i know what a gamer is, but what is considered a "high end user"?

High-end user is someone who plans to have several business applications running at the same time that require a fair amount of memory and CPU usage. If such a user has a computer with a slow processor and minimal memory they will complain about performance.

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 not. But it runs relatively cool. Even while playing Skrim or Bioshock: Infinite maxed out.

I do not use the graohics or cad and I can not really help you. The only thing I can say it an average or higher PC, over-all.

Recent high-end games may have minimum requirements that surpass this machine, which you can check on the game's site or info. The old Starcraft would probably be fine on it though. And you can look for one with a lot of RAM in it since that can be different each time.

I would assume that it is. It suits my needs perfectly, but I'm not a gamer. The added processor & memory sure can't hurt.

This system is compatible with some games, you may need to add a faster graphics card for a better experience. This system is NOT recommended for high-end games.

I do not do "gaming" and have little experience of it. Have a feeling though that if I did and wanted to be serious about it, I'd get something with more "horsepower". Good Luck! Hope it helps.

That depends of your budget and your visual and performance tastes on playing. For a wide middle-range gaming experience, a single one is more than enough.

The person who's too busy with there lol sarcastic remark, may I remind you that if you get off your high horse and realize that maybe I' m not from your generation. There are people in this world that don't understand everything there is to know about a computer. Thanks for nothing!

To be honest, I'm not a gaming person, so I probably wouldn't be the best source. I know that for my needs it was a great value for the price. Sorry I couldn't be more help. Good luck!

It can handle games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, League of Legends, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2, Minecraft etc. not all on high settings.

Depends on what you want to run. 8GB is plenty for high-end gaming at the moment.

Yes. I'm in the same boat and this computer is awesome. Not to mention that it runs all of my online games like World of Warcraft with no issue.

i've seen specs with at least 30000 hours. I'm sure this can vary higher as Bryan mentioned.

my friend plays LoL on the highest settings possible, i also have an extra 4 gb's of RAM, but it can definitely play Lol on high. I dont have WoW so i can't say if it can handle it or not. This laptop can also play battlefield 3 on medium and Star Wars the Old Republic on low settings.
