Is this laptop for gaming?

No. It handles internet fine and MMORPGs like WoW and Aura Kingdom were alright. However, I would not recommend this laptop for gaming.

It does okay for 2D indie games on steam, but choked through X-com. Wouldn't recommend for serious gaming.

No this is very basic computer, a very good model but graphics, processing and memory are no where near what you would need for gaming. this model is good for getting online, watching shows online and storage of pictures and documents, and some basic computing programs. search for gaming models.

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.

Yes. Skyrim should work well on this laptop. I currently play World of Warcraft and haven't had any issues. The requirements don't differ much.

Hi Terrance, Do you mean for a laptop for gaming? If so then yes! I love this little lap desk for anything! Reading, homework, eating, etc.

No and no! This is definitely not a gaming laptop, it couldn't handle it. It's more of an everyday task type of computer. Mine is still doing great after a year!

It's OK for gaming. My boy has been using it to play games on his ChromeBook.

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.

Yes it can. In fact it can play games better than most laptops of its generation due to the included dedicated graphics processor.

I have been researching laptops for a few weeks, with intent to purchase. The Lenovo site groups this model in with gaming. If you can upgrade the ram, it should be a commendable all-purpose/gaming machine.

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.

Yes! It's a standard laptop. I wouldn't recommend it being used for graphically intensive programs, but it can run pretty much anything.

I think this laptop is designed for playing games and watching movies or sth, so it is good for games, but not the biggest ones which need very high hardware configuration. For normal work, I think it is suitable too.

To answer your question ... It depends. I purchased this laptop for my nephew who is a student and using the internet for online class activity. It is not a very fast machine and I would not recommend it for gaming. But for internet usage which depends more on your connection speed, it meets his needs.

Depends on what you mean by "gaming"? This is a netbook with a 1.0 Ghz cpu with Turbo to 1.3 Ghz for two cores. It has the equivalent of a Radeon HD 6200 series video card. It is very good for internet browsing, e-mail, typical office tasks and very good for watching streaming video. If the game is internet-based and doesn't require a high-powered cpu and video card then it should be perfectly adequate.
