Is it good for casual gaming? (Just for games like Half-Life 2 and such.)

Yes its great, I have Flight Simulator X. It works good on this computer. Better than I thought it would.

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

its decent for it. its got integrated graphics which kinda sucks, but itll play things like skyrim on low settings, if you want to use that as a benchmark. i havent noticed any overheating problem. i personally use it for gaming as im a twitch streamer and this is my main rig atm. i havent really tried newer games on it as much. it has slowdown with dolphin (gamecube/wii emulator) but runs things like Skullgirls no problem.

I use this laptop strictly for work and general web browsing. I do not do any gaming with it. Other reviews I read prior to purchasing it, said that it is not the ideal machine for gamers. Hope this helps....

Absolutely. That's what it's meant for. With its high quality NIC, sound card, overclocking features, SLI/CF support, etc... it's completely designed to be used for gaming and it's been working very well for me.

Yeah of course. Besides running programs on it, I also use it to play starcraft 2. The game runs at ultra quality with no problem.

It's alright for casual gaming, but with no programmable buttons I am not a fan of it for gaming. Not to mention the absolute terrible battery life. I put energizer ultimate lithium AA batteries in it and they lasted less than 2 months. Pay the extra for a mouse with programmable buttons if you want to game. As for fps, it does alright for some. I've only played SEV2 with it and I find myself annoyed by the loudness of the click mostly.

I would say it's decent for gaming. I have loaded Star Wars:Empire at War and C&C Generals loaded on mine and thet play perfectly. Display runs at 1920x1080 without any problems. My only complaints is that the fan will run at full speed when playing and sounds like a jet engine

It's only a fair gaming machine. While the processor is powerful, it's slow by today's standards. I think you would be frustrated with the games your are looking at.

It does okay for 2D indie games on steam, but choked through X-com. Wouldn't recommend for serious gaming.

It can handle games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, League of Legends, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2, Minecraft etc. not all on high settings.

I definitely would not recommend for gaming. I use it on my desktop at work. It is fine for that, but it does pause quite a bit at times.

Depends on what you mean by "gaming"? This is a netbook with a 1.0 Ghz cpu with Turbo to 1.3 Ghz for two cores. It has the equivalent of a Radeon HD 6200 series video card. It is very good for internet browsing, e-mail, typical office tasks and very good for watching streaming video. If the game is internet-based and doesn't require a high-powered cpu and video card then it should be perfectly adequate.

Don't get this to play games with it. There's a noticeable lag when playing games. It's good to use for normal computer use.... But I wouldn't recommend gaming with it.

Yes it's good for PC gamers. I got this for my son who wanted it to use for his x box one and I asked him your question and he said it's good for PC gamers.

As long as the games aren't very graphics intensive. I just received this as a holiday gift, and am hunting down options for a video card upgrade. While a casual gamer by most accounts, the games with pretty graphics still struggle a bit with this rig. Hope that helps!

I am pretty sure that I understand what you mean and the answer is yes. That is what I use it for. I am not sure how it will work with gaming, as I use it on a work computer.
