Yes, I've used it with steam games. Had to map buttons manually but worked great. :)

Yep! Steam supports linux and works great. So far as system req, if you can run steam games you can run linux. Its much leaner than windows. But download the latest version from linuxmint dot com, and make a donation directly to linuxmint foundation. Dont buy this cd sold on amazon here.

If you have dedicated graphic card yes, if not then no. It can play basic non-intensive 3D games like TF2 or KSP.

Yes, it'll play any source games like CSGO and TF2 perfectly fine, even at high graphics. You'll get around 200-300 fps in quiet areas if not much is going on, and maybe you'll get around 30 fps if you happen to find yourself in an area with like 12 people all running around spamming grenades and other explosives.

It should work well, since you already have the minimum config for it to run. I have seen it running on a 1 RAM, and 1.7 ghz, thus you should be fine. All you might get is a 5,5 ms latency, but that is nothing to worry, since it is a reasonable latency and will run fine.

Personally, I've never run a game on any computer so I can not answer your question. But this machine is equipped with a very powerful core i-7 processor and a good graphics so my best guess is it will do the job as well as anything out there. The machine is installed with 64 bit Window 7 Pro.

If you like Android gaming or emulation it's still worth it. I can use the streaming feature, but I personally use it to play Android and emulated games more than streaming from my PC.

Anything and everything. I have over 200 games in my steam library and it runs them all at max settings or near max settings.

Yeah of course. Besides running programs on it, I also use it to play starcraft 2. The game runs at ultra quality with no problem.

Yes, this worked perfectly with Win7-64 bit for emulators (snes, gba, nes, genesis, mame) and some fanmade games like streetfighter vs megaman, super mario bros x, and castlevania fighter. I did not get it to work perfectly with steam, but I'm sure with some troubleshooting it would work for that.

Yes, it works out of the box, highly recommended for any Linux distro: SteamOS, Ubuntu, Linux Mint, etc. Great for games! Works flawlessly with Steam and Steam games. Not sure about ChromeOS or Android but I assume those include all the same drivers as every other Linux distribution does.

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.

If you mean games like wow or something along those lines I'm sure you can. I personally don't play many pc games but I do have steam on this laptop

Linux will run fine on this board. Ubuntu the same as long as you use the newest version and not LTS. I use steam daily and haven't had an issue at all. Feel free to ask anymore questions.
