is it good enough for gaming?

I don't think so. The integrated graphics of this Acer laptop is not enough powerful. For gaming you need laptop or desktop with separate graphic card - Radeon form AMD or Nvidia.

I had to return mine, only had it a week and it kept shutting down on me. It could have just been a bad unit, but I wasn't taking any chances so I returned it and bought a Dell.

No. I have this laptop and the graphics card (GPU) only has 128 GB of ram. I have played Linux games like Open Arena and that's OK but the graphics is not what nowadays is being used. I don't really do gaming on laptops or desktops for I prefer a console but if I want to kill time, any game does for me.I had this laptop since 2010 and haven't got any troubles that weren't my fault. I have been able to upgrade the HDD and RAM myself with help of Youtube videos and past experience in computer assembly too. Like knowing you shouldn't touch the parts directly (gloves) and also take out the battery while installing the upgrades. No. I have this laptop and the graphics card (GPU) only has 128 GB of ram.

I have not tried, but I would not recommend it for gaming. I played some older games on it, and they had some lag ...

It can play Skyrim on ULTRA settings, Left 4 Dead 2, quite a few others. No issues with gaming.

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

Hi. Really, this is a good computer. Yes, is decent for gaming purpose but....only for gaming?, I use my g7 for scientific and engineering purposes, because this is a powerful system. The games inside this one, specially mah jong, are very nice. Mah jong has a relaxant sounds, so you put on earphones and enjoy the sounds while you are playing. pavilion g7-2220us is a decent laptop not only for gaming, but other purposes. Buy it and enjoy!

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

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

Yes it's good for PC gamers. I got this for my son who wanted it to use for his x box one and I asked him your question and he said it's good for PC gamers.

If you are not going to use a super performance graphic card then yes. that would be good enough.

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.

This has a good deal of memory and reasonable processor speed. It also has a great resolution with an excellent screen.Unless you are a hardcore gamer, it should be fine.

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.

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.

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.

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!
