Can you play world of warcraft and sims 4 on this laptop efficiently?

I would not recommend you put anything on this Laptop that you wanted to keep. Please see my review (1 star because I couldn't put anything lower on it)

The answer before me is incorrect. WoW has been made to run on a wide variety of GPUs. WoW runs well on medium on my 2007 gateway which has nothing special and should run great on this laptop, if not at high definitely on medium. Now games like COD that are more graphics intense would not run well on this.

I can play Minecraft on this laptop without it lagging, only if I install the mod "optifine" and turn all the settings to the lowest quality. So, no not really.

I can not say, several years since I played some good games such as WoW and etc,. I do understand that this quad core is more of a mid performance, very fast. If you played WoW on a dual core, this quad core will move. Also it has Windows 8 which has several performance improvements over Windows 7, you will get a free upgrade if I am correct to Windows 8.1 in next 2 months. I have not overwhelmed this pc running video and spreadsheets at the same time; you may want to check with WoW website what their recommendation is for WoW MoP. I suspect that you will be covered with this GW ur12 model. Good luck and have a good day.

Absolutely not. If you want to run those sort of games then you will either need to build yourself a computer for about $800 (which includes peripherals and a monitor) or buy one of the $1000+ computers. If you were to get this computer, then you would need to immediately upgrade the graphics card. And if you upgrade the graphics card, then your computer will only be as fast as the slowest component which would be your processor. This processor is a quad core processor, but it is slow for its class.

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.

Could I play games such as NBA 2K14 or even games that require a good video card with this laptop?

Yes, but not at 100% graphics settings. I tried TF2 and it ran perfectly at 100% detail, but that's not a power-hungry game. I also tried GS Global Conflict, and it ran well at 75% settings. For more recent, powerful games, I'm assuming they'll run well at about 50%. That sounds bad, but the games are still great at 50%. I'd go with this, and when your budget allows, upgrade the GPU. For another comparison, I've done some video editing with this, and blows my 6GB dual-core laptop away. A 15-minute HD video takes more than 20-minutes to output on the laptop, and about 4 minutes with this PC. Not bad at all. Yes, but not at 100% graphics settings.

I am sure you probably can, but I would definitely recommend comparing the specs requirements of the game to the specs of the laptop.

I'm not 100% sure. I installed the sims 3 and worked for a little but it soon started to make the computer lag and crash. The video card was not up to par with the game requirements. You could compare the requirements for the sims 3 and your games to see what the requirements are.

I don't know about those 2 games, but I run World of Warcraft and Star Wars on Good settings and it's perfect - I love being able to see even grass moving and shadows I couldn't see before - not a bit of lag. Those 2 games are very graphic intensive and now with this PC I have not trouble at all. LOVE this computer!!

I've played League of Legends on it, doesn't lag. I haven't downloaded steam on it yet...But im pretty sure it can handle it..might lag a little I fyou want a gaming laptop, get a lenovo, msi or asus.

I am considering buying one of these desktops, just can't choose between the 2.0 or 2.4GHz models....I am not a hardcore gamer, mainly graphics programs and word processing, and some blog editing, but will the computer play FIFA 2008 and Sims 2?

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

Yes you will be able to play minecraft and the sims on this laptop but very slow at low settings, i don't know roblox. I don't recommend to play those games on this laptop because the game sessions of this brands are very large and will decrease the life of the batery. This is an economy laptop.

It could. I run WoW on medium to high on most things and it runs perfectly fine. Hope this helps :)

This laptop will support WoW on medium setting very well. For Fallout New Vegas I couldn't tell you! Sorry
