Has anyone tried playing League of Legends on it? I have read that games are a no-no with this laptop. How does it handle gaming in general?

I play DOTA2 on low.in the bios you can give up to 512Mb of ram to the video card. it also has an empty ram space so you can add 4 more Gb of ram.

Lol will run fine on mid to low settings as will most other non graphics heavy games.

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.

Hi . The only game that i have played is starcraft 2 and it seems to be running ok. But i think that you need a pc with better graphic card.

I play world of Warcraft on it, works good but not as good as my Alienware.

No. It's a great laptop but not for gaming. I got it for my father who only browses the web and checks email.

Hi. Its really thin and light, no doubt about that. I bought this laptop only because I did not get anything cheap with that thin and light ultrabook look. But, regarding gaming: i have no clue, but this laptop is on the slower side in terms of configuration. Maybe its the processing speed or RAM or its just because of Windows 8. I don't at all like its Speed.

Yeah. I use it exclusively for gaming. Works pretty good. What do I play? BF3, 4, Hawken, CoDs, Crysis 2, 3 and some UT3. For something that's 20 bucks, it aint bad. If it breaks, I'll just go buy another one. I use a Logitech EX110 for work purposes. What's my game stuff? Intel i7 3770 cpu, Asus P8z77-V LK motherboard, WD 2.5 Velociraptor HDD, XFX HD7950 gpu, G.Skill 16gb 19200 ram, Corsair RM750 psu, Corsair H100i liquid cooler.

I would say no laptop is good for gaming. Those that are good enough for playing anything new, or with any degree of quality would be too bulky or too pricy to afford. That being said if you aren't planning on playing the latest triple A games (Call of Duty, Titan fall, etc.) the laptop is fine for playing games. Though it will run hot since it has an integrated GPU. I got Diablo 3 running, but I need to play it on a table with a cooling pad, and with medium graphics settings.

I run it for basic usage, not for gaming. The scree is shiny to me. and I watch video on youtube, for my personal feeling, the screen is OK.The laptop's weak-point (for most Acer laptop), when you type the keyboard, sometimes the focus jump away.

I would also like to know about gaming on this laptop. I'm looking into a new laptop for myself, and as a gamer I would like to know how well games perform on this PC.

If you like gaming ,it is a very good laptop for you, but you will feel the game is stumble if you don't link the charger. I also play game.Do you know the DOTA2. It is the game that I am playing.

I would say it's decent for gaming. I have loaded Star Wars:Empire at War and C&C Generals loaded on mine and thet play perfectly. Display runs at 1920x1080 without any problems. My only complaints is that the fan will run at full speed when playing and sounds like a jet engine

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.

Oh yes. Definitely good for games. I play TF2, Minecraft, Tekkit, and various other steam games. They all run great. For the price this is definitely the best gaming laptop out there. I actually got it for 375 (not including tax) at Best Buy as an open box deal! I suggest looking there.

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.

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.

The PC runs very well on every game that I have tried so far. Although, the two things I do not like on this laptop itself is the wireless card and the resolution of the laptop. The wireless card built in cannot connect as well to the area's wifi than my own wireless USB adapter, which I bought myself, since I knew beforehand that the wireless card on the laptop was not that great. I get about 3 bars with the laptop's built in wireless card, while my USB adapter gets about 5 bars of connectivity. The resolution of the laptop cannot be changed, but I do wish it was a bit larger. I plan on being an external monitor or just save up for a better laptop in the future. Some games are unable to go full screen, but I can manage for the mean time. Other than that, the laptop is capable of being used for gaming. Hope this helps!
