Okay i love this laptop i see so many bad comments. This laptop ha been the best for me. The only problem i had is my faulty charger fried my motherboad in the powerjack area and thats it. The overheat problem is easily avoided with opening the laptop and cleaning the fan and the battery has a smart sensor that goes faulty so a new one should be bought or you wont see the " plugged in not charging"

@Prence so true, i have to keep it plugged up.even with the plug in it,sometimes it acts like it doesnt even have the plug in it and worst technical support

@smasher1011 yes but u have to have low settings and make it windowed

@AimbotBoii Would I recomend the gateway md2614u laptop for wow, ummm no. Don't waste your money on this piece of garbage. Get anything besides this for wow. Plays wow well, just the laptop is full of other problems that will make you sorry you bought it.

@kc9hyr2 So thats why the battery light goes red every so often, was wondering what was going on, I had to always remove the battery to get it to change back. bought a toshiba laptop about a year before I bought the gateway and it runs with no problems. Guess I should have bought another toshiba fo my second laptop to game on. Well live and learn, I won't be buying another gateway laptop anytime soon.

I've had this laptop for almost 2 years and I have to say it sucks badly, worst laptop ever. About a month afterbuying it the hard dive died and now it won't boot up most of the time. Thinking it's an over heating problem but not sure. I removed the cover on the bottem and used caned air and cleaned it all out, I even removed the fan and cpu heatsink and replaced the thermal compound but with no luck getting it to boot all the way. IMO this was the worst choice for a laptop I've ever bought.

@kc9hyr2 I'm running on Windows 7, originally Vista. I deleted the Ubuntu partition because I couldn't log on to it. The problem with Windows 7 is that I can't expand the partition size to 250 gb or 320 gb (whatever the size is-can't remember). So I just made another partition, but it just bugs me because its more difficult to find things on my hard drive. If you could tell me how to merge them, i would be so grateful, but if not, that's alright. :)

@greg8west updating to windows 7 was so easy just pop the disk in and wait a few hours and you have windows 7 all your files are saved too!!

It ran World of Warcraft pretty good so I think it would run other games pretty good.
