Can this play Source Games i.e. TF2, CS:GO, L4D?

Oh yes. Definitely good for games. I play TF2, Minecraft, Tekkit, and various other steam games. They all run great. For the price this is definitely the best gaming laptop out there. I actually got it for 375 (not including tax) at Best Buy as an open box deal! I suggest looking there.

yes, i have a dell alienware gaming desktop with the same core i5 and it runs all my favorite games like tf2, tactical intervention, garrys mod, war thunder, and half life 2 lag free.

I'm not a Gamer myself but it does come with the X-Box App downloaded on Windows 8. So any games you would play via Xbox can be played on the computer via the App. I'm afraid this review probably won't be much help......

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.

Yes you can game with this CPU. Please check with game for specification requirements.

Not by gaming laptop standards; can play many older titles at reduced settings with about 20-30 fps

Not quite sure, but it can run bf4 on ultra. So it should be able to handle those games.

I have not tried this board for gaming specifically. But I did try Team Fortress 2 for linux using this board and got very playable framerates with little skipping using the A8-5600K processor's GPU. If you used a discreet GPU, this board would be fine. However, you probably won't be using the APU of what you slot on this motherboard to the fullest.

I believe it can but not on the highest settings. I would check the system requirements for that particular game. This is a lower end graphics card.

Yes. Yes it can and if your a dayz player it will run it ok. Long as you cut the settings down youll be good and you can run the settings up alittle on more games. Its a good proceesor for the money

You should be able to. Just make sure to uninstall the video card drivers fully. I would recommend using a utility for the purpose.

You should be able to, the on board graphics will run some games that require a video card. I downloaded a game and it was able to run it.

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.

Can't say for sure.. We had to return ours. Within hours, 1/3 keys did not work and it froze over and over. It was a mess needless to say. So I didn't have long enough to use.. I believe it is powerful enough to run just about any games available. Good luck..

Hi Tyler yes you can play some games, but some of the games requires good video card and I believed these laptops should have 128mb or 256mb video on board so you have to check with your games what is the requirement Thank you

i have been running unbuntu on this for a few months and havent had any issues with this. playing games like postal 2 and a couple other steam games

Sincerely I don't use that kind of programs but I don't see any reason why I shouldn't! With the included Graphics adapter and processor speed it will work fine

Yes, it will play gamecube games. It will play anything the original drive would.

If it has a mini pci slot; it should work. Download drivers and associated software from intel.

I don't see why not. I play Portal/ Portal 2 just fine on it. Also Half-Life 2, so Team Fortress 2 should work.
