Will I be able to make this a gaming laptop?

You can upgrade to an SSD and 16GB of ram, but you're stuck with the i5 and integrated Intel HD 4400. So for recent games no. It runs CS:GO 60fps with the right settings though.

I have been researching laptops for a few weeks, with intent to purchase. The Lenovo site groups this model in with gaming. If you can upgrade the ram, it should be a commendable all-purpose/gaming machine.

"Okay" .. yes... But this is not a gaming class machine to be sure... I have been able to play the newest 1st person shooters and driving games quite well..(not at highest level settings)., however I would very much recommend a RAM upgrade to 8gig(max it allows) if gaming is desired.... Overall for.the price I find it to be a quick and.versatile machine... But, I would consider the price of a RAM upgrade (80-ish dollars) into the purchase price if you plan to game.

Your laptop graphics processor must support DirectX 9c and should have a Gb of RAM dedicated to it. I doubt that it will be able to run at above medium resolution, but if you can live with that, then it should work. If you would provide the exact model number of your laptop, I could give you a better answer.

not much, could run most at medium settings - more of a capable general purpose laptop than gaming unit.

It's more than enough for games, but the GPU is more important in this case. I have the i5-4670 + GTX 770 and it plays almost all games at maximum graphics settings at 1920x1080

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

No, this is a desktop processor. You will not be able to put this into that laptop.

that is what I have and it works beautifully. Just remember the system requirements for this including i7, big graphics card, etc.

It depends what type of gaming. I had to install an aftermarket graphics card to get it to play Microsoft Flight Simulator at a decent frame rate, so I'd say no (out of the box).

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

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.

I don't use this laptop for gaming or imaging purposes. But from what I gather, you generally want a dedicated graphics card if you want to game. This Radeon is built into the AMD A6-5350M CPU, so it's going to be slower. Just figure out what you want to use your laptop for before you buy it. I certainly didn't purchase this laptop for gaming.

Gonna be straight, that motherboard and processor is super old and will restrict any form of gaming. An addition of a modern motherboard would not help it much at all. At this point in time, I'd just save up more money and build your own computer. (I didn't check thoroughly if it would fit or not.)

Yes of course. Its a gaming laptop but a laptop none the less it justs does things faster and better then most of your budget laptops
