Is this a computer you can play games on? What do you look for that lets you know a computer is good for that?

This is a good computer and facebook games do not demand much from a PC from a technical stand point, so technically, a cheaper $300 netbook will do the trick there. If you want actual gaming (Counter Strike, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, F.E.A.R. ETC) then you need a different PC since this one has very limited upgrades due to it's small/compact size. If you need a strong Notebook/Laptop for gaming, go with a 15" alienware/dell or a 15' HP

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.

Hi Wendy, Apologies for the slowness in response. The laptop is a good, inexpensive laptop for using basic services but not really a gaming laptop.

Don't get this to play games with it. There's a noticeable lag when playing games. It's good to use for normal computer use.... But I wouldn't recommend gaming with it.

You can play some games. Because of the chipset used and its' limitations, the best games to play are "point and click" or turn based games. The more dynamic games are hard to control and will stutter or simply freeze.

Graphics-wise, this is not a computer designed for complex graphic-based games. It is fine for general gameing use.

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!

I play world of Warcraft on it, works good but not as good as my Alienware.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I think this computer is too slow and clunky for gaming. It's a great computer for other things, such as spreadsheets and office work, and fine for photo work.

I've never played minecraft on it. It is a good general purpose computer. It's fairly rugged. I've played battlezone 3 on it and starcraft. I'm guessing that if you are playing games that are older than 8 years you should be safe.

It's great for gaming. Best computer on the market right now for the price point it's at.

I think it will run your games great. I have install two of these in new computers and they run the high end games that the person wanted to run.

You will be able to play some games like that, it depends all on the graphics demand of the game. The processor Itself is amazing. But the graphics card is integrated. I was definitely satisfied with the computer itself but I also bought an AMD Radeon HD 7770 graphics card. It's one of the cheaper high end graphics cards out there.

The games a little kid would play should probably run fine on this. Flash games that you find on websites should also have no trouble. However, if they require a CD or DVD for installation, then you might have trouble since these laptops all lack those optical drives. Dont expect to play any "serious" games on it, though (the kind an older kid would want).

This laptop is certainly not intended for gaming although gaming is still possible. Experience may vary from one title to the next although in most situations it won't be sufficient enough. To answer your question, no it wouldn't be a good gaming computer though for everything else it should suffice.

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.
