Your son won't be able to play a lot of the current games on this system.. if you want a gaming netbook you might look at one with dual cpus. this one is more oriented towards web and media consumption

I'm waiting for some reviews as well before I take the plunge. Newegg already has a few reviews, but not very in depth. I'll be watching that site, as well as Amazon, for some reviews for this product.

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).

My Little Guy is three and loves the InnoTab. The innoTab has a huge assortment of programs in varying age ranges. I think at the age of 8 I might start my Little Guy out on the laptop though and keep a close eye on him. That's just my opinion though.Leslie

I don't have the problem. I'm not sure what the percentage is. If you can find another netbook that meets your needs, that's an option. I'm very happy with my choice.

I can't honestly say, it is fine for Internet and watching videos, but whether it's fast enough for Any serious gaming? I have no idea. Probably a stretch. It is obviously more powerful than any Windows 8 tablet but this is far from a desktop replacement. I really like it so far for surfing the net. The touch screen works well and screen resolution is fine for average users. But this is basically an entry level Lenovo after all.

Netbooks aren't made for gaming, most games nowadays take at least 2-3gigs of ram to run, and I've never seen a netbook with a disc drive so dvds are out of the question.

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.

The laptop works pretty good for multimedia! for gaming its ok but it could be better! I haven't installed any of the good games yet, however I try regular games and like I said is ok. I think the RAM can be upgrade!

Effectively this is an old laptop. As far as I know gamers want the latest, greatest, fastest, with huge memory and probably solid-state hard-disk. Video should be 'dedicated graphics' (should show as a separate high-end video card in the device manager). If you have a desktop with no video card and you use the ONBOARD VIDEO, that is 'integrated graphics'. Video Editing ok, but not gaming. I have a Z77 chipset, i5 chip, 32gb memory, onboard video, SSD (desktop, not my Gateway). I would add a high-end video card if I started gaming. Talk to a hard-core gamer, so you don't regret a purchase.

my son has had no problems with this laptop. He is a heavy gamer and does digital design. He picked it out for Christmas because no one else could ever please him to pick out a computer for him. He uses it for autocadd too.

Not what sure what you are asking about. This is a basic lightweight laptop that does not support Windows. It is good for E-mails, web searching and web purchases There are many games on it but I have only tried a few. It has been crashing on me a lot lately and I have had to reset it. I bought it a year or so ago with and purchased an extended warranty which I may use before it expires in Dec. rather than trying to fix it or have it sent back to be fixed.

Netbooks are good for basic web surfing or typing, but not for games. I have an Asus 1000He for about 3 months now. I tried many games on it. Most of them run very slowly or don't start at all. I think it can handle games before 2000, but that's about it. You should consider a bigger laptop with a discrete graphic.

If he has been around any type of video games i.e. DS etc... It is just like an android phone without the phone feature. If he has played games on a cell phone then he should be fine. I wanted to keep all of electronics on the same platform is why I choose this for my son. It is a little slow on the boot up. But you have access to both Google Play and Amazon apps which gives you a lot more choices. The other thing is is that I get a weekly report of usage and downloads via email. Hope this helps.

Trying to get info about this new netbook is like pulling teeth. Does this netbook have a .3Mp webcam or 1.3mp. Is there a manual available for the netbook? If so, is it available on line?

Sorry, I forgot I had received this request! The processor is an Intel so it does use the full version Windows 8.1. The processor is essentially the Z2760 processor however which is the updated Atom CPU originally designed for Netbooks. Reasonably quick. I purchased this for my mother to use (90 yrs) and it has served her well. I have considered purchasing one for our house too, but we have plenty of PCs and tablets around the house at is! I would recommend purchasing a Office 360 license, if you need Office on the tablet. Cost is pretty reasonable and if you have multiple PCs and tablets around, the same license can be used on up to 5 of them. Sorry, I forgot I had received this request!

I bought it for my father-in-law, so I'm not using it all the time. But... I'm thinking it may be that good as a gaming machine. - it does have a good-sized hard drive and a decent processor, but it doesn't have the high end video card that would be best for gaming. It seems to be a good computer and the price was good though.
