Is it good for gaming, not hardcore all-out but easy and not to stressful games? Does it run pretty fast?

Well, I guess I'm going to disappoint you. I'm retired and I don't play games. It starts up in about 30 sec, it runs pretty fast and I can do everything I need from skating the net to processing pictures with Photo shop to making spreadsheets and writing letters. I haven't tried is using AutoCADD on it yet.(I don't do that much with it anymore). The only thing that I haven't figured out yet is Win 8. I think I'd like to have my XP back or maybe Win 7. I surely can't complain about the computer though.

I'm really not much of a gamer myself but it should be good enough for non stressful games.

I definitely would not recommend for gaming. I use it on my desktop at work. It is fine for that, but it does pause quite a bit at times.

it is OK for mild gaming. if you want an APU that is Good for gaming, get either the newer Kaverti A8-7600 as a minimum, or any Richland or Kaverti A10 (ex. A10-6800k).

Yes, runs very well with gaming. I don't use it for online game play much,but I do have new current games on it now and runs as smooth as my ps4

I would say not...it is a good basic laptop, at least for me, but I would say very unlikely to handle gaming

Honestly, I can say that it isn't spectacular for gaming. I tried to play the new Far Cry on it and it was lagging so bad that I couldn't play it. It can play games like Skyrim and Fallout. But then again those games aren't that new.

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

While it has the performance to play most modern day games, it doesnt reach its peak capabilities due to the graphics card. If you are looking for gaming, its recommended to get a resolution of 1920x1080 and a graphics cards that is a Nvidia GeForce gtx model of the series rather than an nvidia geforce gt. Only problem is the cost will be. much higher, so if this is in your budget, this isn't a bad choice

I am not an avid gamer. I use this laptop mostly for rendering video edits an blender scenes. But with the porting of the Steam client to Linux I have tried X3:Albion Prelude. Must say it rocks. One thing, I did find that adding another six Gig of RAM helped tremendously. Overall, no complaints for me, but my gaming sample is very limited. If you are really into heavy gaming, your mileage may vary.

I have not been playing games with it, but it is fast regarding graphics. Cheers.

It is a Quad core and it handles everything just fine, even under fairly intense graphical processing. You might want to bump up the ram for hardcore gaming, but works just fine with little slowdown on anything but the most intense graphical processing.

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

yes, it will run games, but it's not going to give extreme details or all the sparkles of a gaming rig. it's more of a multi-media/work station type machine. i upgraded the ram to 8gig, and it is a sweet machine!

No, I wouldn't recommend it for gaming. It is best used as a family low graphics laptop.

Yeah should be able to run easy, mines an i7 3770 and only 8gb ram and it runs perfectly.

I've played League of Legends on it, doesn't lag. I haven't downloaded steam on it yet...But im pretty sure it can handle it..might lag a little I fyou want a gaming laptop, get a lenovo, msi or asus.

Yes, it'll play any source games like CSGO and TF2 perfectly fine, even at high graphics. You'll get around 200-300 fps in quiet areas if not much is going on, and maybe you'll get around 30 fps if you happen to find yourself in an area with like 12 people all running around spamming grenades and other explosives.
