Yes, I'm currently using Java 8. It seems to work well with games. Good Luck with your gaming.

you can but this will not run minecraft well. if you need help finding a better laptop, let me know. tomorrow they should have some good sales and you should be able to get a pretty good laptop at decent prices.

it was my favorite operating system, great phone (mostly) but you're 2+ years too late. HP killed webOS hardware development a long time ago & support for the app developer / catalog is long-gone. just tumbleweeds rolling down main street http://www.webosnation.com/tags/app-catalog

This model does allow games, but those like sims 3, minecraft, etc. will not play and there is no way to upgrade the hardware unless you buy a new motherboard

I don't know, but usually a game of this type explains the minimum system requirement for use. If anything it might work better for you than for me.

I'm afraid not. The technology in this computer is too old unfortunately. I bought one specifically to run older games and software.

No Java on Chromebook, without using developer mode and jumping through some hoops. (Google "Java on Chromebook" if you really want instructions.)

Currently, mine runs on Vista. This machine had a huge problem with firmware and often it would not run within a month or two right out of the box. Such was the case with my machine. Unfortunately, I keep working with HP tech's until the warranty ran out and then they finally told me to send it back. They sent me a remanufactured machine that did work. You may want to check any forums to ascertain if 7, will run the machine? Hope that is somewhat helpful.

This a very, very, very, slow computer. I seriously doubt that you could play any game on it. I only bought it for windows 7 operating system so the I could continue to use my dedicated photo printer.

According to the specs listed on the HP site, this model has a 64 bit operating system. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c04067860&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en

Sorry I can't be too much help here but I'm not much of a gamer. I mainly used this computer for more business applications. I can tell you that I tried to use it (and another HP) for my DJ business and it performed horrible with the software. I couldn't get it to work right at all, it kept skipping on songs and randomly "popping" along with other problems. I was in a pinch one night at a birthday party and ended up using my wife's 300 dollar bottom of the line Gateway computer and it performed 100% better than this HP. I used to love HP but now I cannot recommend them. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure, check the specifications of the game and compare them with the laptop.

This should run that just fine. I run a dedicated Minecraft server in Linux Mint with 1.5GB of RAM allocated to the Java process. It hardly ever goes over 10% CPU usage.

I didn't try it but every Java App Works flawlessly.One thing I had to do was to Exchange the hard drive with a SSD disc, that modification improved drastically the performance. Before that, this notebook hadn't impress me.

I use a site like 'can I play this' to check whether a game will run on my computer. I play on a toshiba satellite with integrated graphics card, with no problem
