I put another 4gb of memory in the free slot you have in this computer and have 8gb total now and I have been able to do what I want.

Yes. Skyrim should work well on this laptop. I currently play World of Warcraft and haven't had any issues. The requirements don't differ much.

No this is very basic computer, a very good model but graphics, processing and memory are no where near what you would need for gaming. this model is good for getting online, watching shows online and storage of pictures and documents, and some basic computing programs. search for gaming models.

This is a basic spec laptop. You can play games on it and have access to Windows Store but it is not a gaming laptop.

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.

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.

No... I wouldn't game on this laptop. Modern games usually require a more powerful processor.

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

The laptop is a decent one it can run world of warcraft or diablo 3. Not sure on minecraft the screen hinges on satellite are bad if screws are missing so make sure all screws are still in it if you get one

It will run any modern games, and probably well. Though you might not be able to max out the settings depending on the game. Of course, it is very upgradable, and you could always just put in a new power supply and graphics card.

It is a nice laptop to be sure, but it is not a gaming rig. In my experience running games on laptops works best if they have dedicated graphics memory such as NVIDIA's GeForce series processors. The laptop you mentioned utilizes the Intel Haswell HD 5000 Series on-board graphics memory, which is good enough for almost any everyday task such as email, web videos and so on. If you are a serious gamer, then buying a laptop with dedicated (or separate) graphics card is a must.

Yes it is and is a great laptop. Got it for my dad so I cannot benchmark games on it.

Hi Tyler yes you can play some games, but some of the games requires good video card and I believed these laptops should have 128mb or 256mb video on board so you have to check with your games what is the requirement Thank you

For a non-gaming laptop, it actually games pretty well. I've played Civ5 and Guild Wars 2 on mine and it does fine. It gets a bit hot on the underside when you have been at it for a while but overall, pretty good laptop.

I have a Dell Inspiron notebook that I use it with. I have only used it to run other types of programs, haven't tried any games. Probably would depend on game specs if it would satisfy the requirement.

It is a smooth running laptop but as for its gaming performance I can't comment. It's not really designed for it. I use it for work and casual web surfing

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.
