How is this computer for online gaming?

Hi Barry: Sorry for the delay in responding to your question; We were away for a while just after New Years! The Lenovo 2117EKU is a great compact computer for the money and has excellent graphics and nice to show movies via the drive built into the back of the display, but I would say it's only borderline for online gaming! However, it has six USB ports, and at around $370 you get quite a lot for your money! Best Regards, Doug B.

This machine should suit your needs if you are not playing top end games, or trying to edit video, or crunch through a lot of graphics. It's most suited to running office production applications, such as word processors, spreadsheets, and e-mail. It's suited to most internet capabilities. It may give acceptable performance on a lot of lower end games, too. Don't expect it to be some kind of inexpensive super machine though. It is a solid office machine.

Sorry, didn't see question sooner. No, not a good (as someone answered already) serious gaming computer, although I'm not into gaming at all, don't see the point but this is a great bill pay computer, all around computer. You would probably want a different graphics card, more memory for gaming, but for someone wanting an all around general computer I would pick this one.

this computer has not let me down. I,have had it for a year. I haven't played too many games but from my experiences with programs such as Sony Vegas an Adobe and more, it runs SMOOTH. My only advice is to be careful with your charging. do not use the charger all the time. for example, using it when you don't need it and while you are on it. once it its fully charged take it out! my battery has lasted me because I have done so. great laptop.

It depends on the intensity of the game and if you are using it for online-multiplayer gaming. I purchased it to use with high demand graphics programs - Adobe Photoshop and ArcGIS and have never had a problem with it. Still blazing fast and you can always upgrade the RAM to 16 GB to help with the FPS refresh rate! It also travels well too, been commuting with me 5 days a week for over 2+ years!

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

I bought it for my father-in-law, so I'm not using it all the time. But... I'm thinking it may be that good as a gaming machine. - it does have a good-sized hard drive and a decent processor, but it doesn't have the high end video card that would be best for gaming. It seems to be a good computer and the price was good though.

No this is very basic computer, a very good model but graphics, processing and memory are no where near what you would need for gaming. this model is good for getting online, watching shows online and storage of pictures and documents, and some basic computing programs. search for gaming models.

I purchased this computer 4 months ago. I am a gamer and play old school Everquest and can run multiple characters at one time. No overheating issues and no lag

Yes it does seem to perform well for online gaming. Much more so than wireless cards, I've been impressed with it.

Well, I am a gamer myself and this isn't the best one for it. I can play minecraft on it with about 15 fps. So this may not be the one. But a Asus K55N can run most shooters, MMOs, and other with medium graphics at the minnimum

I've played League of Legends on it, doesn't lag. I haven't downloaded steam on it yet...But im pretty sure it can handle it..might lag a little I fyou want a gaming laptop, get a lenovo, msi or asus.

This is good computer for light computing. Facebook games will probably be fine. I have found this is the best value for a good computer.

its decent for it. its got integrated graphics which kinda sucks, but itll play things like skyrim on low settings, if you want to use that as a benchmark. i havent noticed any overheating problem. i personally use it for gaming as im a twitch streamer and this is my main rig atm.i havent really tried newer games on it as much. it has slowdown with dolphin (gamecube/wii emulator) but runs things like Skullgirls no problem.

Depends on what you mean by "gaming"? This is a netbook with a 1.0 Ghz cpu with Turbo to 1.3 Ghz for two cores. It has the equivalent of a Radeon HD 6200 series video card. It is very good for internet browsing, e-mail, typical office tasks and very good for watching streaming video. If the game is internet-based and doesn't require a high-powered cpu and video card then it should be perfectly adequate.

I think so. I bought it to play Guild Wars 2, and I expected to to medium settings, I can run it at medium to high very easily. It's a quiet machine, and a little big, but then I can use it as part of my desk. If you compare requirements for GW2 and Rune II, that should tell you what you need to know. I would say more likely.
