How is this laptop for gaming? Is it able to play newer games on at least low settings?

Hi, I have been playing some newer games like Watch Dogs and The Crew: Beta. They run pretty well on low settings and 720p resolution. I can play Grid : Auto sport on medium to high settings on 1080p resolution pretty well. Battlefield 3 also runs pretty smooth on medium settings with 900p resolution. So it will satisfy your minimum gaming needs. But if you are looking for better graphics you should look for the model with the nvidia gt750 card.

I wouldn't recommend it for gaming. I ran a few games on our computer setup, and they ran much slower than an older computer using a quad core processor. I use it in an HTPC. Most of the tasks are done one at a time, so the dual core works fine. It is fast for light duty applications, but games aren't light duty.

I bought it for my father-in-law, so I'm not using it all the time. But... I'm thinking it may be that good as a gaming machine. - it does have a good-sized hard drive and a decent processor, but it doesn't have the high end video card that would be best for gaming. It seems to be a good computer and the price was good though.

I don't use this laptop for gaming or imaging purposes. But from what I gather, you generally want a dedicated graphics card if you want to game. This Radeon is built into the AMD A6-5350M CPU, so it's going to be slower. Just figure out what you want to use your laptop for before you buy it. I certainly didn't purchase this laptop for gaming.

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

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

Hi Brenda. I don't play games on mine but I do rely heavily on graphics. This computer is very good with real time graphics. Extremely fast refresh rate and very dependable powerful machine. I think you'll be happy with it.

I have had it for a couple months now and it runs great. Plays games beautifully such as dark souls 2 on high settings.

Yes it is and is a great laptop. Got it for my dad so I cannot benchmark games on it.

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.

Hi Tyler yes you can play some games, but some of the games requires good video card and I believed these laptops should have 128mb or 256mb video on board so you have to check with your games what is the requirement Thank you

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

Good question. this machine only has integrated HD4400 from Intel, and as such is only good for light to moderate gaming and will in no way substitute for a gaming notebook (that are double to triple this thing's weight) Personally, I've managed to get Sims3 or Simcity running on it without significant problems. when i'm traveling I can log on to MMOs such as Guild Wars 2, WoW, etc on the lowest graphic settings to get my achievements down. the laptop will handle the vast majority of modern games at low to medium settings if you set them to 1600x900 (half the full resolution of the screen). In short, it's good enough to handle my CASUAL gaming needs on the road when I get some downtime, but expect it to fail epically for any type of serious gaming.

The laptop works pretty good for multimedia! for gaming its ok but it could be better! I haven't installed any of the good games yet, however I try regular games and like I said is ok. I think the RAM can be upgrade!

Hi Wendy, Apologies for the slowness in response. The laptop is a good, inexpensive laptop for using basic services but not really a gaming laptop.

I am sorry to tell you this but this laptop is certainly not for gaming. If you want to play games like Call of Duty Ghosts etc, you are going to have to pay at least triple the cost of this laptop. with a 1.86 GHz processor, you are getting netbook-like performance. (not good for gaming). If you want a laptop that can play Call of Duty Ghosts, I would recommend this one: http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-G750JW-DB71-17-3-Inch-Laptop-Black/dp/B00COQIKB4/ref=psdc1_t3_B00DXFF6QC_B00COQIKB4
