1. Intel celeron and dedicated graphics?

   You will be lucky if it plays 1080P Videos let alone Video games.

   You need to pay a lot more for a gaming laptop.



2. no you want atleast 3-4 gig ram and gaming computer is mostly about the fan and video card


3. The laptop is not good for a gaming, if you want to play in games on your laptop you should choose something with graphic card (ATI or nVidia not Intel)


4. Such a great choice


5. This laptop is not meant for gaming at all. It has a weak processor with built in graphics card which is barely enough to watch proper HD videos. Your RAM is just enough to run windows vista or 7, which requires 1GB of ram as a bare minimum to run.

   If you really want to game, try something else...



6. Im pretty sure my toaster has more then 2GB of RAM...


7. No, good gaming laptops cost at least $1000 and great ones cost $3000. If you ask me, gaming and laptops do not go together.
