is it good for gaming?

Most games rely mainly on processor power and seeing that this laptop has an AMD 2.7 GHz it should run most modern games at high (maybe not extreme) settings. Not to mention the turbo boost which activates automatically when needed. 4 GB of ram is the average amount needed to run most games today so it should be fine, however I personally recommend upgrading it to 8 GB when you get it. You can do this yourself or bring it to a computer shop.

It is a smooth running laptop but as for its gaming performance I can't comment. It's not really designed for it. I use it for work and casual web surfing

I have not used it for gaming at all but it is a bit slower than my regular laptop. It would probably need a fast internet connection to be good for gaming. Plus, the screen being so small might also make gaming difficult. Hope that helps!

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

Hi. Really, this is a good computer. Yes, is decent for gaming purpose but....only for gaming?, I use my g7 for scientific and engineering purposes, because this is a powerful system. The games inside this one, specially mah jong, are very nice. Mah jong has a relaxant sounds, so you put on earphones and enjoy the sounds while you are playing. pavilion g7-2220us is a decent laptop not only for gaming, but other purposes. Buy it and enjoy!

I am pretty sure that I understand what you mean and the answer is yes. That is what I use it for. I am not sure how it will work with gaming, as I use it on a work computer.

You'll want a better graphics chip for gaming. It could probably run, but not terribly well.

This should be good for gaming. With good signal strength and once it connects it stays connect (at 2.4 gHz). The 5gHz connection is terrible for this card.

In my opinion. It is not the best computer for gaming. All though it does work ok. My brother is a huge mine craft fan and he said that it was slightly slow. It still is good though. Alienware computers are expensive. But they are the best for gaming.

Yeah of course. Besides running programs on it, I also use it to play starcraft 2. The game runs at ultra quality with no problem.

Gaming requires a strong processor, excellent graphics resolution and speed. This laptop has an i5 64-bit processor which is very good. However, out of a 9.9 scale, it only achieves moderate desktop graphics rating of 5.0; 3D and gaming rating is 6.4. The screen resolution is only 1600 x 900 rather than the more desirable 1920x1080. So, it's probably not the best gamer laptop.

yes its good for gaming, the k indicates that it can be overclocked, also it allows for pci express 3.0 connections for your graphics cardsMost motherboards work well with it, I've personally used two asus x79 boards and can recommend both, the sabertooth x79 and rampage 4 extreme

Yes, it would be great for gaming with an additional good graphics card. EVGA makes some really nice ones for not much money.

This has a good deal of memory and reasonable processor speed. It also has a great resolution with an excellent screen.Unless you are a hardcore gamer, it should be fine.

Hi Wendy, Apologies for the slowness in response. The laptop is a good, inexpensive laptop for using basic services but not really a gaming laptop.
