How is it for gaming? Can anyone confirm this?

I noticed lag when using movie mode. I started using game mode for gaming and there is no lag.

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.

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.

I have not tried, but I would not recommend it for gaming. I played some older games on it, and they had some lag ...

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.

its decent for it. its got integrated graphics which kinda sucks, but itll play things like skyrim on low settings, if you want to use that as a benchmark. i havent noticed any overheating problem. i personally use it for gaming as im a twitch streamer and this is my main rig atm. i havent really tried newer games on it as much. it has slowdown with dolphin (gamecube/wii emulator) but runs things like Skullgirls no problem.

Yeah it's from the website but it is not the most recent model available there.it is built specifically to play pc games. I use steam and origin to download a lot of games, you can get decent quality graphics without lag.

Not sure. Probably yes, but most likely decent means different things to me than it does to you. It seems to me that better options are available for gaming at this price point. I'm not a gamer, only a guess. YMMV

I use it to play Call of Duty on Xbox and it works great. You might want to look for a little lower latency, though. There's an Acer 23" IPS 5ms for less $ than this one. Looks just like it though. Also, my audio out port stopped working. I had been plugging a headset into it every time I played. It didn't hold up.

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.

For me, it plays games like Wolfenstein (bought from steam) and other purchased games with no problem at all. It's really good with hirez games bought From steam.

It's only a fair gaming machine. While the processor is powerful, it's slow by today's standards. I think you would be frustrated with the games your are looking at.

I am using it as a monitor. I had the previous generation model used as the same. Neither is gaming, so I can't respond to that, but as a big screen monitor with built-in speakers, it works great.

It is good for gaming coupled with good RAM and GPU. I've had mine since 2011. Overclocked to 4.0Ghz with an EVGA FTW3 mother board. It has some limitations, but for the price it's at now, it's a great budget pick. I've seen some on ebay for around $60-$90. Hope this helps!

I am not a gamer, but it is good for heavy graphics work, so it should work for that. Sorry, I really don't know the answer. I have been very satisfied with the product though.

No lag. It is amazing. I am used to high detailed gaming on a pc so usually I notice the smallest amount of lag. Amazing reaction time.
