Here's the problem. The processor is an N3540 Pentium also known as a "Bay Trail" processor. These are lower end processors that are designed to be inexpensive. They are much less powerful than "normal" Intel processors like an i3 or i5. And then the motherboards are made all as one piece so there is no way to upgrade the processor. You could likely upgrade to 8 gigs of RAM but that is not really going to help the gaming performance much. So consider the laptop probably cost $300 or less and you can do Skype and email and internet. It is faster than a tablet, just not upgradeable in any meaningful way. They do run cool and have very good battery life.
