No I'm not planning on gaming, that's why I got it. But even if I did game, are laptops very good for gaming? I think they get too hot for gaming. It is intended just for internet browsing, school work, and watching videos. I kinda wish I just would have shelled out another $200 so I could get an i5 model with a dedicated Nvidia card. I got this particular model because it came with a free web cam. I was playing around with it for awhile longer, it is not as slow as I thought. It has a lot of bloatware on it. People are telling me to reinstall the OS, but it didn't come with disks. I have to download and burn them. Can you install Windows 7 without a disk? I think I'm just going to leave it. Newegg only accepts replacements on opened laptops. I think I like Windows XP better, Windows 7 tries to be more innovative but I liked the simplicity of XP, SP3.
