To anyone who's bought this, can this computer run games? Not at the highest quality or anything, just like standard quality. Thanks.

It runs WoW okay, but you have to keep the settings down low. Recently upgraded the memory to 8Gig which helped a bit for not too much cash. There are also okay video cards that will actually fit in this case. Low profile Radeon HD6000 series cards or NVIDIA 620GT cards are available for less than a hundred dollars and will greatly increase yourgame performance and graphics quality. Still not a top o' the line machine, but nothing to sneer at either.

Faster than what?You should be able to play without a problem. It depends on your graphics card though. I overclocked mine without any issues too. It is an old processor now. Hard to find motherboards for it.

What type of games? I play basic FB games, but I really haven't tried anything else. If they're more graphic intense, I would contact the company about how to upgrade. Or see if one of their gaming computers are in your budget. Looks like their lowest priced one isn't currently available on Amazon. Their website: http://aa-comps(DOT)com

my friend plays LoL on the highest settings possible, i also have an extra 4 gb's of RAM, but it can definitely play Lol on high. I dont have WoW so i can't say if it can handle it or not. This laptop can also play battlefield 3 on medium and Star Wars the Old Republic on low settings.

I don't game, if you are a casual gamer maybe, if your a serious gamer you probably wouldn't of asked! for $400 it works well, a good game card (GPU) start @ $250, hope this helps.

The reason we brought this computer is because of the large capacity graphic card which we find will run any game program out there. We are most satisfied with this computer over some computers we brought in the past. I rate it a very top buy. You will not be disappointed running games and it is almost up to the standards of X-Box in ability to run games, not quite but close.

Sorry I can't be too much help here but I'm not much of a gamer. I mainly used this computer for more business applications. I can tell you that I tried to use it (and another HP) for my DJ business and it performed horrible with the software. I couldn't get it to work right at all, it kept skipping on songs and randomly "popping" along with other problems. I was in a pinch one night at a birthday party and ended up using my wife's 300 dollar bottom of the line Gateway computer and it performed 100% better than this HP. I used to love HP but now I cannot recommend them. Hope this helps.

Not at all.This is a terrible computer.I bought it upgraded the ram and hard drive and it barely ran.Heated super fast and could not run any game I threw at it.Buy a PC laptop if you're looking for a gaming laptop.

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.

Yea, I have a very similar pc as yours. It runs very well. It can run almost all the major games. I often play LOL and it runs very smoothly at the highest settings. But make sure you have a >= 400 watts power supply. My dell came with a 320 watts without an extra plug for graphic card. So I also changed my power supply.

I don't do games. This computer seems to do well with memory. It has on board graphics and it doesn't have room for expansion cards if you need better. Super graphics seems to be important to gamers. It has worked well for me doing video and audio recording and editing, accounting and publications with picture editing.

My guy has played Starcraft on it and says it runs slower/the graphics were better on his old gaming computer, but he added a graphics card and it runs smoothly now. But no, I would not recommend this computer for gaming as is.

I recomend you the newer model (Toshiba Satellite S855-S5170). I love my computer but it aint a gaming computer. It has a intel graphic controller. When I try to play a game it kicks to the desktop.

I think it will run your games great. I have install two of these in new computers and they run the high end games that the person wanted to run.

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.
