is this a good computer for a teenaged gamer?

I don't think so. It has plenty of power for standard uses but I think gamers need more. Do more research. I'm not the best to answer.

No. What you are looking for may be a bit more expensive. The teen would probably be unhappy with the Intel HD graphics, as they only provide limited functionality for that type of use. I would instead go for a computer that is a BYOS (build your own system). This way, costs are kept down and performance is higher.

No this is very basic computer, a very good model but graphics, processing and memory are no where near what you would need for gaming. this model is good for getting online, watching shows online and storage of pictures and documents, and some basic computing programs. search for gaming models.

Yes and yes. It's a fast machine. But you'll need a graphic's card if you want to play most games. I don't play on mine, but I have a friend that does.

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.

This computer is fast and also isn't that good for gaming. The graphics card is kind of crappy. Depending upon what type of hard drive you have . . . You could open up the case and plug in your old hard drive. OR you could transfer it through your network. . . Google would have detailed instructions as well.

Absolutely not. If you want to run those sort of games then you will either need to build yourself a computer for about $800 (which includes peripherals and a monitor) or buy one of the $1000+ computers. If you were to get this computer, then you would need to immediately upgrade the graphics card. And if you upgrade the graphics card, then your computer will only be as fast as the slowest component which would be your processor. This processor is a quad core processor, but it is slow for its class.

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.

Not at all. This laptop is more for surfing the net, spread sheets, word processing, ect. My grandson can play angry birds games, but it's not good for adult games with more involved graphics.

Depends. I've only tried minecraft on it and it works pretty good with a few settings changed. I don't really think that this is a "full fledged" gaming computer, though

I love this computer. I play online games such as world of warcraft and diablo on the highest setting with absolutely no lag. Im sure your son will love it!

It's a very basic PC good for typing, surfing light gaming and office documents. Not for heavy gaming

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.

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.

This is good computer for light computing. Facebook games will probably be fine. I have found this is the best value for a good computer.

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

no you are better off getting something with a better graphic card. the card on this machine is good but not great. try the 18 inch way better card.
