My husband spends most of his time on a computer. He surfs the web and plays games. How are the graphics and can he play games that won't bog down.

It works great, but it has windows xp which is no longer covered by windows, great system though, will need to pay for updates!

Don't game, it was for the wife and the grandkids. Had to replace the wife's old computer after it was hit by lightening, bought it because it was cheap and it shut her up and as expected she never been on it.

You will have no problem running either of those. I am a web developer and graphic designer on top of being a gamer and I haven't had any issues running anything.

Not a gamer myself, I bought for my son, and he uses it for exactly that reason. Works great.

Depends on what you mean by "gaming"? This is a netbook with a 1.0 Ghz cpu with Turbo to 1.3 Ghz for two cores. It has the equivalent of a Radeon HD 6200 series video card. It is very good for internet browsing, e-mail, typical office tasks and very good for watching streaming video. If the game is internet-based and doesn't require a high-powered cpu and video card then it should be perfectly adequate.

Sorry, I don't play any games. So, I just don't know. I am more involved with photography, music or videos. I've always thought for games people should have a bigger and faster computer.

I use this computer for my business. I am not a gamer and I am not familiar with the programs you mention. The computer is quite fast the way I use it and I am very pleased with it.

It has done well for the Facebook games I play. I've been happy with the graphics and speed with those games. Beyond that I have no other experience as far as games go on this system.

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.

You will be able to play some games like that, it depends all on the graphics demand of the game. The processor Itself is amazing. But the graphics card is integrated. I was definitely satisfied with the computer itself but I also bought an AMD Radeon HD 7770 graphics card. It's one of the cheaper high end graphics cards out there.

Well it is kind of slow for gaming on facebook. I play Cityville and it is slow on the chromebooks. Mine is the samsung 550 1.3 ghz celeron with 4gb of ram and it is kind of slow compared to my full blown laptop with 2.3ghz and 6gb ram. If your going to use it as a device to surf the web and do youtube and business stuff its pretty good. For gaming it doesn't do as good as i want. I also play Tradesfield stock game on facebook and it does that pretty good but not Cityville but i do play zcityville on the chromebook just alot slower.

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!

It depends on the intensity of the game and if you are using it for online-multiplayer gaming. I purchased it to use with high demand graphics programs - Adobe Photoshop and ArcGIS and have never had a problem with it. Still blazing fast and you can always upgrade the RAM to 16 GB to help with the FPS refresh rate! It also travels well too, been commuting with me 5 days a week for over 2+ years!

Not at all. This laptop is more for surfing the net, spread sheets, word processing, ect. My grandson can play angry birds games, but it's not good for adult games with more involved graphics.

PC is pretty fast. Web surfing will only be as fast as your router if you go wireless. Windows 8 takes getting used to. If you like gaming you might want more RAM.

This helps a lot. However, there is still the question about the functionality. Is it worth the price to surf and play games versus a few more dollars and getting an inexpensive laptop. Maybe by the time software comes out to support this device it will be worth it.

I have this computer and it can pretty much play anything you want, I haven't found a game yet that it can't run smoothly, hope this helps.
