I play world of Warcraft on it, works good but not as good as my Alienware.

No, for gaming you would want a dedicated GPU (graphics card) which this does not have.

Absolutely. That's what it's meant for. With its high quality NIC, sound card, overclocking features, SLI/CF support, etc... it's completely designed to be used for gaming and it's been working very well for me.

Oh yes. Definitely good for games. I play TF2, Minecraft, Tekkit, and various other steam games. They all run great. For the price this is definitely the best gaming laptop out there. I actually got it for 375 (not including tax) at Best Buy as an open box deal! I suggest looking there.

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

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!

It's good for playing basic games that do not require a lot of RAM or CPU. It's not great for graphics-intensive games. Also good for reading goods, especially thanks to the SD card slot.

Yes, it will run, but don't push the settings. If you're into heavy gaming, your system may become unstable.

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

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.

Oh yes, this processor is GREAT for gaming. I am playing all the latest games, with settings set to ULTRA, and having no issues. I also have a GTX780 video card. Games look stunning and play with high FPS. I am not overclocking the processor or the video card.

I play video games.. so far so good with this. Of course you cant expect the highest setting for high-spec game such as Assassin's Creed : Unity, as it just provide about 20 fps. I think its a good for a budget pc setup :)

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).

The short answer is no. Mine came with 750 meg of ram and I had to upgrade that just to run the programs for my job. Its good for word processing and basic web surfing but I don't think it would be good for games.

Yes, it's worth every penny! Runs great and excellent for gaming. I definitely recommend it.

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

It's fairly good. It can run swtor on max and can also run minecraft with shaders with no lag. It's a very good card for the price.
