Honestly I can't play much on it in the first place. It has one of those awful Integrated Intel Graphics cards, so almost every special effect gives it problems. It's really my only problem with the laptop, but since gaming isn't what I bought it for in the first place it's not a big deal.
As for dual booting...eh I could, but I dunno. Like I said, gaming isn't a big deal, and as a result Windows isn't a big deal either unless I have issues with the touch screen again. I've been looking around and see ways to get all the functionality working, but I was hoping someone would have personal experience with such features on Ubuntu's newer versions. I've found a few help threads that basically give me everything I need to install and get it working, but the question is if I'll actually still have that functionality. The touch screen is basically flawless right now, I love it, and as a result if I lose that then it's probably not really worth my time. I see that the drivers exist, and seem to be more supported now, but it's simply a question of how good they are, and if there's really that much battery life improvement for running in Ubuntu over Windows 7.
