Is this computer good for gaming?

I would look at one with a better video card and a SSD to be on the safe side.

I don't use the computer for gaming but, as I said in my review, this is a good computer for home computing. I'm pleased with the speed for basic household applications and internet, but I think you would be disappointed in it as a gaming machine.

I do not do "gaming" and have little experience of it. Have a feeling though that if I did and wanted to be serious about it, I'd get something with more "horsepower". Good Luck! Hope it helps.

No. great for MahJong, but the I3 cannot compare to the I5 or7. The computer is great for media and office.I think you would not be happy if you are very competitive.

It runs games fairly well but not new games like Witcher 3 of Gta 5. You would need to upgrade a few parts

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.

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

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.

Probably not. The CPU is really good, but the graphics card will probably need to be upgraded to play SWOR on High. For it's price, it's a good computer to play on Medium.

yes, you can use it for gaming as well. The graphics card will suffer only a slight degradation of performance from the use of the 1x slot.

I would say not...it is a good basic laptop, at least for me, but I would say very unlikely to handle gaming

I think it will run your games great. I have install two of these in new computers and they run the high end games that the person wanted to run.

I would assume that it is. It suits my needs perfectly, but I'm not a gamer. The added processor & memory sure can't hurt.

It is a good starter CPU and as long as you play either older or less intensive games, it will do just fine until you need to upgrade. Alternatively, I have heard good things from Intel Processors, so it may be useful to look into some of those at the price ranges you are looking for.

I would not use it for gaming. A more powerful CPU with a more powerful graphics card is required for gaming. It is, however, excellent for day-to-day computing needs.

Hi John. This computer could be a decent gaming machine if you do the following. Add a 64 bit OS to it. Then add like 8GB of ram. Now your talking! However your card with an i5 or i7. Is insane dual core processors vs quad cores for gaming will produce a lot more frames per seconds. I hope that helped and sorry for the typos.

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

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.
