can this laptop be used for gaming?

Depends on the game. Not Minecraft, COD, or Titanfall, but maybe TF2 or Garry's Mod.

Yes. I don't do gaming personally but my husband has the same laptop and he definitely does gaming on it. He loves it except for some games, it seems to be a bit confusing to download some games.

I have not used it for gaming at all but it is a bit slower than my regular laptop. It would probably need a fast internet connection to be good for gaming. Plus, the screen being so small might also make gaming difficult. Hope that helps!

no, it simply would not do any good for gaming. For gaming you would need at the very minimum 4-8 GBs of RAM (this has 1 GB RAM which is very bad especially for gaming) and about 3.1GHz or an Intel Core i3 / Intel Core i5 hope this helps :)

Yes it can, I use it as a daily computer during the week and for gaming on the weekend.

I suppose it depends what you mean by "well" but considering it has integrated graphics rather than a dedicated video card and only 4 gig of RAM, I would say no. I have not tried to run these games so I cannot say for sure, but this is certainly not a gaming laptop. You could check the minimum system requirements for the games you're interested in and find out for sure.

Yes it can handle World of Warcraft but it still depends on the system requirement of the game that you will run into this laptop.

cant say for sure since I haven't used it for Gaming, However I would say yes since it is a very responsive computer with the factory standard 4 gig memory and I believe it can be upgraded to 8 gig which would definitely do the trick.

I seriously doubt it. It's an older model Notebook isn't it? Unless they've got a lot of newer upgrades on it These newer games have a lot of greedy graphics on them, that this notebook might not be able to handle.

I am sorry to tell you this but this laptop is certainly not for gaming. If you want to play games like Call of Duty Ghosts etc, you are going to have to pay at least triple the cost of this laptop. with a 1.86 GHz processor, you are getting netbook-like performance. (not good for gaming). If you want a laptop that can play Call of Duty Ghosts, I would recommend this one: ASUS ROG G750JW 17-Inch Gaming Laptop [OLD VERSION]

Yes I believe so. I use it for extreme gaming with no issues. You can also search the web for processor comparisons and performance. I chose this PC because it has good processor performance and price point. see: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/laptop.html

you should be able to use it as long as the motherboard you have has a PCIe x1 slot but would not be good to use for a video card for gaming.

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.

It will run any modern games, and probably well. Though you might not be able to max out the settings depending on the game. Of course, it is very upgradable, and you could always just put in a new power supply and graphics card.

Good question. this machine only has integrated HD4400 from Intel, and as such is only good for light to moderate gaming and will in no way substitute for a gaming notebook (that are double to triple this thing's weight) Personally, I've managed to get Sims3 or Simcity running on it without significant problems. when i'm traveling I can log on to MMOs such as Guild Wars 2, WoW, etc on the lowest graphic settings to get my achievements down. the laptop will handle the vast majority of modern games at low to medium settings if you set them to 1600x900 (half the full resolution of the screen). In short, it's good enough to handle my CASUAL gaming needs on the road when I get some downtime, but expect it to fail epically for any type of serious gaming.

Hi Tyler yes you can play some games, but some of the games requires good video card and I believed these laptops should have 128mb or 256mb video on board so you have to check with your games what is the requirement Thank you

I would say no laptop is good for gaming. Those that are good enough for playing anything new, or with any degree of quality would be too bulky or too pricy to afford. That being said if you aren't planning on playing the latest triple A games (Call of Duty, Titan fall, etc.) the laptop is fine for playing games. Though it will run hot since it has an integrated GPU. I got Diablo 3 running, but I need to play it on a table with a cooling pad, and with medium graphics settings.
