Monitors don't really affect your gaming experience its your computer and mainly video card. But its good, a bit small for my liking.

No. It's a great laptop but not for gaming. I got it for my father who only browses the web and checks email.

I play video games.. so far so good with this. Of course you cant expect the highest setting for high-spec game such as Assassin's Creed : Unity, as it just provide about 20 fps. I think its a good for a budget pc setup :)

It is excellent for gaming and 3D. The amount of gain on the screen is perfect if your room isn't pitch black.

Gaming requires a strong processor, excellent graphics resolution and speed. This laptop has an i5 64-bit processor which is very good. However, out of a 9.9 scale, it only achieves moderate desktop graphics rating of 5.0; 3D and gaming rating is 6.4. The screen resolution is only 1600 x 900 rather than the more desirable 1920x1080. So, it's probably not the best gamer laptop.

It's great for gaming. Best computer on the market right now for the price point it's at.

yes its good for gaming, the k indicates that it can be overclocked, also it allows for pci express 3.0 connections for your graphics cardsMost motherboards work well with it, I've personally used two asus x79 boards and can recommend both, the sabertooth x79 and rampage 4 extreme

I would say not...it is a good basic laptop, at least for me, but I would say very unlikely to handle gaming

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 bought it more than 1 year ago. It was good for gaming back then, but certainly not today.

In my opinion. It is not the best computer for gaming. All though it does work ok. My brother is a huge mine craft fan and he said that it was slightly slow. It still is good though. Alienware computers are expensive. But they are the best for gaming.

yes, you can use it for gaming as well. The graphics card will suffer only a slight degradation of performance from the use of the 1x slot.

I am not a gamer, but it is good for heavy graphics work, so it should work for that. Sorry, I really don't know the answer. I have been very satisfied with the product though.

Very good for gaming thats what I use myn for and when running battlefield 4 this thing isnt even running at 60 percent it will handle just about anything you throw at it
