I have not used it for gaming at all but it is a bit slower than my regular laptop. It would probably need a fast internet connection to be good for gaming. Plus, the screen being so small might also make gaming difficult. Hope that helps!

My son plays minecraft on it all the time. It is a good computer for gaming.

My son bought this computer specifically for gaming. The graphics card is excellent. He loves it.

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

Based on it's specs, it should be able to run Minecraft. Functional mods shouldn't present a problem, but don't expect to be able to use the mods that add shaders and make Minecraft look incredible. Even my laptop with a dedicated graphics card has trouble with those.

This laptop is certainly not intended for gaming although gaming is still possible. Experience may vary from one title to the next although in most situations it won't be sufficient enough. To answer your question, no it wouldn't be a good gaming computer though for everything else it should suffice.

Well, I am a gamer myself and this isn't the best one for it. I can play minecraft on it with about 15 fps. So this may not be the one. But a Asus K55N can run most shooters, MMOs, and other with medium graphics at the minnimum

I purchased this computer 4 months ago. I am a gamer and play old school Everquest and can run multiple characters at one time. No overheating issues and no lag

I used to run minecraft on it, but I had to set the distance to short and the textures to flat instead of fancy. So yeah, but it's not going to be the best experience.

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 can run everything I want to, including World of Warcraft. The most important thing for the initial upgrade was a $175.00 video card. Once the video card is upgraded (on my own), the machine works great and there are no problems with anything so far.

In my experience with this computer, I will say no. It could not run Dragon Age on medium or even low settings, and Minecraft wouldn't even run. I know there is a difference between Java Run games and games that run from your graphics card, however in both cases, the processor in this computer was too weak to run either. If you can get one these with an upgraded processor for a cheap price you may be able to with more success. It's been two years since I wrote this review and the technology has grown exponentially. Just double check any graphics and processor specs before ordering, and if you do choose to order this computer, double check the specs when it arrives. I was promised a 3.2 GHz processor and was sent a computer with 1.9 GHz.

Yes, it can run Minecraft without issues. I would recommend a cooling pad under it (Zalman ZM-NC2000 is what I use) because Minecraft will keep it warm.

the onboard graphics card is not that bad. not too much of a gamer, however I have played Doon 3. I have sold many of these motherboards and have no problems are the graphics.

Excellent ... My son uses this computer for games (as well as school:) and the graphics are fabulous!!

You will be able to play some games like that, it depends all on the graphics demand of the game. The processor Itself is amazing. But the graphics card is integrated. I was definitely satisfied with the computer itself but I also bought an AMD Radeon HD 7770 graphics card. It's one of the cheaper high end graphics cards out there.

If those are anything like World of Warcraft, they should run fine. No lag and the graphics are good.
