How is it for a temporary gaming laptop?

I have 4GB and the only games you can expect this to run are either low spec or 10 years old. I can run HL2 on it, with some slowdown when explosions occur, and I can run things likes Spacebase DF9 well on it.

More than adequate for myself. I don't recommend it as a gaming unit, but for online searches and study it has been just fine. I will add, that this unit has to be cooled by external methods because it runs on the warm side. I would also purchase an additional battery as a back up, Dell batteries are under-acheaver to say the very least.

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

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.

It is a smooth running laptop but as for its gaming performance I can't comment. It's not really designed for it. I use it for work and casual web surfing

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.

I would say not...it is a good basic laptop, at least for me, but I would say very unlikely to handle gaming

It handles games very well. I just keep it on a flat table and so far haven't had any heat issues. There is a setting that turns the fan into a jet engine, but I've never had to use it. Great screen, hardly any glare.

No and no! This is definitely not a gaming laptop, it couldn't handle it. It's more of an everyday task type of computer. Mine is still doing great after a year!

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

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.

Oh yes. Definitely good for games. I play TF2, Minecraft, Tekkit, and various other steam games. They all run great. For the price this is definitely the best gaming laptop out there. I actually got it for 375 (not including tax) at Best Buy as an open box deal! I suggest looking there.

no, it simply would not do any good for gaming. For gaming you would need at the very minimum 4-8 GBs of RAM (this has 1 GB RAM which is very bad especially for gaming) and about 3.1GHz or an Intel Core i3 / Intel Core i5 hope this helps :)

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.

Sorry I do not use it for gaming, but have no complaints in using it for other purposes. It is working great.

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