Yes, it's very fast. My son uses the computer for video games, YouTube, etc. Excellent computer.

Definitely not. There's so much packed into such a limited computer that watching videos is pretty impossible. Gaming depends on the game. The more advanced, the harder it is to use. School work works just fine for me, however.(:

To me this is a fast computer! I don't play video games. It will certainly be quite good for your school work. Suggest that you look at your video game site and see what the specifications are, then cross check here with the information that Amazon provides. The Toshiba site also has good information and I checked it several times while I was deciding which computer would be right for me. There should be an 800 number on that site.

yes. you have one of two choices with it. install windows 7... or wait until windows 9 comes out. thr RAM, PROCESSOR and HARD DRIVE are upgradeable. the video card is strong enough for High Def. a good find for a geek or a geek to setup (be the administrator of) for a loved one.

Yes but it is not a fast gamer. More for "On the go computing", due to small size and light weight. If Gaming is your thing, you will be disappointed. It is a great business box though.

It would work, but it's kind of slow - even when doing things like just web surfing and opening files. You could spend a little more and get something with noticeably better performance, and you would be happier. But if this is all you can afford, I think it's not a bad choice.

Depends on the amount of ram you dedicate to video. Light gaming no problem.

This computer is fast and also isn't that good for gaming. The graphics card is kind of crappy. Depending upon what type of hard drive you have . . . You could open up the case and plug in your old hard drive. OR you could transfer it through your network. . . Google would have detailed instructions as well.

I think so. This was a gift for my granddaughter who just graduated from high school. Seems as if she had to purchase a flash player to go with this laptop. She loves it though.

Not really sure. I don't do any video stuff. But it's a really good computer -- fast and reliable

Hello KC. Your mini would come with more then enough ram to do what you need. You have a 2.5 ghz processor, 4 gigs of ram... and if you manage to outgrow that you can upgrade the ram down the road. I am a graphic artist and work with memory intensive programs, it is very fast and haven't noticed any lag time as long as you don't have too many other programs open in the background. There is also an additional perk that you Mini comes pre-loaded with iMovie software so you can create videos from scratch. :)

It's powerful enough to handle basic video editing (chopping together home movies or YouTube videos) and could certainly handle music editing. I've played some games on it and they seem to run smoothly. It does not have a discrete graphics card, only packs 4GB of ram, and has an tiny 11" screen, so this definitely isn't a gaming laptop, but it will play your basic PC game.

It does more than just homework... it's basically a moderate gaming computer as well. Plugged in it will run almost any game smoothly. And if it can run a game no question it's good for homework.

Sorry, I really am not sure as I bought it for my sister as a basic computer. I'm also not familiar with the speed and RAM memory requirements for those games, but would think it would be a risk as the video graphics engine is built into the mother board and may not have enough video memory to give a good smooth performance as this is a computer with about 10 year old technology.

This machine has enough RAM and graphics for editing videos. However, I would get a machine with the new 4th generation processor, Haswell. Mine has the 3rd generation.

Nickie this a all around laptop only thing it does not have is dvd drive so I suggest if you require a dvd drive go that route but if you don't require a dvd drive this laptop will handle your college needs hope my advice helps Matthew

PC is pretty fast. Web surfing will only be as fast as your router if you go wireless. Windows 8 takes getting used to. If you like gaming you might want more RAM.

If you want to play candy crush or other facebook games, yes. If you want to playLeague of Legends/World of Warcraft/Crysis/any graphical game that came out after 2002 then no. You need a laptop with a dedicated video card and you're looking at a minimum of $800 for a laptop that will run most games produced in the past few years.

Yes! This computer is extremely fast so perfect for web browsing, streaming movies, etc. All the same things you'd do on a non gaming laptop!
