So far it handled everything quite well for me. It is recommended to search and update drivers from time to time even if windows update doesn't show the update.

When playing a heavy game, the laptop can get hot however there is a "super fan" button that you can press to increase the RPM for the fans that is pretty noisy but gets the job done. I've never had an issue with the laptop overheating. The sceen quality is really great, colors are vibrant, even games which are older look really great with this laptop.

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.

We have this card and it does very well with counter strike and various FPS intense games. No issues yet.

It isn't significant running in typical environments. System intense rendering can get that fan humming but it still isn't annoying. I control the fan while running Bootcamp and crank it to max when gaming and only then is it very loud. However I am okay with that cause you need to keep a card cool for gaming.

Works great to me. It feels marginally simulated if you're closely paying attention but in the heat of an FPS, I never even notice. My brain automatically tells my fingers where the target is and I turn and it's always right where it "sounded" like it was. If you test it by listening to a fixed sound source and rotate it around you and listen carefully, you can tell it's simulated particularly at the transition points (such as front right to mid right, mid right to rear right, etc.). I'm an audiophile and quite picky about my sound but find the simulation more than acceptable. It isn't flawless but to save money, size and weight, it works great and like I said, in the heat of it, it's dead on which is all that matters to me.

I'm using it at apprx 5.5cfm and it's fine. Could go more but I've never needed to. I run it at 125psi

Faster than what?You should be able to play without a problem. It depends on your graphics card though. I overclocked mine without any issues too. It is an old processor now. Hard to find motherboards for it.

Probaby on low settings. But, it's not really meant for gaming imo. Of any sort.

Extremely well, though I do recommend allocating some virtual RAM. I can run Sony Vegas, iTunes, and Firefox all at the same time with no lag.

I use it for both things! 3D Modelling/Rendering and also Gaming. Let me tell you it works like a charm in both scenarios. Runs any game at maxed settings without breaking a sweat. Also, really really silent while doing so.

I just installed half life 2 on this and it plays smoothly (25-30FPS even during combat) at 1366 x 768 with a mix of medium and high detail (Looks great!). It can handle games just not the newest and most graphic intensive ones. Mind you I haven't upgraded to 4GB of memory yet so I'm sure it will be even better then.

Absolutely! (Make sure it's plugged in though or it will die in 30 minutes) Generally I pull about 65-70 FPS when playing, but at rough points the lowest I've dipped is 25-30 it's no desktop but it'll get the job done. I also have no doubts that it will keep up with Battlefield 4 when it comes out.

Yes. I have it in my PC and I use Photoshop, various 3D modelling programs, and games extensively. My setup is benchmarked at >1800, iirc, and handles most games at >100 FPS. Doesn't flinch at my other utilities either. I do have a lot of other powerful stuff in here though.
