Is this laptop good enough to handle video editing ? Downloading music, watching movies, playing HD videos on youtube ? I want more details.

The only thing I have not tried on this Laptop is Video Editing. I have done everything else with no problems. Hope this answers your question.

"I have not used this computer for graphics or video editing, but for everything that I have used it for (general computer use) it is fantastic. I bought this computer because my tabletop computer couldn't keep up with what I considered basic stuff like surfing the web or working in Excel or Word documents. The old computer would bog down if I had two or three programs going at once, but this laptop is lickity split. No matter how many programs I have running it has never slowed down one little bit, so I would think that it should work just fine with graphics and editing.

YES! The quad processor is fast and intel Hd 4000 works well on some of the other laptops I have.Maybe a little more ram would help, but yes it would work good for game capturing and editing as is!

It all depends from your internet connection. The laptop can handle hd videos albeit not full screen

I think this laptop is designed for playing games and watching movies or sth, so it is good for games, but not the biggest ones which need very high hardware configuration. For normal work, I think it is suitable too.

Brett, I am a professional photographer but don't really do any video editing on this laptop. As far as photo editing, I think it's pretty great, especially for the price I paid for it. I second-guessed the screen calibration but checked it to be fairly spot-on. I am using Photoshop CS5 on it, and it runs just fine with the RAM and decent processor speed. My priority on a laptop purchase was the screen size, this one being 15.5" it was about as small as I wanted to go. All in all I am pleased with this machine, and I purchased it specifically for image editing and transmitting as I work for local news media and sporting teams here. Hope this helps.

Sadly no, these machines are good only for word processing and email and some scripting. This computer does not have enough RAM to play YouTube (even if you max it with 576mb). If you buy this buy it for PowerPoint and Word and email and light websites like ebay and amazon.

This is a very limited computer, it has a web cam with less than average quality. Of course you can record videos with it and upload them to youtube, but again they are low quality. More advanced video processing, editing, may be out of the league of this laptop.

Haven't watched any movies yet, but lots of HD YouTube videos. I have fast Internet so everything loads fast. Videos stream flawlessly if originating server is fast or there isn't a clog in the pipe elsewhere. Buy plenty of RAM; 8GB minimum in my opinion. More is better.

It's a decent budget laptop, I upgraded mine with 8GB RAM and an SSD, running Windows 7 Ultimate. If it's just a cracked screen you can order one off eBay and replace it yourself, I had to replace mine and it was only about $40 IIRC.

I am not sure how resource heavy video editing is, but here is what I have been doing with it. I first upgraded it to 8 gb ram and windows 8.1 professional, and it is used as a hideaway mobile pc for a semi truck. I have been using it for 2 years, and it performs everything I need to run my business, and all without a hitch. Scanning, printing, all sorts of document manipulation, trucking software, asset tracking, payroll etc. It has exceeded my expectations. I would think if you upgrade the ram, it should do a decent job for video editing, but would be a poor choice for gaming. Hope that helps.

this depends on what the main task is. If you are using it for email and internet then you are good to go. If you are going to do some photoshop editing and 3d modeling then way too low. Hopefully this help.

Without a doubt. Yes. I did however add an Nvidia video card to the computer with 2GB of Ram. Other than that the computer has handled everything I've thrown at it from video editing (HD) to full blown audio studio recording with Native Instruments Komplete, Camel Audio Alchemy, FL Studio, Ableton Live and more... can't go wrong with these guys.

Stuff like flash (youtube) is very processor (cpu) dependent; I recently put this in an old machine which had an old intel core 2 duo e4700 and it was fine. So compare that with your own setup. It did seem like it was stuttering if anything else was running. It might be worth it to put another 10 dollars into the video card, but if all your going to be doing is running youtube video it's fine. (Although seriously consider bumping up slightly.)

7. This laptop is great. All depend on what you're using it for. There are not a lot of accessories. The processor is amazing, graphics not too great, but you never have to worry about storage.

This is very good laptop overall, just Windows 7 are slowing it down quite a bit ( despite 3 GB of RAM installed).If you gonna use this I recommend replacing Windows w/ Linux ( I use Lubuntu very light & efficient free OS).

Very much so! It is ranked by 3DMark as comparable to lower end ASUS Gamer's Republic family of laptops. YouTube can be touch and go because the serious problems in Windows 8, but no model laptop form any manufacturer can escape. But the dynamic use of two different graphics solutions gives the best for college applications and great gaming. Even includes an nVidia PhysX processor!
