I'm looking for a new laptop, I've got about $700cdn. I'm looking for something that will be able to multitask smoothly and it must not have problems like overheating. I found this pretty cheap one on tigerdirect

How does it look? what kind of games do you think it could run?

Not many. Older games maybe, but certainly not newer titles. It runs off an Integrated graphics solution from Intel and they are horrid for gaming. Other tasks it will be ok for, just not games.

ok games don't really matter that much for me, how well would it do multitasking and stuff as long as it will run smooth then I'm fine with it. Do you think it's a good deal?

It'd be fine for basic uses like email, video watching, etc. It's not a bad deal, but it is a refurbished unit which means that it was returned to either TigerDirect or to Gateway for some reason, was fixed and then sent back to be resold.
