Is this a good gaming laptop? or is it like chromebooks, and has a website of stupid apps that it will run? Does Skyrim or Minecraft run well?

I use this computer for my business. I am not a gamer and I am not familiar with the programs you mention. The computer is quite fast the way I use it and I am very pleased with it.

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.

It is a smooth running laptop but as for its gaming performance I can't comment. It's not really designed for it. I use it for work and casual web surfing

This laptop has always run amazing for me on high graphical demanding games with lots of textures on at a time like Rome II, XCOM, etc. It should run minecraft easily!

I've loved my 8460p. The only thing I regret is not getting the the one with the separate AMD graphics card (I have the integrated Intel 3000 graphics). I think the separate graphics card would make a huge difference in any games/Minecraft. Other than that, it's a top notch laptop that has really done extremely well. I've used mine on average 6-10 hours a day for about 3 years now and haven't had any hiccups.

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.

I'm not a gamer nor am I a PC expert by any means but I don't think this laptop is something I would consider a "gaming" PC. My opinion is that it's for everyday use for activities like personal finance, MS Office, internet browsing and jus general use. I'm sure it can run games but not games requiring high graphics capabilities etc.

Oh yes this runs garrys mod, half life, and other steam games quite nicely, the first day i got this i played halflife and worked beautifully. if you want to game, then this is a decent laptop. minecraft also works if you have certain settings set.

its decent for it. its got integrated graphics which kinda sucks, but itll play things like skyrim on low settings, if you want to use that as a benchmark. i havent noticed any overheating problem. i personally use it for gaming as im a twitch streamer and this is my main rig atm.i havent really tried newer games on it as much. it has slowdown with dolphin (gamecube/wii emulator) but runs things like Skullgirls no problem.

It plays older games with ease. Newer games work also although you may need to scale down the resolution/quality. The laptop also gets pretty hot when playing newer graphics intensive games. Because of this I'd recommend getting a cooling pad to go with it.Overall this is one of nicest full featured laptops available. I also replaced the hard drive with an Intel ssd which made a huge performance difference. I'd strongly recommend upgrading any laptop you buy with an ssd. In summary I'd say this laptop would play any of the games you mentioned. Just be prepared to buy a cooling pad.

Yes Minecraft works absolutely perfectly on this, i can also run it on my older hp laptop version of this with only a dual core and 4 gb ram, this thing runs it on max specs pretty well.

I did not get the laptop primarily for gaming because i have a more powerful gaming machine but i got it for coding and possibly moding games which requires it to actually have the games on the machine octodad plays beautifully and elder scrolls v skyrim set itself to ultra high quallity after detecting the hardware so it should hold up ive only had mine for a week so i cant speak to its durability

Honestly, I can say that it isn't spectacular for gaming. I tried to play the new Far Cry on it and it was lagging so bad that I couldn't play it. It can play games like Skyrim and Fallout. But then again those games aren't that new.

No. It's a great laptop but not for gaming. I got it for my father who only browses the web and checks email.

It's great for gaming. Best computer on the market right now for the price point it's at.

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.

Yes. Skyrim should work well on this laptop. I currently play World of Warcraft and haven't had any issues. The requirements don't differ much.
