Hi, is this computer good for gaming? My friend is looking for a computer that runs minecraft, wolfquest, and wizard101. Is this good?

It will play lowend games like mine craft , if you invest in a solid state hard drive it will play games way better

Hmmm...not sure about that as I've found gaming to be better on a PC rather than a laptop...maybe I'm old fashioned!

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!

You don't use this type of laptop for gaming. I doubt it would run perfectly on WoW. Actually with 1 gb of RAM, I am pretty sure it would run terribly.

I am not familiar with Minecraft, but I assume it is a game foe PC. If you run the game in any other high end PC, then this computer should not have any problem. It also comes with a genuine Lenovo AC power cord.

Hi John. This computer could be a decent gaming machine if you do the following. Add a 64 bit OS to it. Then add like 8GB of ram. Now your talking! However your card with an i5 or i7. Is insane dual core processors vs quad cores for gaming will produce a lot more frames per seconds. I hope that helped and sorry for the typos.

Well, this laptop is years old. In it's day, I played games on it like Warcraft III... not World of Warcraft, before World of Warcraft existed. If you want games, HP Elitebook Workstation, Toshiba Qosmio, Origin PC, and Alienware would be the places to go for a great gaming laptop. Macs can play games, with the caveat that the graphic card selection always rests with the pcs, and no mac laptop ever has a workstation graphics card for 3d rendering and some fun.

Mine runs minecraft on maximum settings pretty alright. For a game like that for sure get a graphics card upgrade and maybe another stick of RAM.

My son plays minecraft on it all the time. It is a good computer for gaming.

Hi Brenda. I don't play games on mine but I do rely heavily on graphics. This computer is very good with real time graphics. Extremely fast refresh rate and very dependable powerful machine. I think you'll be happy with it.

Based on it's specs, it should be able to run Minecraft. Functional mods shouldn't present a problem, but don't expect to be able to use the mods that add shaders and make Minecraft look incredible. Even my laptop with a dedicated graphics card has trouble with those.

This computer is not designed for gaming, I had to install a video card in order to play games, I am playing watch dogs right now, no complaints

It'll run Minecraft at MAXIMUM settings without lag. I'm not sure about other games, but I use X-Plane 10, a flight sim, and I get pretty good FPS when using it.

It handles many Steam games without issue (New Vegas, Portal 2, L4D2). I'm currently running Skyrim with mods at high setting (not highest, mind). Vanilla Minecraft runs really well, although I had unresolved operating issues with the Feed the Beast modpack.

Yes, it can run Minecraft without issues. I would recommend a cooling pad under it (Zalman ZM-NC2000 is what I use) because Minecraft will keep it warm.

I've used it for Skyrim and, more recently, Guild Wars 2 and have to say that for a laptop it's pretty decent. You need to run GW2 and low-medium graphics settings to get a reasonable frame rate. You can't expect a laptop to give you desktop quality graphics. If they put that kind of power in a laptop you could probably fry eggs on it.

This is a basic bare bones server. While yes, it could likely play games like minecraft well, you would need to add components like a hard drive, operating system, and possibly a CD drive to get any use out of it. Unless you know how to build a computer/server its best you stear clear and stick with a complete system.

Oh yes this runs garrys mod, half life, and other steam games quite nicely, the first day i got this i played halflife and worked beautifully. if you want to game, then this is a decent laptop. minecraft also works if you have certain settings set.
