can you play steam games on it? or any kind of high powered games?

Yes you can play steam on this laptop. Although I would not play any high end graphics games on it, because it may be very slow and cause faults. I bought it because it has two batteries, a ssd hdd, small and compact, 1920 x 1080 res or 1080p, and a detachable screen is nice to have. The only problem I have had is the clam shell in the rear of the laptop. It is a bit cumbersome, protruding, heavy and can be pinchy if you get fingers or other stuff stuck in it. A 11.5' or 12' version would have been perfect without a clamshell rear design. Possibly why they discontinued it.

The HP Spectre 13h211nr x2 is great for surfing the web, opening and editing documents, email, watching streamed video and audio however the i5 processor and onboard video are hardly adequate to run high end games. Look for an i7 with dedicated video card of at least 2GB and system memory of 8GB.

in general it's not powerful enough to play heavy games IMHOhowever I have not played games for ages and not on this device

Im guessing yes, because it will be on your computer and not from a pc disk, i dont think it will require Steam. Worth a shot?

Only if it is the "RICE" build of Steam. Home streaming of "RICE" could cause a real mess with this ASUS Eeebox PC.

Yeah it is, that's the reason I got it, I use it with steam all the time. Might be a bit stiff untill you us just the sesitivy settings, works great after.

I would believe you can although I do not use this for gaming. It's a pretty good laptop so I'm sure you can game on it as well :)

Yeah of course. Besides running programs on it, I also use it to play starcraft 2. The game runs at ultra quality with no problem.

Windows runs fine. You can even run some older games on this thing, believe it or not. I've hooked up an external blu-ray to this, as well as external HDDs and the likes. The blu-ray needed a second powered port to work though, not enough voltage on the single micro.

steam is a game store and downloader and heres a link to steam http://store.steampowered.com/ and you need to make an account and then download the steam client

Yes it can. In fact it can play games better than most laptops of its generation due to the included dedicated graphics processor.

Yes, you can, but not for games... Just normal use... The graphic card is weak but works :)

You should be able to. I can play counter strike global offensive and left 4 dead 2 easily. You won't be playing maxed out graphics. But it is a budget laptop.

Displaying a single video steam is pretty resource-cheap on current (within the last 5 years) hardware.It really depends on what you want to do - is the Dell going to be a full-blown Windows Media Center or will you just watch shows via the HDHomeRun apps? Will you be using wired or wireless networking? IF wireless, is your access point DLNA-compatible (required)?FWIW, I'm able to use a 64GB Surface Pro and an Asus 202e to watch shows & videos just fine.

Yes you can. This tablet is an entry level tablet keep in mind, therefore graphic hungry games will show some lag and poor performance. Games such as Angry Birds and Minion Rush do bring out the tablets lack of a faster processor. Overall I am happy with the tablet and it has performed great thusfar. Battery life isnt the greatest but 2-3 hours is plenty for me since im not a heavy user.

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