Is this just good for gaming or can be good for digital art also?

I use it both for gaming and all my adobe also. I use it for video editing, digital art, music, etc. Can get a little warm on lap so suggest a laptop board of some type.

Yes, I'm using it for that reason as well. I have an Nvidia GTX 550 ti graphics card that I use and the image is perfect.

I just installed half life 2 on this and it plays smoothly (25-30FPS even during combat) at 1366 x 768 with a mix of medium and high detail (Looks great!). It can handle games just not the newest and most graphic intensive ones. Mind you I haven't upgraded to 4GB of memory yet so I'm sure it will be even better then.

Yes! I use this to draw full on logo designs, and ads in the Adobe Creative Suite. I highly recommend it over a mouse any day when it comes to the art aspect of design.

I actually dont use it very much for all of those program, my brother uses it for those purposes and tells me it is great. I mostly use it for gaming that involves 3d animations and such. Overall it is great and also looks sleek

I don't use this laptop for gaming or imaging purposes. But from what I gather, you generally want a dedicated graphics card if you want to game. This Radeon is built into the AMD A6-5350M CPU, so it's going to be slower. Just figure out what you want to use your laptop for before you buy it. I certainly didn't purchase this laptop for gaming.

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 use it for gaming. I have played Tribes Ascend, Trine 2, Starcraft 2, and the latest Elder Scrolls game. It is great. Folks have said that there is an input delay, but I don't really notice it. It is amazing. Make the jump. You will not regret it.I would highly recommend pairing it up with a adjustable desk mount (Ergotronics). I use SLI 460s and have not had any issues so far.

I don't do games. This computer seems to do well with memory. It has on board graphics and it doesn't have room for expansion cards if you need better. Super graphics seems to be important to gamers. It has worked well for me doing video and audio recording and editing, accounting and publications with picture editing.

I think it would be fine for photo editing. I actually sent back the one I ordered because I liked the color on my HP better. It seems to work well for all graphics, though I'm not a gamer. I did watch a couple of movies and they were fine, but not good enough to make me give up my HP which I use primarily for photography.

It is not made for gaming. It is fine for internet, emails, and school work.

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!

Not a gamer, but it works great for one of my Office Computers. I would recommend buying a 2GB video card. I purchased a Radeon HD 5450 for $100 for my Dell GX755. Make sure you get the motherboard Make and Model # so you can find a 2GB Video card that fits a GX620

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.

As long as the games aren't very graphics intensive. I just received this as a holiday gift, and am hunting down options for a video card upgrade. While a casual gamer by most accounts, the games with pretty graphics still struggle a bit with this rig. Hope that helps!

no, it simply would not do any good for gaming. For gaming you would need at the very minimum 4-8 GBs of RAM (this has 1 GB RAM which is very bad especially for gaming) and about 3.1GHz or an Intel Core i3 / Intel Core i5 hope this helps :)
