I love this laptop. It can run almost every game on high to ultra settings. I play watch dogs on ultra and get 40 frames per second. Sometimes even more.

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 is a good and lightweight laptop. If weight is not an issue check GT72 and Asus rog series. And if you have a budget of 1900 also check MSI GS70 pro.

So far it has been a great laptop, I preferred Windows 7 and it was configured with this version. I had a HP laptop and this one seems solid, besides the HP motherboard died after about a year and a key broke. It's fast, I'm not a gamer so if this is your main hobby I have no idea what it will do.

I play world of Warcraft on it, works good but not as good as my Alienware.

The Lap top can be used for gaming, but may run slow for the more graphic intense games. (I would not consider it, a top of the line Gaming PC)My reply is based on other Toshiba Satellite of verious makes I have owned, they are very good low cost laptops. A Toshiba Satellite I ordered was recently lost in the mail

I would say no laptop is good for gaming. Those that are good enough for playing anything new, or with any degree of quality would be too bulky or too pricy to afford. That being said if you aren't planning on playing the latest triple A games (Call of Duty, Titan fall, etc.) the laptop is fine for playing games. Though it will run hot since it has an integrated GPU. I got Diablo 3 running, but I need to play it on a table with a cooling pad, and with medium graphics settings.

I think that this laptop should work just fine with the games you mentioned. There is a possibility, however, that you won't be able to use the best graphic settings in those games. Generally, if you want a laptop for gaming, try to search for the ones that have a dedicated (not integrated) video cards inside. You can usually find it (whether it's dedicated) out in the detailed specs of a laptop. The general rule here, however, is that it's hard to find a laptop with a dedicated video card under $700.

It depends on your needs. Home business, office work, school, or just for fun? It's a powerful computer, and for average use works very well!! If you want something that also games well, you will need to have a better video card installed. Otherwise for the money you can't beat this computer! :)

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

Hi Austin... I just bought this same exact laptop refurbished at Best Buy for $398 (taxes in) and I too play League of Legends. It runs the game very well on low or very low graphics (40-55 fps) and on medium graphics I get about 30-40 fps. The only thing I don't like is how my palm gets super warm when playing from resting on the keyboard :( Sleek design, great speed, and quiet fan. Hope this helps!

I haven't tried these games specifically, but due to the 3D accelleratipon being handled by the Intel Haswell processor I would expect them to run good enough on the the low to medium detail settings, but 4xAA is out of the question. This is not a gaming laptop, but it will run most games. If you connect to an external 1080P monitor or TV, then I would recommend dropping to low detail on modern, 3D-heavy games. Intel may think they have Nvidia in their grasp with the Haswell processor, but that is all marketing hype. As a working laptop (school, internet, programming, office productivity, etc..) this thing has plenty of resources available to it.

I wouldn't recommend it. It seems like a good laptop but I had problems with it. After a week, it simply stopped working. After looking into it, this particular model is just faulty and is known to just stop working. Several people on different forums including the Dell forums have had the problem with it ceasing to function. Personally, your better off investing your time into another laptop. The one I am using current is from PC Richards and I was able to purchase it for around $350. Just look around at different places and im sure you can find something to suit your needs.

I'm not a hardcore gamer, so I can't answer from that point of view. I got this laptop for heavy duty computation, including CAD, software/simulation development, and photo/audio/video processing. The in-unit cooling is very effective and surprisingly quiet. Like you, I had initially considered a laptop cooler, but decided to wait. IMHO, it's not necessary. Maybe I'll use the money I saved to get some games!

There is no catch. My answer is based on my purchase a year ago. The deilvery and shipping were good, the laptop works fine. I think the price is reasonable because it is not much of the gaming laptops but rather your daily business use (or that's how I use it.) I love it :) I think the price might be 'cause its windows 8, when 8.1 is out already, but that is my assumption.

I don't use mine for gaming. I would assume the processor would have difficulty with such applications. I would recommend something with a quad core at a minimum.

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.

If you are specially looking for a gaming laptop, this is not the right one. That would cost around $750. However, this computer is one of the best options for multipurpose including gaming option. It has a good battery life, screen, or Windows 8. It's pretty dependable and well made with full size keys, good size screen and resolution, full HDMI port, Ethernet, SD card slot, very thin/light. If you want a pretty good laptop for cheap, without getting an old netbook, a tiny screen, or a used computer, this can't be beat. In addition, Windows 8 gives you the power to quickly browse, watch movies, play games, polish your resume, and pull together a killer presentation - all on a single PC.

To answer your question ... It depends. I purchased this laptop for my nephew who is a student and using the internet for online class activity. It is not a very fast machine and I would not recommend it for gaming. But for internet usage which depends more on your connection speed, it meets his needs.
