For app gaming yes, for hardcore gaming like battlefield I wouldnt recommend because of the limitations of the CPU.

Sure, but we still can't connect via our wireless network. I've sent it back to gateway after we refreshed and reset the PC. After a week they replaced a part and sent back to us.....we still can't use the wireless network.

It is not made for gaming. It is fine for internet, emails, and school work.

not if you expect to do any graphics or game playing. the bandwidth is not sufficent and it is not driven by your graphics card.

Yes and yes. It's a fast machine. But you'll need a graphic's card if you want to play most games. I don't play on mine, but I have a friend that does.

My guy has played Starcraft on it and says it runs slower/the graphics were better on his old gaming computer, but he added a graphics card and it runs smoothly now. But no, I would not recommend this computer for gaming as is.

Sorry, didn't see question sooner. No, not a good (as someone answered already) serious gaming computer, although I'm not into gaming at all, don't see the point but this is a great bill pay computer, all around computer. You would probably want a different graphics card, more memory for gaming, but for someone wanting an all around general computer I would pick this one.

I'm not sure if I would recommend it for games that require higher specs but I play games like Counter-Strike : Source, DOTA 2, Fallout without any problems. It handles well for not being a so called gaming laptop.

Don't buy it for gaming. It is an enterprise server. CPU and Memory configuration is not optimized for gaming. Plus it won't take gaming video cards at all. And the server is fairly loud. So unless you are setting up a gaming server, this is not a product for you.

Oh yes this runs garrys mod, half life, and other steam games quite nicely, the first day i got this i played halflife and worked beautifully. if you want to game, then this is a decent laptop. minecraft also works if you have certain settings set.

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.

Yes, this should do more than fine for gaming. I own it and haven't had any problems.

The short answer is no. Mine came with 750 meg of ram and I had to upgrade that just to run the programs for my job. Its good for word processing and basic web surfing but I don't think it would be good for games.

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.

Not really. Games run, but many slow. My client uses it for email and web mostly. Not a gamer.

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

I don't use the computer for gaming but, as I said in my review, this is a good computer for home computing. I'm pleased with the speed for basic household applications and internet, but I think you would be disappointed in it as a gaming machine.
