Can this be used for gaming?

I don't know, I use it more or less as I digital photo frame. So I haven't considered response time but I don't think it will matter. The viewing angle is not as good as standard computer screens from for instance Samsung and Eizo, I think that is the biggest difference I have noticed. The advantage is that it doesn't need external power.

Yes, but it's not being used for gaming. This was purchased for my college son who uses it for spreadsheet comparison and instructions

I wouldn't recommend it, no. The resolution isn't very high, and brighter is the refresh rate, at least not in turns of gaming. Finally, I'm pretty sure the processing power for its video feed forms from the CPU, even with a dedicated GPU.

I don't see why not, gaming picture is no different than a Youtube video. The issue is more with latency, whether or not your 'device' can push enough pixels to the monitor to form your picture in time with your controller input. In the case of a smartphone, pushing video from a 1080p (1920x1080) device to a monitor with a smaller resolution would help fight the latency. Really depends on the power of your hardware.

It could, although it probably wouldn't be the greatest quality and you'll need a powerful enough GPU to drive the extra pixels at high frame rates. It is made more for static image displays. There is an answer to this question on the Displaylink website

As others have said, not recommended for gaming. I bought one of these and use it to display YouTube videos - for that purpose, it works fine. I've also used it at work for documents (Excel/PowerPoint/Word) without any issues.

Depends. I've only tried minecraft on it and it works pretty good with a few settings changed. I don't really think that this is a "full fledged" gaming computer, though

you should be able to use it as long as the motherboard you have has a PCIe x1 slot but would not be good to use for a video card for gaming.

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 have not used it for gaming at all but it is a bit slower than my regular laptop. It would probably need a fast internet connection to be good for gaming. Plus, the screen being so small might also make gaming difficult. Hope that helps!

It is not suitable for gaming in my opinion, it can't run battlefield 3 on the lowest settings without lag

I am sorry but I don't use this for a gaming computer, so I can't answer that question.

I'm not sure if I would recommend it for games that require higher specs but I play games like Counter-Strike : Source, DOTA 2, Fallout without any problems. It handles well for not being a so called gaming laptop.

for sure. this laptop can play most of the games and if u use sli, u can play games under at least medium video setting

No, for gaming you would want a dedicated GPU (graphics card) which this does not have.

This laptop has right around the minimum required processing power needed for Mine Craft. I would say you can probably use it for games in such however a bit more processing speed may be needed.

Sorry I do not use it for gaming, but have no complaints in using it for other purposes. It is working great.

It's OK for gaming. My boy has been using it to play games on his ChromeBook.

I have not tried with gaming but I dont see why it would not given it handles music just fine. I listen to alot of Jazz and it is quite dynamic.

Absolutely. That's what it's meant for. With its high quality NIC, sound card, overclocking features, SLI/CF support, etc... it's completely designed to be used for gaming and it's been working very well for me.

Not sure as I am not much of a gamer. You can check the requirements of the game and compare those with the mentioned specifications.
