would this be good for casual gaming?

As long as the games aren't very graphics intensive. I just received this as a holiday gift, and am hunting down options for a video card upgrade. While a casual gamer by most accounts, the games with pretty graphics still struggle a bit with this rig. Hope that helps!

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 would count on it to run CS:GO so so but BF and COD is doubtful, especially BF. I bought this for my girl that just likes to surf the net and do Facebook stuff. I wouldn't spend the money on this for gaming. You would need something beefier with better cpu and graphics. I have a PC I built specifically for gaming so I consider myself somewhat knowledgeable about this topic.

More than adequate for myself. I don't recommend it as a gaming unit, but for online searches and study it has been just fine. I will add, that this unit has to be cooled by external methods because it runs on the warm side. I would also purchase an additional battery as a back up, Dell batteries are under-acheaver to say the very least.

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.

The answer would depend on the minimum and recommended specifications of the games you're trying to play. If the hardware meets or exceeds the recommended specifications for the game, then it will play very well.

it depends of what kind of gaming. If is not an advanced game, it will work, but not for those "heavy" games.

For app gaming yes, for hardcore gaming like battlefield I wouldnt recommend because of the limitations of the CPU.

Yes, this should do more than fine for gaming. I own it and haven't had any problems.

I wouldn't suggest it. They are good for my use, outdoor, but will not provide the full rage usually required for gaming application

I am not 100% positive, but I think not, if so, like the previous responder says, probably wouldn't suggest getting this one for that usage. its more for game playing and internet perusing.

I don't use mine for gaming. I would assume the processor would have difficulty with such applications. I would recommend something with a quad core at a minimum.

Hi Mary! Yes, this would be a good choice . The computer screen is not too heavy and it's relatively fast if all you will be using it for is solitaire. Hope this helps!

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 am not a gamer, but it is good for heavy graphics work, so it should work for that. Sorry, I really don't know the answer. I have been very satisfied with the product though.

It's good for playing basic games that do not require a lot of RAM or CPU. It's not great for graphics-intensive games. Also good for reading goods, especially thanks to the SD card slot.

Probably not. The CPU is really good, but the graphics card will probably need to be upgraded to play SWOR on High. For it's price, it's a good computer to play on Medium.
