Judging by the price and the specs, I think you'd be better with either a better laptop or buy a custom.

Do you count Solitaire as a really good game?

You might want to save up some more money as gaming on that would be near impossible

I think that this laptop is capable of playing SOME games well, and others not so well.

The biggest problem with this laptop is that it doesn't have enough RAM.

I think the bigger issue would be the CPU and IntelHD graphics instead of dedicated. 4GB RAM is good enough for most games, 8GB is beneficial.

:facepalm: Really? He should swap 4GB laptop RAM for 32GB? Not only is there no need for 32GB RAM in any gaming PC, but swapping RAM in a laptop isn't exactly the easiest task, that's if it's even possible in that certain laptop. I'm not even positive you could get 32GB RAM for a laptop. Then again, I don't know much about laptops since it's a bad idea using them to game unless you travel a lot and have to, which I don't personally.

You Can buy ram for laptops but typically it is quite the annoying experience and time consuming and usually not even worth it, and it has to be manufacturer approved RAM or It has to have the name of the laptop in it, Sometimes the manufacturer will list it in the manual.(For Example it would say #GB Memory for Dell inspiron #### #### ####, And it would just list a bunch of models and you would need to see if yours is supported, because laptops do require 204 Pin instead of 240) and I think most laptops only support 16GB (Or at least the ones Ive owned have been) if im not mistaken. But yea I agree with sanctorum, 4GB is not the issue, Even though 4GB is kinda skimping a little its currently just enough to handle alot/most games fine (Except for realling demanding ones).Then when I upgraded my old one it was quite the pain as well to open and take out the RAM.

Note: I did some research and this PC is only expandable to 8GB.
Heres a good place to start:[url=search.Dell.com]Search Dell [/url]

Other than that it should be able to play a few games, such as Counter-strike, Fallout 3, alot of 2D indies, maybe minecraft (I never play it so I dont know) and maybe games such as the first payday. But I dont see to many games your able to play sadly though.

If the laptop has 4GB RAM, it is more than likely on a 32 Bit OS so upgrading RAM is pointless
