If you're talking about those heavy duty games, then I suggest that you get something stronger than this.

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.

The a answer is not as easy as the question. Most "gaming laptops" are in the $1000 plus range. If you are an intense gamer then this is not the pc you are looking for. That being said this pc will play most games just fine and is a very capable pc. I hope this helps.

That depends on the game. I have been playing LoL and its not bad, but my expectations were low to begin with. I feel its not bad for the price so if its all you can afford you will be satisfied with what it can handle gaming wise.

No, I wouldn't recommend it for gaming. It is best used as a family low graphics laptop.

I don't game, if you are a casual gamer maybe, if your a serious gamer you probably wouldn't of asked! for $400 it works well, a good game card (GPU) start @ $250, hope this helps.

"Okay" .. yes... But this is not a gaming class machine to be sure... I have been able to play the newest 1st person shooters and driving games quite well..(not at highest level settings)., however I would very much recommend a RAM upgrade to 8gig(max it allows) if gaming is desired.... Overall for.the price I find it to be a quick and.versatile machine... But, I would consider the price of a RAM upgrade (80-ish dollars) into the purchase price if you plan to game.

It's more than enough for games, but the GPU is more important in this case. I have the i5-4670 + GTX 770 and it plays almost all games at maximum graphics settings at 1920x1080

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

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

No this is very basic computer, a very good model but graphics, processing and memory are no where near what you would need for gaming. this model is good for getting online, watching shows online and storage of pictures and documents, and some basic computing programs. search for gaming models.

It is a nice laptop to be sure, but it is not a gaming rig. In my experience running games on laptops works best if they have dedicated graphics memory such as NVIDIA's GeForce series processors. The laptop you mentioned utilizes the Intel Haswell HD 5000 Series on-board graphics memory, which is good enough for almost any everyday task such as email, web videos and so on. If you are a serious gamer, then buying a laptop with dedicated (or separate) graphics card is a must.

I don't use it for gaming but, it does maintain a constant streaming of video without any interruptions. Its speed remains constant at the 300Mbps on the 5gz band. I would think it would work reasonably well for gaming.

yes this laptop is very good for gaming it is a strong and fast machine you would have get a gaming laptop for a lot more money to beat it

I think this laptop is designed for playing games and watching movies or sth, so it is good for games, but not the biggest ones which need very high hardware configuration. For normal work, I think it is suitable too.

Sorry I do not use it for gaming, but have no complaints in using it for other purposes. It is working great.

I have not tried, but I would not recommend it for gaming. I played some older games on it, and they had some lag ...

Yes, it would be great for gaming with an additional good graphics card. EVGA makes some really nice ones for not much money.

Don't get this to play games with it. There's a noticeable lag when playing games. It's good to use for normal computer use.... But I wouldn't recommend gaming with it.
