is this laptop good with game play and video?

though I am not a gamer per se let me tell you that I play the game Luxor Evolved without adding any support to the laptop and it handles it without fault and the graphics are explosive in this game like a continual 4th of July (just google the game and see the graphics in many videos on youtube)...also no problem with viewing netflix or Amazon streaming videos and movies ... what else can I say except that I have replaced over the years quite a few computers but never a Dell and I have three of them now...have a great day

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

Effectively this is an old laptop. As far as I know gamers want the latest, greatest, fastest, with huge memory and probably solid-state hard-disk. Video should be 'dedicated graphics' (should show as a separate high-end video card in the device manager). If you have a desktop with no video card and you use the ONBOARD VIDEO, that is 'integrated graphics'. Video Editing ok, but not gaming. I have a Z77 chipset, i5 chip, 32gb memory, onboard video, SSD (desktop, not my Gateway). I would add a high-end video card if I started gaming. Talk to a hard-core gamer, so you don't regret a purchase.

No. It's a great laptop but not for gaming. I got it for my father who only browses the web and checks email.

I will say you can play video games on it. But if you really care about the speed and quality of image, I suggest you to buy something more expensive.

its good enough to play up to date games with settings just below best graphics and perform without any lag. and you can always purchase a better graphics card in the future

Not so far. But keep it in mind: This is not an game laptop, when you buy it you are buying fast boot and ultra portability like no other laptop can offer considering price and features. If you want a gamer or high performance laptop, choose another Asus laptop with dedicated video card and more RAM(ate least 8gb). Anyway I run heavy software as Sony Vegas in this ultrabook and have not faced any problem.

I bought it for my father-in-law, so I'm not using it all the time. But... I'm thinking it may be that good as a gaming machine. - it does have a good-sized hard drive and a decent processor, but it doesn't have the high end video card that would be best for gaming. It seems to be a good computer and the price was good though.

Could I play games such as NBA 2K14 or even games that require a good video card with this laptop?

This laptop has Integrated Intel HD Graphics. If you will be using this for heavy gaming and video streaming, it will do the job because of the Intel i5 Processor, perhaps this will help >> http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1686074/intel-graphics-4000-gaming.html. I'd recommend for you to check out different community Forums and see what others have to say. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure, check the specifications of the game and compare them with the laptop.

I neve did any gaming on mine, but I watched a substantial amount of movies on it and never had any processing troubles, so I would imagine that some light gaming would be alright. And I believe, at least mine did, came with windows 8 already installed.

I would assume that it is. It suits my needs perfectly, but I'm not a gamer. The added processor & memory sure can't hurt.

It's more than enough for games, but the GPU is more important in this case. I have the i5-4670 + GTX 770 and it plays almost all games at maximum graphics settings at 1920x1080

To me this is a fast computer! I don't play video games. It will certainly be quite good for your school work. Suggest that you look at your video game site and see what the specifications are, then cross check here with the information that Amazon provides. The Toshiba site also has good information and I checked it several times while I was deciding which computer would be right for me. There should be an 800 number on that site.

I would also like to know about gaming on this laptop. I'm looking into a new laptop for myself, and as a gamer I would like to know how well games perform on this PC.

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.
