Can anyone please comment on the Studio 10's ability to run graphical intensive games on Android, and if so how well? Thanks EDIT: Yes thanks Cleric, games like Dungeon Hunter and ShadowGun Multiplayer, Nova 3, GTA etc. How do those hold up? Thanks again

OK. It only took me a couple of hours to add my apps and set up house, so to speak. Upon logging into ShadoGun Multiplayer (free), I found it to be a little out of my realm. Prior to playing, I cranked up the colors and animations on the tablet. Play seems really good, movement, interface response, all good. I just haven't played one of those games in a long time. I'm sure the paid version is much better. One thing though. The tablet asked if I was sure if I wanted to download such a "huge file" (over 1GB), it took about 2 minutes or so to load up. I wonder if I added a 16GB sd card if that would make a difference? In addition, if I touched the edge of the tablet a certain way, it would pop me to the home screen.

No, this version doesn't run Android, it's got all the rest of the applications as mentioned. I remember, I saw another which really ran Android, its cost was higher.

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.

I have a tried to play war commander on Facebook and it doesn't support it because there isn't a graphics card installed on because those games require a graphics card but the ones downloaded from the Google play store do not require one. Hope this helps out this is a good tablet though for the money but it is kind of limited to what it can do.

I have no experience with that game, however, the i7 microprocessor (this computer has 4 CPUs) is quite fast. I got a couple of Samsung 23" monitors, used @ $120 apiece (they worked/looked like "new"). These are DVI/VGA 1080p monitors that are a great leap ahead of the Dell VGA monitors I had. My cable installer told me he has seen every TV there is and Samsung has the best picture. I came to the same conclusion after comparing at least a dozen different brands at Costco. My CPU has 8G of memory. Would recommend upgrade to 16G of RAM. Your video card will have lots to do with this. You might upgrade the video card to 'state of the art.'

I love the laptop. Playing Wildstar averaging 30fps, which is not lightning fast, but it's smooth and quite enjoyable. WoW runs an average of 90fps with everything set to high. Mech Warrior Online yields similar results. I haven't tried any FPS's yet.

It's running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. I really haven't played with it much. I know you can go to the Google Play store and get apps. I just don't know how they play out through the sound bar. I'll update review once I do.

It runs it well as long as you are not wanting to run the highest end settings. I run at settings at the default "Good" setting with resolution of 1920x1080. The frame rate averages 35-45. It is definitely not the same as running on a powerhouse desktop, but it runs well enough to enjoy questing, pvp, and even some raiding. I am not an avid pvp or raid player so I can't say how the system runs when there are large numbers of players in confined areas. I have participated in some of the Celestials groups and never saw any issues there. The frame rate is usually on the lower side, 35 or even down to 30, but it still processes well enough to keep up with everyone.

I have not run any heavy games. Zumas Revenge, Bejeweled 3, and other similar games run fine.

I would check into the android app because BB is creating a way to use them, I'm too busy to check it out presently but I recall a news release indicating a way to use android, but maybe it's only for the system 10 phones??? I know my Playbook was just updated with a newer system and support is on going.

I personally would not recommend it. I would get a cheep android. There are no modern driver for the original slate. It has lots of glitches. Its very heavy and gets very hot. It was at the time when came out. I like windows. But If you are looking for some thing offordable like I said go for tablet you'll like it a lot better.

emWave2 actually has interactive "games" that are not too complex, but at least they are games that approximate an engaging environment (good HRV feedback in the form of a b&w photo turning up color schemes, colored sparkles emanating from the palm of your hand. Handheld alone is fine and games only via laptop/desktop. Inner Balance obviously has the advantage of ipod touch and iPad which I have used easily, but there are NO games as of yet. the peaceful image you see in the promo screen is just that...a peaceful image that does NOT change or provide visual feedback of successful HRV. you can see line graph changes of your HRV so there IS visual feedback, but I try to teach HRV skill to children who have no idea what a line graph means...and can give up easily after just waiting for blue or green dots. If given the choice, I'd go with inner balance because I'm trusting heartmath will see this as a burgeoning market and go forward with developing gaming apps. even better if they open it up to other game makers.

I never tried, and i'm not sure it'll run that great. lately I have played some games and it worked pretty slow.I think you should check out some other well known smartphones who can run any game instead of this.P.S:The games who ran slow were:*FIFA 2014*Asphalt 8 (At some points)

I haven't used Manga Studio, but it has no problems with Photoshop. However, I don't use it in an intensive way, so my usage may not be typical. So far my only complaint is that Windows 8 is terrible and I strongly dislike the charms menu that keeps popping up when I don't want it to. The keyboard is also somewhat clunky but passable, I'm sure I'll get used to it in time. Other than that, awesome laptop.

I run vegan on mine! I love it! At first all I heard was how crappy it was but I love it was unstable once just had to install a stable ROM. Only thing I didn't like about OS was the market sucked. Waiting to be able to upgrade to honey comb to see what its like. So far my only complaint is that some apps are still small in a little square because there made for a phone but other than that I am enjoying getting to know my tablet!

i believe so, i ran it on 7, but have heard that all the 8 & 8.1 versions can run in an emulator mode for older versions if you need...it may run fine as is. have fun, it was a good game.
