is it any good at gaming?

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.

Sorry Mitch. First, I don't do "gaming," so I really wouldn't know, but it is a great machine.Second, I returned the computer unused because the keyboard was not adequately displayed on the website and was not to my liking. The keyboard is flat, the keys are not separated and/or raised. I returned it in exchange for an Acer Aspire, 17 inch with raised and separated keys. I've had a Toshiba notebook for 15+ years and have had no problem with it, so if you have already purchased this one you should be very pleased with it.

Not gooood per se, but it plays some basic things pretty well. I played Portal, Mount and Blade Warband, Faster Than Light, Cavestory and vanilla Minecraft (esp. windows 10 edition) all without a hitch.

Gaming requires a strong processor, excellent graphics resolution and speed. This laptop has an i5 64-bit processor which is very good. However, out of a 9.9 scale, it only achieves moderate desktop graphics rating of 5.0; 3D and gaming rating is 6.4. The screen resolution is only 1600 x 900 rather than the more desirable 1920x1080. So, it's probably not the best gamer laptop.

I don't do games. This computer seems to do well with memory. It has on board graphics and it doesn't have room for expansion cards if you need better. Super graphics seems to be important to gamers. It has worked well for me doing video and audio recording and editing, accounting and publications with picture editing.

I'm not sure if I would recommend it for games that require higher specs but I play games like Counter-Strike : Source, DOTA 2, Fallout without any problems. It handles well for not being a so called gaming laptop.

Yes, I bought it just for gaming. But I don't really like its gaming mode (it does not show the real image, it kinda adds a filter to it). But, It's 27inch, and it has a reasonable price, so...pretty good in general

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

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 play world of Warcraft on it, works good but not as good as my Alienware.

Yes of course. Its a gaming laptop but a laptop none the less it justs does things faster and better then most of your budget laptops

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!

If you like PC gaming it will function very well with new and demanding games. If this gives you any idea, it handled Metro; Last Light easily, a fast operating system.

I don't know about the first question, but the sound is fantastic, it's lighting is very good (depending on how bright you want it to be, because it's adjustable) and the gaming is really fantastic. It runs beautifully and the fps on it is just great!

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

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.
