It is dual core BUT not the fastest CPU architecture. You can upgrade to 8G RAM if you need it. The catch: It does not have a dedicated video card intended for gaming. Videos (movies) OK, but I think you need much more power for gaming.I don't do gaming. The fact that other purchasers have not replied to your question, suggests that there are few to no gamers on this type of device (or they don't bother to read the questions here). If gaming is your application, then look for suggestions on web sites devoted to gamers.

I have been asking this on the internet for a while... Yet to receive a response.

It has an i5 processor,probably an i7 processor would be better for gaming. Also, it come with 6 GB memory, but the memory is can be easily upgraded via the back panel. For my needs, it is a perfect PC for me, love the huge screen!

Well, there are a few reviews now! There's also a review of a similar earlier model at pcmag.com. The A53E-EH71 has an upgraded processor and a USB 3.0 port. --Also, the leading product ratings magazine rated the Asus U56E-BAL7 as being very quick and suitable for moderate gaming. It has the slower core i5 processor, and the same integrated graphics (Intel 3000 HD) as the Asus A53E-EH71. ; )http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2389349,00.asp

No. As I and others have said in previous comments/reviews, this is NOT a gaming laptop. Minecraft BASIC system requirements specify a separate video chipset (no integrated chipsets) and a faster processor than this computer has. This computer is perfect for normal, non-gaming, non-processor/graphics-intensive computing (office apps, browsing, email, basic media manipulation, streaming sound and video content, etc.), but it is NOT a gaming computer. If good performance in Minecraft is essential for you, up your game and spend the bucks necessary to get a computer with a faster processor, a decent, standalone (non-integrated) video chipset/controller and, although Minecraft specs say 4GB is OK (as long as processor is fast enough and video chipset has its own memory, etc.), I'd AT LEAST double that.

I'm using mine right now, and I will be replacing it soon with a desktop. It is fine with minor games such as classic fallout and (sometimes) minecraft. When I first got it, it ran fallout 3 just fine with medium video settings, and now (after owning it for a few years), it can struggle doing basic functions. If you plan on playing demanding games such as GTA or some other huge retail game, DO NOT get this laptop. If you plan on just playing simple games and you don't intend to be "hardcore gaming," then go ahead. I am not disappointed with this laptop, it just doesn't meet my standards for gaming.

The laptop works pretty good for multimedia! for gaming its ok but it could be better! I haven't installed any of the good games yet, however I try regular games and like I said is ok. I think the RAM can be upgrade!

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

It is fine for gaming with at least 8gb of memory I purchased this processor for my sister and it works well. I personally have an A6 Richland black edition 8gb ram Asrock Fm2A88X Extreme 4+, and I run World of tanks on High as well as other games. If you really love AMD, and have the cash to spend Skip the Kivarie, and go strait to Godavari 16gb of ram an MSI board, and an SSD as a gaming drive.

Well the better question is...what would you be using the laptop for? Because I am a owner of the dell latitude e6400 and it's great for streaming movies and work wise things but if you were looking for gaming the e6400 wouldn't be good... because lack of performance

no, it simply would not do any good for gaming. For gaming you would need at the very minimum 4-8 GBs of RAM (this has 1 GB RAM which is very bad especially for gaming) and about 3.1GHz or an Intel Core i3 / Intel Core i5 hope this helps :)

For a non-gaming laptop, it actually games pretty well. I've played Civ5 and Guild Wars 2 on mine and it does fine. It gets a bit hot on the underside when you have been at it for a while but overall, pretty good laptop.

I don't use this laptop for gaming or imaging purposes. But from what I gather, you generally want a dedicated graphics card if you want to game. This Radeon is built into the AMD A6-5350M CPU, so it's going to be slower. Just figure out what you want to use your laptop for before you buy it. I certainly didn't purchase this laptop for gaming.

Not Good as it, because there are limits other than the video, this proccesor is a dual core but it is slow for multitasking, and for gaming you could play some games but in low level resolution!! For a Gaming Laptop not recomendable!! For "KIDS" gaming laptop (Age from 3 to 8) good as it!!

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.
