix it or have it sent back to be fixed.

No this is very basic computer, a very good model but graphics, processing and memory are no where near what you would need for gaming. this model is good for getting online, watching shows online and storage of pictures and documents, and some basic computing programs. search for gaming models.

I can't honestly say, it is fine for Internet and watching videos, but whether it's fast enough for Any serious gaming? I have no idea. Probably a stretch. It is obviously more powerful than any Windows 8 tablet but this is far from a desktop replacement. I really like it so far for surfing the net. The touch screen works well and screen resolution is fine for average users. But this is basically an entry level Lenovo after all.
