I'm not a gamer but add a graphics card and this baby would keep up with the best. I just do some stuff and store family pictures, and keep my ipods/media players music fresh. This is a lot of machine for the money. Performs very well right out of the box, however did have a few updates to go through. I was disappointed that it can't be updated to Windows 11. Thought it met requirements but didn't, it being a 4th gen i7 is why it failed. Must be at least 7th gen. But I can and will live with it for many years, fingers crossed. The USB n wifi that's included is a joke, I added wi-fi 6x card with Bluetooth.
