I pretty much use my laptop for internet surfing, facebook games, and reading my kindle app. So would this be a good laptop for that?

The laptop is perfectly right for that. In fact, it generally is a great computer. The only negative I can give you is the mouse pad. It can get annoying sometimes, but you just have to learn what the subtle touches can do.

Yes. The screen detaches and has its own built in battery. I read my kindle app on it, but the one drawback is that it has no kickstand and is heavier than your normal readier.

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.

It would work, but it's kind of slow - even when doing things like just web surfing and opening files. You could spend a little more and get something with noticeably better performance, and you would be happier. But if this is all you can afford, I think it's not a bad choice.

This is a good computer and facebook games do not demand much from a PC from a technical stand point, so technically, a cheaper $300 netbook will do the trick there. If you want actual gaming (Counter Strike, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, F.E.A.R. ETC) then you need a different PC since this one has very limited upgrades due to it's small/compact size. If you need a strong Notebook/Laptop for gaming, go with a 15" alienware/dell or a 15' HP

Really depends on what applications you need, it is fine for browsing and can run office apps--but is NOT a workhorse.

Yes but it won't have the highest performance. Good for web browsing and emails.

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.

Maybe, though you might consider a cheap chrome laptop for student work, if you expect to be writing very much, doing much research. OTOH, if you are likely to use it mostly for reading, calendar, texting, music, it might be a good bet.

It is not made for gaming. It is fine for internet, emails, and school work.

Not what sure what you are asking about. This is a basic lightweight laptop that does not support Windows. It is good for E-mails, web searching and web purchases There are many games on it but I have only tried a few. It has been crashing on me a lot lately and I have had to reset it. I bought it a year or so ago with and purchased an extended warranty which I may use before it expires in Dec. rather than trying to fix it or have it sent back to be fixed.

I use it for games on games.com and facebook. I love this notebook. nicer than my Dell by a mile.

I'm not a gamer nor am I a PC expert by any means but I don't think this laptop is something I would consider a "gaming" PC. My opinion is that it's for everyday use for activities like personal finance, MS Office, internet browsing and jus general use. I'm sure it can run games but not games requiring high graphics capabilities etc.

No. A laptop is a bad investment, from a performance standpoint - if you want performance, get a small form factor desktop.

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.

It is "graphics challenged" so as long as you aren't seeking to do anything too taxing it will do just fine. This is an Atom processor with 2GB of RAM...it's a FLAT PANEL NETBOOK...would you consider a Netbook (functionality wise) for your use? If so..then yes this will work.. If not you'll need something else.

I use this laptop strictly for work and general web browsing. I do not do any gaming with it. Other reviews I read prior to purchasing it, said that it is not the ideal machine for gamers. Hope this helps....
