Ubuntu is a Linux operating system. I've used Ubuntu since 2005 and love it. You can download firefox -- that's what I use. You could also download Chrome if you wanted. I'm not a gamer so I can't answer that question.

It comes with Firefox installed already. However, for some reason it doesn't feed firefox through the HDMI cable. I don't download games. Ubuntu is the OS in lieu of MS.

Ubuntu is a Linux OS. So, you can download games, but through the Ubuntu repository, NOT from just any place. Firefox comes preloaded. If gaming is your thing, you should probably consider going with Windows. In any case, you should probably research Linux if you have any doubts. Ubuntu/Linux is great, but it's not Windows.

Ok for games, although realize its laptop performance & display. Ubuntu is a graphical equivalent to Windows/Macintosh, just for Linux. Great laptop. Firefox comes with it.

Hi sterling. Do buy it. I bought mac just after i bought this because this thing gave a lot of hard time and that was mostly because of the Ubuntu and not the notebook. Also, Ipad mini is cheaper and far more functional than this.Cheers.Rashed

Firefox comes standard. Ubuntu is a Linux operating system instead of Windows or Mac OS. If you dont know how to use it, it can be a bit of a challenge at first with all the commands but there are TONS of videos on YouTube to learn how to use it. It is OK for games but it is NOT very powerful. You get what you pay for. I have mine to run a 3D Printer I designed and built and it works great for that. For graphics intense games you will not get what you want. If they are not very intense it should be OK. There are plenty of ports and can hook a big monitor to it if you want.

Ubuntu is the Linux based operating system, like Windows is the Microsoft operating system. Firefox is included in Ubuntu. This operating system works on tablets, pc's and phones. As for games you need to check them. I am very fond of Linux operating systems because the upgrades, etc are always free. That being said, if you are not computer savvy you may want to stick with Windows or Apple products.

I don't know about playing games. Ubunto is a Linux distribution and it has Firefox pre-installed. For the price I thought it to be a good deal.

This netbook is good only for low-power games - the more popular games require more computing power and better video capabilities than this netbook has. Ubuntu is the operating system (similar to but not the same as Android or Windows), and it has specific drawbacks (e.g. you cannot run the Kindle app on this, there are many popular apps that will not run on it). You can download and install Firefox. The sole intention for this netbook is to enable the user to access the internet. Response is very slow. There are frequent times when the internet connect will fail and have to be reset.

This computer is ideal for travelling. It runs linux but adds in the drivers needed to have it work perfectly right out of the box. I love it. But I am not a gamer. I doubt that this computer has the power to run games with the speed that gamers desire.

Ubunto is an user friendly linux distribution. firefox is already installed, you can download chrome, but for what it comcerns explorere, it can be done but there is some work to do. This applies to games too: if they are not made for linux (and sometimes even if they are, you have to work a bit. If you plan to do some morpg with heavy graphics i would say to forget about it: isually to play you have to have a virtual window machine (something that fakes your pc is running windows) and this is heavy enough on the ram

its decent for it. its got integrated graphics which kinda sucks, but itll play things like skyrim on low settings, if you want to use that as a benchmark. i havent noticed any overheating problem. i personally use it for gaming as im a twitch streamer and this is my main rig atm.i havent really tried newer games on it as much. it has slowdown with dolphin (gamecube/wii emulator) but runs things like Skullgirls no problem.

This helps a lot. However, there is still the question about the functionality. Is it worth the price to surf and play games versus a few more dollars and getting an inexpensive laptop. Maybe by the time software comes out to support this device it will be worth it.

I play runescape and other games on it for 10 to 12 hours a day. If your going to play anything higher end I would suggest if you got it to put more ram in then 6gb otherwise I havent had too many issues with games. I do facebook, sims3, runescape, tera online, and a few other mmorpg games.

It's a great little machine, but it is NOT gamer capable. That's totally not the market this is focused at - think of this thing as a modern "netbook". It's fine for browsing the web and general "office" apps, but you aren't going to want to run anything beyond web-based games on it.

To me this is a fast computer! I don't play video games. It will certainly be quite good for your school work. Suggest that you look at your video game site and see what the specifications are, then cross check here with the information that Amazon provides. The Toshiba site also has good information and I checked it several times while I was deciding which computer would be right for me. There should be an 800 number on that site.

Not really. Games run, but many slow. My client uses it for email and web mostly. Not a gamer.

Hi Tyler yes you can play some games, but some of the games requires good video card and I believed these laptops should have 128mb or 256mb video on board so you have to check with your games what is the requirement Thank you

Depends on what kind of games you want to play, but my guess is that it won't work well. The processor is very limited, which is great when serving movies, music and pictures, but anything remotely difficult, such as rendering game images, and you'll run into problems.

The games a little kid would play should probably run fine on this. Flash games that you find on websites should also have no trouble. However, if they require a CD or DVD for installation, then you might have trouble since these laptops all lack those optical drives. Dont expect to play any "serious" games on it, though (the kind an older kid would want).

Not gooood per se, but it plays some basic things pretty well. I played Portal, Mount and Blade Warband, Faster Than Light, Cavestory and vanilla Minecraft (esp. windows 10 edition) all without a hitch.

It plays game apps very well. You can also buy a Bluetooth game controller for it. As for game emulators is concerned, I don't know. I haven't used any on this device

It has a standard Ubuntu install, so if you can install it in Ubuntu, you have it on the Utilite

For me, it plays games like Wolfenstein (bought from steam) and other purchased games with no problem at all. It's really good with hirez games bought From steam.

In summary You can download Xubuntu or whatever its called now from the kodi site and install it on the machine from a usb stick.However, there are better products out there now and this one has not been sold for a while.
