Gaming: For anyone who has this laptop, how is it for gaming?

I would also like to know about gaming on this laptop. I'm looking into a new laptop for myself, and as a gamer I would like to know how well games perform on this PC.

I bought it for my father-in-law, so I'm not using it all the time. But... I'm thinking it may be that good as a gaming machine. - it does have a good-sized hard drive and a decent processor, but it doesn't have the high end video card that would be best for gaming. It seems to be a good computer and the price was good though.

Sorry I do not use it for gaming, but have no complaints in using it for other purposes. It is working great.

Hi. Really, this is a good computer. Yes, is decent for gaming purpose but....only for gaming?, I use my g7 for scientific and engineering purposes, because this is a powerful system. The games inside this one, specially mah jong, are very nice. Mah jong has a relaxant sounds, so you put on earphones and enjoy the sounds while you are playing. pavilion g7-2220us is a decent laptop not only for gaming, but other purposes. Buy it and enjoy!

I actually went ahead and got this laptop and have been playing it on StarCraft 2, so idk about B. Chans issue as my Asus X1 has been running StarCraft 2 just fine.As others said though, my real only complaint with this laptop so far is the amount of crap I had to uninstall when I first got it, so much bloatware.

I cannot, I'm sorry. I purchased this for resale. It's a pretty basic laptop, not a lot of bells and whistles. Large HDD, space for up to 8GB RAM, and a nice i5, but it's not a gaming rig. I want to say the graphics are by NVidea, but I wouldn't count on that.

I'm not a gamer nor am I a PC expert by any means but I don't think this laptop is something I would consider a "gaming" PC. My opinion is that it's for everyday use for activities like personal finance, MS Office, internet browsing and jus general use. I'm sure it can run games but not games requiring high graphics capabilities etc.

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: http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-G750JW-DB71-17-3-Inch-Laptop-Black/dp/B00COQIKB4/ref=psdc1_t3_B00DXFF6QC_B00COQIKB4

The PC runs very well on every game that I have tried so far. Although, the two things I do not like on this laptop itself is the wireless card and the resolution of the laptop. The wireless card built in cannot connect as well to the area's wifi than my own wireless USB adapter, which I bought myself, since I knew beforehand that the wireless card on the laptop was not that great. I get about 3 bars with the laptop's built in wireless card, while my USB adapter gets about 5 bars of connectivity. The resolution of the laptop cannot be changed, but I do wish it was a bit larger. I plan on being an external monitor or just save up for a better laptop in the future. Some games are unable to go full screen, but I can manage for the mean time. Other than that, the laptop is capable of being used for gaming. Hope this helps!

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.

No. It handles internet fine and MMORPGs like WoW and Aura Kingdom were alright. However, I would not recommend this laptop for gaming.

I have not tried, but I would not recommend it for gaming. I played some older games on it, and they had some lag ...

I am not sure. .... I will say it has been fine for normal laptop use, but I cannot answer for gaming. I think it is really stable to be honest. I have not had any issues with downloading or uploading.

Hi Austin... I just bought this same exact laptop refurbished at Best Buy for $398 (taxes in) and I too play League of Legends. It runs the game very well on low or very low graphics (40-55 fps) and on medium graphics I get about 30-40 fps. The only thing I don't like is how my palm gets super warm when playing from resting on the keyboard :( Sleek design, great speed, and quiet fan. Hope this helps!

Haven't really done it myself but you shouldn't have any issues, that is in my opinion the big advantage a desktop has over the laptops, anyway i've played many next gen games and haven't got any performance issue so far

I don't use mine for gaming. I would assume the processor would have difficulty with such applications. I would recommend something with a quad core at a minimum.
