My mom wanted a "laptop that wouldn't freeze or get obsolete fast" and had a 17" screen. Had to direct her to one of Acer's weaker gaming setups. The most demanding stuff she plays are those hidden object games that you also find on phones. Wasted potential, but she's been happy and without a single complaint of it slowing down in 2 years

Wasted potential,

Nah, better cooling, lots of battery, better 2d acceleration. Not as advantageous as playing real games on it, but the hardware will make 2d experiences nicer.

We got an Alienware R8 then had kids. It's played media center and main computer/storage for our entire house for almost a decade with zero problems and gets used for hours and hours every day. We've even moved it cross country a few times. I don't think anyone has ever played a real game on it.
