Can you run a Microsoft Flight Simulator on this computer with good graphics results?

I can't honestly answer that question. I'm not into anything that would take that high level of 'game playing ability." It has done everything Gateway and Microsoft have claimed it would. Win 8 has been a pain.

I would think so. Ive had no trouble with the graphics card whatsoever. I play a flight simulator online but it uses older graphics...

It does have on-board graphics; however, depending on your uses for the computer, I would recommend a graphics card. Even a low-end card drastically increases performance. Again, it depends on your budget and what you want the machine to do for you.

This laptop can easily run it even when using higher-level graphics settings. However, if you're planning on running more upscale games in the future, swapping out the graphics card would be recommended.

Easily, yes. I've run it on a windows XP, 7, and 8, and it has always run smoothly.

Definitely! It more than meets the minimum system requirements listed here: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri/requirements/the-sims-3/10845/?p=r

Windows 7 has an XP emulator and runs Flight Simulator 2004 just fine. I ran the program for years on XP and recently upgraded to Windows 7 by saving all of my saved flights from XP and reloading. It was like I never left. Don't be concerned about XP or Windows 7, this program works flawlessly on both.

you can go either way, if you need to use onboard graphics though, you need to have a CPU with that capability... check Intels site for which CPUs support onboard graphics

Personally, I've never run a game on any computer so I can not answer your question. But this machine is equipped with a very powerful core i-7 processor and a good graphics so my best guess is it will do the job as well as anything out there. The machine is installed with 64 bit Window 7 Pro.

I have the AMD one, and so far it's worked like a charm! I can't find anything wrong with the graphics at all.

It will run for a low settings. But you can always upgrade to a higher graphic card in the future.

Well I run Microsoft flight simulators on this at high settings...no lag or anything. So use that as a guide. Its also rated well for the high graphics games like cod and bf.

You should be able to use this on any computer that has a graphics program.

The unit uses an i3 Intel processor, 4GB Ram and a 500GB HDD. I think you would be disappointed with the graphics as it uses an integrated Intel chip and not a separate graphics board which would be better for gaming speeds and better resolution. I am using an Astronomy program on my i7 with 6GB Ram and two 120GB SSD's. This program will not fully function on my Asus but I can run some basic features. Hope this helps.

If you are not going to use a super performance graphic card then yes. that would be good enough.

That computer comes with Windows Vista... Its pretty old computer -- you'd be better off investing your money into something newer. It does have Nvidia onboard graphics... I mean it works but it depends on what you want to do. If you're trying to play games, this won't work. If you're trying to browse email, watch youtube videos and basic ordinary stuff... Yeah this should work fine. But I still highly recommend you buy something else that is newer. Good luck

Yes but... It needs to be SP2 64bit and If you're running vista, you likely have an old graphics card. This needs a pretty good card. Read the specs before buying otherwise it won't run and most sellers don't accept returns on PC games.

No, there is no onboard graphics. It will use the built in graphics on your CPU if your CPU has it.
