is it alright for gaming?

Sorry I just saw this. No it is not. I bought it for world of Warcraft and come to find out it had no graphics card so I purchased one. When I went to install it I also found out there is no place for a graphics card fit for gaming.

not if you expect to do any graphics or game playing. the bandwidth is not sufficent and it is not driven by your graphics card.

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.

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 works perfect for gaming. I have this pc with 8 GB of Memory and it run games perfect...Joe

yes, you can use it for gaming as well. The graphics card will suffer only a slight degradation of performance from the use of the 1x slot.

This unit is used the same as an internal drive. I've never used it for gaming, but it should be okay except for the high-end stuff.

I would say it's decent for gaming. I have loaded Star Wars:Empire at War and C&C Generals loaded on mine and thet play perfectly. Display runs at 1920x1080 without any problems. My only complaints is that the fan will run at full speed when playing and sounds like a jet engine

I think they are saying its good for gaming. I remember reading that somewhere.

Yes it's good for PC gamers. I got this for my son who wanted it to use for his x box one and I asked him your question and he said it's good for PC gamers.

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

This laptop is certainly not intended for gaming although gaming is still possible. Experience may vary from one title to the next although in most situations it won't be sufficient enough. To answer your question, no it wouldn't be a good gaming computer though for everything else it should suffice.

Yes it is got no problems what so ever. Just make sure that it can handle you graphics card.

Yes. It's ok for gaming, although the dense layout makes it easy to hit the wrong keys. I usually don't have much trouble though.

I wouldn't recommend it for gaming. I ran a few games on our computer setup, and they ran much slower than an older computer using a quad core processor. I use it in an HTPC. Most of the tasks are done one at a time, so the dual core works fine. It is fast for light duty applications, but games aren't light duty.

I honestly don't know for sure, but I use it to play Guild Wars 2 on it, so I want to say yes, you should check the minimum req. for the games

Probably. It's not very high resolution so for gaming or photoshop work it wouldn't be great but for internet, and everyday stuff it should be fine. The price looks pretty good.
