Did anyone have any issues with this laptop? I want to buy it to play a few games on and it fits the requirements so far.

I bought mine in Feb 2014. It was supposed to be not used old model from the inventory, but mine was not. It was used one covered with black plastic tape pretending new one, installed with new Windows 7. It had no Web cam also. Only the reason I decided to keep was since this one is pretty stable computer if you know this hardware. If you can change the hard drive to 1TB, it will be great server pc at your home.

No problems at all .... I have been very happy with this laptop even running Windows 7 Pro. Does everything I need for it to do for me.

Graphics on this Laptop are probably too limited. It is a nice, mid-size, LT, but the uses would be more for doing Power Point, Excel, database, email, et al. I do run Visio (for engineering) and it handles it acceptably well. If the games are not too graphically demanding it could work out. I would highly recommend getting the lit keyboard though. I had one, but the one I bought had stock keyboard and the front light from the display keeps the keys in the dark in less than optimum lighting. I had to break out my USB LED. I will probably change the keyboard. I am sorry to not know games to handle specific examples of what might work or not, but that is where you might not get what you want.

Hi Wendy, Apologies for the slowness in response. The laptop is a good, inexpensive laptop for using basic services but not really a gaming laptop.

It most likely performs well with games that don't require too much video RAM. But intense games that use or depend on the the video GPU would run sluggish. Try to look for a laptop with at least an i5 (dual core) or i7 (quad) processor. As well with dedicated video RAM (GPU) w/at least 1GIG.

I run CS 4 on it without a problem. When I try running programs that are more graphically intensive, it gets hot and the battery life is greatly reduced. It's not a high powered GPU. All that said, it's been a solid laptop. I've been pleased.

I have had mine for several months and I believe it is a fine laptop. No complaints so far.

I use it for both of those games with no problems. Most important is to get plenty of memory and CPU power (i5 or better)

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'm not sure if I would recommend it for games that require higher specs but I play games like Counter-Strike : Source, DOTA 2, Fallout without any problems. It handles well for not being a so called gaming laptop.

Sorry to hear you had problems with yours. I've had zero problems with mine. Mine is running extremely well, due to the regular maintenance and upkeep I do on it. Like with any computer or device you have to maintain it in order for it to run efficiently. Great machine and still highly recommend.

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.

Honestly, I can say that it isn't spectacular for gaming. I tried to play the new Far Cry on it and it was lagging so bad that I couldn't play it. It can play games like Skyrim and Fallout. But then again those games aren't that new.

The previous answer is correct. It must have been an error in the description. I have this laptop and it is awesome for the price. I am a big gamer, and it plays all the new games. The processor is a Intel Celeron 2957U Dual-core 1.40 GHz.

Yes it is and is a great laptop. Got it for my dad so I cannot benchmark games on it.
