Yes, but remember it's only as good as "wireless", which is not the same speed as direct connect.

No... I wouldn't game on this laptop. Modern games usually require a more powerful processor.

Not really. Games run, but many slow. My client uses it for email and web mostly. Not a gamer.

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

Absoltely not. This is an android based system that does not have those capabilities. If you are looking for something that does gaming this is the wrong machine. You get what you pay for.

I am not sure. .... I will say it has been fine for normal laptop use, but I cannot answer for gaming. I think it is really stable to be honest. I have not had any issues with downloading or uploading.

No. It's quite zippy. It should be fast enough for anything except very graphics-heavy games.

I'm not a gamer so I couldn't say. Sorry. I think another review commented about upgrading the memory to use it for gaming.

I have been very disjointed with this device. The speed of operation is also too slow for live gaming... You might have to spend some more money to get the performance and reliability you need... However,,, please let me know if you do try it and it works...

Can't answer that. It does stream youtube Hulu type vids well (what I got it for), but my guess it would not do well for gaming.

Yeah of course. Besides running programs on it, I also use it to play starcraft 2. The game runs at ultra quality with no problem.

I would not use it for gaming. A more powerful CPU with a more powerful graphics card is required for gaming. It is, however, excellent for day-to-day computing needs.

Yes, I bought it just for gaming. But I don't really like its gaming mode (it does not show the real image, it kinda adds a filter to it). But, It's 27inch, and it has a reasonable price, so...pretty good in general

I believe so. My son uses it and plays many new games on high. I can't speak to those exact games though.

I would not use this as a gaming machine. There is no way it can handle the latest games of today BUT it is a very solid home office platform that can do the job that any home office can throw at it. I bought this as a gift and from what I have been told it handles Word office, a dictation system, scanner and other home office software with no issues. Biggest plus was that it still had Windows 7 and the person I bought it for could handle this system without going through another learning curve. Remember this is just a Intel Core i3-3110M 2.3 GHz Processor system. Strong but not really a gaming system - The only thing I would suggest is to upgrade the 4 GB DIMM RAM to at least 8 GB. Memory upgrade will be the easiest and provide the best performance upgrade for this system.

Yes it can handle some. If you are wanting it for newer games I would get something different.

Yes it can. In fact it can play games better than most laptops of its generation due to the included dedicated graphics processor.
