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

My answer right now is it isn't good for anything! I've had problems with it since I purchased it (slow to start up, freezes constantly, etc.). I'm using an old Dell in it's place.

Although I am not a gamer - I cannot see why it would not be. It is fast and has lots of power and the screen is extremely crisp and clear.

The short answer is no. Mine came with 750 meg of ram and I had to upgrade that just to run the programs for my job. Its good for word processing and basic web surfing but I don't think it would be good for games.

Gaming requires a strong processor, excellent graphics resolution and speed. This laptop has an i5 64-bit processor which is very good. However, out of a 9.9 scale, it only achieves moderate desktop graphics rating of 5.0; 3D and gaming rating is 6.4. The screen resolution is only 1600 x 900 rather than the more desirable 1920x1080. So, it's probably not the best gamer laptop.

Yeah. It's pretty good for games. You can't always play on the highest resolution.

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.

For a non-gaming laptop, it actually games pretty well. I've played Civ5 and Guild Wars 2 on mine and it does fine. It gets a bit hot on the underside when you have been at it for a while but overall, pretty good laptop.

It's great for gaming. Best computer on the market right now for the price point it's at.

I think this laptop is designed for playing games and watching movies or sth, so it is good for games, but not the biggest ones which need very high hardware configuration. For normal work, I think it is suitable too.

It's fairly good. It can run swtor on max and can also run minecraft with shaders with no lag. It's a very good card for the price.

I am pretty sure that I understand what you mean and the answer is yes. That is what I use it for. I am not sure how it will work with gaming, as I use it on a work computer.

Yes. We actually bought it for our son who is a gamer, but its fast with good memory so it should be able to keep . He loves it.

It is a nice laptop to be sure, but it is not a gaming rig. In my experience running games on laptops works best if they have dedicated graphics memory such as NVIDIA's GeForce series processors. The laptop you mentioned utilizes the Intel Haswell HD 5000 Series on-board graphics memory, which is good enough for almost any everyday task such as email, web videos and so on. If you are a serious gamer, then buying a laptop with dedicated (or separate) graphics card is a must.

While it has the performance to play most modern day games, it doesnt reach its peak capabilities due to the graphics card. If you are looking for gaming, its recommended to get a resolution of 1920x1080 and a graphics cards that is a Nvidia GeForce gtx model of the series rather than an nvidia geforce gt. Only problem is the cost will be. much higher, so if this is in your budget, this isn't a bad choice

I don't use the computer for gaming but, as I said in my review, this is a good computer for home computing. I'm pleased with the speed for basic household applications and internet, but I think you would be disappointed in it as a gaming machine.

Yes, it would be great for gaming with an additional good graphics card. EVGA makes some really nice ones for not much money.
