Is it really thin and light? And, is it good for gaming for ex: Minecraft?

Based on the screen size 15.6 I would say this is quite thin and light. But I don't think is good for gaming. :)

I have found it to be very light and thin. I have traveled with it and it fits in my bag so much better than my previously owned laptops. I don't do gaming but I would assume that it would be on the low side.

Very thin and light. I would not try to use it for games, seems kind of slow for that.

Hi. Its really thin and light, no doubt about that. I bought this laptop only because I did not get anything cheap with that thin and light ultrabook look. But, regarding gaming: i have no clue, but this laptop is on the slower side in terms of configuration. Maybe its the processing speed or RAM or its just because of Windows 8. I don't at all like its Speed.

Relatively thin when compared to most laptops today and the same thing for the weight. Gaming for Minecraft will be okay on Moderate settings but games like Crysis 3 and Battlefield will struggle.

Based on it's specs, it should be able to run Minecraft. Functional mods shouldn't present a problem, but don't expect to be able to use the mods that add shaders and make Minecraft look incredible. Even my laptop with a dedicated graphics card has trouble with those.

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 plays minecraft very well but more detailed graphic games like crysis, it will slow down

I am not a gamer, but it is good for heavy graphics work, so it should work for that. Sorry, I really don't know the answer. I have been very satisfied with the product though.

I can play Minecraft on this laptop without it lagging, only if I install the mod "optifine" and turn all the settings to the lowest quality. So, no not really.

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

It handles minecraft and photoshop alright, I have both on my 256 GB SP1, but I'd recommend increasing the amount of ram you can use for minecraft to get better performance out of it. It's an integrated gpu and the ram usage is locked down so I wouldn't expect a huge amount of graphics horsepower.

Yeah. I use it exclusively for gaming. Works pretty good. What do I play? BF3, 4, Hawken, CoDs, Crysis 2, 3 and some UT3. For something that's 20 bucks, it aint bad. If it breaks, I'll just go buy another one. I use a Logitech EX110 for work purposes. What's my game stuff? Intel i7 3770 cpu, Asus P8z77-V LK motherboard, WD 2.5 Velociraptor HDD, XFX HD7950 gpu, G.Skill 16gb 19200 ram, Corsair RM750 psu, Corsair H100i liquid cooler.

It's a very basic PC good for typing, surfing light gaming and office documents. Not for heavy gaming

Yes. I bought it for my son; he plays Minecraft and Plants vs Zombies on it often.

I'm not a gamer, but honestly, this is not the workhorse/graphics intensive device designed for gaming. It's an excellent bargain and an excellent ultralight. I wouldn't buy it if I were intending to use it as a gaming device.

My son plays minecraft on it all the time. It is a good computer for gaming.

This isn't the greatest choice to game on. Its a decent mouse for a laptop I still use it on my other laptop. A better choice would be E-Blue Mazer II 2500 DPI Wireless Gaming Mouse (EMS601BKAA-NF) . But don't get me wrong its a good mouse if your on a budget.

It is not a good computer if you are a serious gamer. For simple games it will do.

I have this laptop and while it plays it ok, minecraft is very cpu intensive.expect 60-70 fps with optifine

Yeah. It's pretty good for games. You can't always play on the highest resolution.
