how would this laptop hold up against things like WoW at medium settings or something such as Fallout New Vegas on Medium settings as well?

It would be able to handle it. It has the ideal requirements for them. Also fallout 3 has more mods than Vegas if you like that kind of stuff 3 is the better buy.

I can run Skyrim on high with stable fps. You'll be fine playing WoW or new Vegas

This laptop will support WoW on medium setting very well. For Fallout New Vegas I couldn't tell you! Sorry

It can play both of those games smoothly at their highest settings. It can play even more new and graphically intense games at high settings like Arma 3 for example. This computers specs will be able to play any game out right now and for the foreseeable future.

I love the laptop. Playing Wildstar averaging 30fps, which is not lightning fast, but it's smooth and quite enjoyable. WoW runs an average of 90fps with everything set to high. Mech Warrior Online yields similar results. I haven't tried any FPS's yet.

It has the power to run the games fine and on high graphics settings. But if you're intending to use it for long periods of time, 3-4 hours settings, I'd go for something else. The problem I've been having with this model is the power port becomes overly heated and has become disconnected from the motherboard. I've had to repair it twice.

Good question. this machine only has integrated HD4400 from Intel, and as such is only good for light to moderate gaming and will in no way substitute for a gaming notebook (that are double to triple this thing's weight) Personally, I've managed to get Sims3 or Simcity running on it without significant problems. when i'm traveling I can log on to MMOs such as Guild Wars 2, WoW, etc on the lowest graphic settings to get my achievements down. the laptop will handle the vast majority of modern games at low to medium settings if you set them to 1600x900 (half the full resolution of the screen). In short, it's good enough to handle my CASUAL gaming needs on the road when I get some downtime, but expect it to fail epically for any type of serious gaming.

It runs very well on medium to highish settings. You aren't going to be able to run it smoothly on max settings.

I am sure this computer can handle both with ease. Blizzard games are not known for their graphics and plus this computer's GPU is pretty close to the best a laptop can get excluding the SLIs.

I am by no means a computer expert, but the MMO's that I play run on the highest settings with no problem. The fans run louder, but that's not really an issue for me. I mostly play World of Warcraft and I have the best graphics of any computer I have owned with this system. Hope this was helpful.

It handles many Steam games without issue (New Vegas, Portal 2, L4D2). I'm currently running Skyrim with mods at high setting (not highest, mind). Vanilla Minecraft runs really well, although I had unresolved operating issues with the Feed the Beast modpack.

The computer does well for Second Life, which is a very demanding game. I have for overca year bow and have been very pleased. it is a real workhorse.

I have played over 30 hours of Skyrim and I have found that this laptop runs best on high, except for medium shadows, 2x AA and no AF

Most games rely mainly on processor power and seeing that this laptop has an AMD 2.7 GHz it should run most modern games at high (maybe not extreme) settings. Not to mention the turbo boost which activates automatically when needed. 4 GB of ram is the average amount needed to run most games today so it should be fine, however I personally recommend upgrading it to 8 GB when you get it. You can do this yourself or bring it to a computer shop.

No problem running Orcs Must Die 2, Unreal Tournament 3 Black Edition and Warcraft III on Win7. My only gripe with the system is a hardware option to turn off the mouse pad. The mouse pad layout does get in the way with wasd games. In FPS games, if the character randomly shoots or strays to the left then an adjustment in posture remedies the issue.

Managed to run Skyrim on this at mid settings without a problem. I don't know the FPS but looks like better than 30.

my friend plays LoL on the highest settings possible, i also have an extra 4 gb's of RAM, but it can definitely play Lol on high. I dont have WoW so i can't say if it can handle it or not. This laptop can also play battlefield 3 on medium and Star Wars the Old Republic on low settings.

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....

We haven't run WoW on it. But it runs Rift, Elder Scrolls Online and other games/MMOs at full settings without issue. It should have no trouble running WoW.
