I have a PS3 and it is friggen awesome to play on!!! It has multiple HDMI ports so you can have a satellite receiver, game console, Blu ray player all hooked up at the same time without an A-B switch.

I have been playing my ps4 and is not bad for a plasma tv, of course picture on a LED would be much cleaner. Overall I think that it has a great picture for gaming.

I don't play games but it is supposed to be average on game performance. With quad core processor, 6G RAM and a fairly good video processor you should be OK. I use for Netflix and Youtube and the download and video performance is great. No problems whatsoever.

very good for a laptop that isn't high priced. i play alot of video games and it handles everything pretty well

hi, Eva. it really depends on what kind of game you want to play on it. if regular online game, it is fine. but you might want to enlarge the RAM as well.

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.

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.

Yes, I bought it just for gaming. But I don't really like its gaming mode (it does not show the real image, it kinda adds a filter to it). But, It's 27inch, and it has a reasonable price, so...pretty good in general

I think this laptop is designed for playing games and watching movies or sth, so it is good for games, but not the biggest ones which need very high hardware configuration. For normal work, I think it is suitable too.

I have the 50 M501 and It's great for gaming. I've used the PS3 and PS4 on it and have not had any issues whatsoever.

If you're looking for a video card for gaming I'd recommend a card with higher specs. I use it for videos on my HTPC and light gaming, it performs as I need it to, but it lags.

Yes, it'll play any source games like CSGO and TF2 perfectly fine, even at high graphics. You'll get around 200-300 fps in quiet areas if not much is going on, and maybe you'll get around 30 fps if you happen to find yourself in an area with like 12 people all running around spamming grenades and other explosives.

It will handle light online games but I wouldn't try anything that is very graphics intensive like Halo.It is great for all the light tasks you mention above. The keyboard is full size so it's a good standard keyboard for kids learning how to type.

its pretty good. it does have some issues with skype though but I've used them for gaming and it works fine. (skype might be the issue though it works very poorly on windows 8)

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.

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

I play PS4 (Destiny and Advanced Warefare) on it and it seems great to me. I would recommend getting some type of speakers or head set because the sound on the TV is terrible though.
