Can this be used for gaming?

Effectively this is an old laptop. As far as I know gamers want the latest, greatest, fastest, with huge memory and probably solid-state hard-disk. Video should be 'dedicated graphics' (should show as a separate high-end video card in the device manager). If you have a desktop with no video card and you use the ONBOARD VIDEO, that is 'integrated graphics'. Video Editing ok, but not gaming. I have a Z77 chipset, i5 chip, 32gb memory, onboard video, SSD (desktop, not my Gateway). I would add a high-end video card if I started gaming. Talk to a hard-core gamer, so you don't regret a purchase.

Yes, you can, but not for games... Just normal use... The graphic card is weak but works :)

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

I doubt it! This thing is super basic and struggles with Youtube, so gaming would be frustrating.

I would not use it for gaming. A more powerful CPU with a more powerful graphics card is required for gaming. It is, however, excellent for day-to-day computing needs.

Don't buy it for gaming. It is an enterprise server. CPU and Memory configuration is not optimized for gaming. Plus it won't take gaming video cards at all. And the server is fairly loud. So unless you are setting up a gaming server, this is not a product for you.

Absoltely not. This is an android based system that does not have those capabilities. If you are looking for something that does gaming this is the wrong machine. You get what you pay for.

I'm not sure if I would recommend it for games that require higher specs but I play games like Counter-Strike : Source, DOTA 2, Fallout without any problems. It handles well for not being a so called gaming laptop.

not if you expect to do any graphics or game playing. the bandwidth is not sufficent and it is not driven by your graphics card.

Absolutely. That's what it's meant for. With its high quality NIC, sound card, overclocking features, SLI/CF support, etc... it's completely designed to be used for gaming and it's been working very well for me.

I would not recommend you to buy this computer to play online games for the main purpose. Graphic card is slow.

I am not 100% positive, but I think not, if so, like the previous responder says, probably wouldn't suggest getting this one for that usage. its more for game playing and internet perusing.

Yes, this should do more than fine for gaming. I own it and haven't had any problems.

it depends of what kind of gaming. If is not an advanced game, it will work, but not for those "heavy" games.

I wouldn't recommend it - this is not really a gaming laptop. If you can get it to run, you'll have to set all the settings down.

No, for gaming you would want a dedicated GPU (graphics card) which this does not have.
