I purchased this computer not too long ago and this computer is a beast. She's run every game i've thrown at her. You can definitely play Nether and LoL, without a doubt. It runs Guild Wars 2 perfectly, even on it's highest settings. I've had no problems with it what-so-ever!

No. It handles internet fine and MMORPGs like WoW and Aura Kingdom were alright. However, I would not recommend this laptop for gaming.

Last machine I ran it on was a win7 republic of gamers laptop. It had to run in compatability mode, but I was able to play it (with minimal hicups, but some graphical degradation) I was using a beefy spec rig though, your mileage may vary. I havent tested it on windows 8/8.1

You're gpu would be the main facter in performence, but you should be fine. I run Windows 8 and there are no problems for me

Basically, no. It's more than adequate for a lot of games available in the Windows Store, but if you want to play really graphically intensive games, you could easily wind up getting a lot of CPU lag or having to turn down your resolution. Two other considerations lead me to characterize this computer as a poor gaming rig. One, without an optical drive, installation and play can be a bit of a hassle. Two, Windows 8 eats a lot of memory by itself and the lack of support for XP-based software is a real barrier to playing older games. For example, I got Red Alert 3 to install okay, but W8 doesn't handle the game well at runtime at all. It's prone to crashing and so laggy that the game is entirely unplayable. That said, if your interest is in games with relatively low CPU/GPU demand and are intended for the Windows 8 platform, you should be fine. Otherwise, as a gaming rig, my review of this computer is lukewarm at best. That said, I'm still entirely satisfied with this machine, and it offers excellent value for its price point.

yes, should play just fine, just won't have all of the bells and whistles that a high-end desktop would. for another 45 bucks, you can go to Kingston and buy 2 4gig sticks of mem for an easy upgrade!

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!

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.

yes, it will run games, but it's not going to give extreme details or all the sparkles of a gaming rig. it's more of a multi-media/work station type machine. i upgraded the ram to 8gig, and it is a sweet machine!

There is enough horsepower to play games and you can add RAM to it make it run even smoother. Short answere is Yes, you can.

Yes it can handle World of Warcraft but it still depends on the system requirement of the game that you will run into this laptop.

I am by no means a computer expert, but the MMO's that I play run on the highest settings with no problem. The fans run louder, but that's not really an issue for me. I mostly play World of Warcraft and I have the best graphics of any computer I have owned with this system. Hope this was helpful.

I bought this and I'm glad I did, it plays all games perfectly. Diablo 3 on High with no lag, SWTOR, Battlefield 3, and these are all the newest games. I did however buy a laptop cooling pad to keep it cool, but it really didn't get that hot without it. Don't listen to people tell you this isn't a "gaming" laptop. It is an entertainment PC, and it does everything that it should.

If those are anything like World of Warcraft, they should run fine. No lag and the graphics are good.

Honestly, I haven't played games with it. But, I imagine it could probably handle anything you threw at it--it isn't an old computer. Having used it: I don't think Windows 8 is all that great though. It just provides you with two different ways of looking at the same programs.
