Can it handle online games? Do you think this will be suitable?

I just installed half life 2 on this and it plays smoothly (25-30FPS even during combat) at 1366 x 768 with a mix of medium and high detail (Looks great!). It can handle games just not the newest and most graphic intensive ones. Mind you I haven't upgraded to 4GB of memory yet so I'm sure it will be even better then.

I am sure it can. It run's as simple as plugging in a mouse the issue is finding a game it's compatible with. I'm not sure if the this was aimed towards people who use simulators.. but it doesn't work with a lot of online games.

I honestly don't know for sure, but I use it to play Guild Wars 2 on it, so I want to say yes, you should check the minimum req. for the games

Although I've never prrsonally tried it, in theory you should be able too. Look to insure your games specifications as some may be too advanced to be compatible. Remember this device is purposed to allow one to continue using outdated components. Good luck

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

It is not a good computer if you are a serious gamer. For simple games it will do.

I have been very disjointed with this device. The speed of operation is also too slow for live gaming... You might have to spend some more money to get the performance and reliability you need... However,,, please let me know if you do try it and it works...

Absolutely. We use ours on a wireless LAN to stream and play all kinds of internet games and this thing is a beats. It handles high res HD video gaming and stream without a problem. i7 intel processor is the best you can get on this type of system.

To me this is a fast computer! I don't play video games. It will certainly be quite good for your school work. Suggest that you look at your video game site and see what the specifications are, then cross check here with the information that Amazon provides. The Toshiba site also has good information and I checked it several times while I was deciding which computer would be right for me. There should be an 800 number on that site.

I've used it for online gaming a few times, and it did a great job with graphics and speed.

Yes it can handle some. If you are wanting it for newer games I would get something different.

I am not sure if this is really the machine for this kind of applications. You can only load 2 gig of memory and that is not really enough to play any games.

Can't answer that. It does stream youtube Hulu type vids well (what I got it for), but my guess it would not do well for gaming.

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 play online games all the time and I've never once had a problem with it!!! This is an absolutely amazing computer and have had no trouble playing any game

Yes but it is not a fast gamer. More for "On the go computing", due to small size and light weight. If Gaming is your thing, you will be disappointed. It is a great business box though.

yes, it will run games, but it's not going to give extreme details or all the sparkles of a gaming rig. it's more of a multi-media/work station type machine. i upgraded the ram to 8gig, and it is a sweet machine!
