No... I wouldn't game on this laptop. Modern games usually require a more powerful processor.

Not at all.This is a terrible computer.I bought it upgraded the ram and hard drive and it barely ran.Heated super fast and could not run any game I threw at it.Buy a PC laptop if you're looking for a gaming laptop.

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 wouldn't recommend it as a gaming machine, I would find a better graphics card setup and faster processor.

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

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.

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.

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

According to the Runescape Wiki, this computer would give you a good frame rate. Still, this is NOT a gaming computer. You will not be able to run Skyrim on High or Ultra graphics on this PC, and that game is over 2.5 years old now. Thus, I say with confidence that this computer will suffer as you do now when the next Runescape-style game comes out in the next couple of years. You will then need to upgrade the video card, power supply, and possibly add more RAM. Or simply replace it. I would say it is not worth the investment.

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

Yes, this PC is better than your average store bought PC. This PC can perform very well for any situation except playing the newest games in max resolution.

I'm not sure if I would recommend it for games that require higher specs but I play games like Counter-Strike : Source, DOTA 2, Fallout without any problems. It handles well for not being a so called gaming laptop.

It is not a good computer if you are a serious gamer. For simple games it will do.

According to my 13 year old gamer son who we bought this computer for, though he does not play guild wars, he checked into it and believes it is capable of playing on this computer. He is a minecrafter and does experience some occasional lag but it does fine otherwise. It's been a good gaming computer for the price.

It depends on your needs. Home business, office work, school, or just for fun? It's a powerful computer, and for average use works very well!! If you want something that also games well, you will need to have a better video card installed. Otherwise for the money you can't beat this computer! :)

It's great for gaming. Best computer on the market right now for the price point it's at.

This is a good computer though, i would recommend to play this for gaming because i7 lets you make and play smoother games such as. cod or black ops, and if intel hd 3000 has i7 core, you will max out settings. this is a i7 quad core processor

its good enough to play up to date games with settings just below best graphics and perform without any lag. and you can always purchase a better graphics card in the future
