I use it as a desktop computer, not for gaming. I do a lot of Photoshop / Illustrator work and I wanted a computer that didn't lag. With a decent RAM and a good graphics card, my work is fluid. The only downside is that the computer heats up a lot. I think this is due to the graphics card. But for the moment, it doesn't affect performance. I've also chosen a ventilated stand, which cools things down a bit better.
