Can this be used for gaming on a home computer?

You should be able to. I use mine while playing games through steam with no problem. There is no mute button, but otherwise no complaints.

This headset is actually recommended by CNET as a fantastic, economical alternative to traditional, more expensive gaming headsets.

Sure. You can hear anything on your computer, whether Skype or games or music.

I am sure you probably can, but I would definitely recommend comparing the specs requirements of the game to the specs of the laptop.

You'll want a better graphics chip for gaming. It could probably run, but not terribly well.

I would believe you can although I do not use this for gaming. It's a pretty good laptop so I'm sure you can game on it as well :)

it really depends on the motherboard... you need to have a PCI Express 2.1 x 16 port to plug it in. the card should be more than enough to run that game

I would not use this as a gaming machine. There is no way it can handle the latest games of today BUT it is a very solid home office platform that can do the job that any home office can throw at it. I bought this as a gift and from what I have been told it handles Word office, a dictation system, scanner and other home office software with no issues. Biggest plus was that it still had Windows 7 and the person I bought it for could handle this system without going through another learning curve. Remember this is just a Intel Core i3-3110M 2.3 GHz Processor system. Strong but not really a gaming system - The only thing I would suggest is to upgrade the 4 GB DIMM RAM to at least 8 GB. Memory upgrade will be the easiest and provide the best performance upgrade for this system.

I am sure it can. It run's as simple as plugging in a mouse the issue is finding a game it's compatible with. I'm not sure if the this was aimed towards people who use simulators.. but it doesn't work with a lot of online games.

not if you expect to do any graphics or game playing. the bandwidth is not sufficent and it is not driven by your graphics card.

Not really... This needs 48v phantom power and a proper mic input. Of course you can get an interface that will connect this to a PC, but then why not just get an inexpensive gaming headset or a usb mic. This mic is an awkward choice for gaming.

No, I wouldn't recommend it for gaming. It is best used as a family low graphics laptop.

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.

Yes, but it's not being used for gaming. This was purchased for my college son who uses it for spreadsheet comparison and instructions

Yes it can, I use it as a daily computer during the week and for gaming on the weekend.

we don't use it for gaming. my husband basically uses it for surfing the internet. we have been very happy with it so far.

Although I've never prrsonally tried it, in theory you should be able too. Look to insure your games specifications as some may be too advanced to be compatible. Remember this device is purposed to allow one to continue using outdated components. Good luck

I'd have to say NO from the information I got from my 14-years old son. He tried to play a game called Dragon Age and it's a "no go" (his words). You have to keep things in perspective because the specs is clearly not for heavy gaming. It's a fine PC to be attached to the back of an LCD and used as a productivity machine, or to the back of a living room TV as an HTPC, but it's not for heavy gaming. Using it as a media-consuming HTPC, it can play all my local video files, including 4K.

I'm afraid not. The technology in this computer is too old unfortunately. I bought one specifically to run older games and software.
