can it stream video games like a pro?

Probably not because it's a laptop with a laptop processor. I would recommend a desktop with At least a 3.0 GHz clock speed processor and 8 GB of ram for smooh streaming. If you want to stick with a laptop though you can go with a higher end procesor. I would get at least an Intel i5 with good clock speed and 4 to 6 GB of ram is enough to stream but I'd recommend 8 if you can afford it. Higher end games will require more than lower end ones so keep that in mind. Hope this gives you a direction at least.

It can handle games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, League of Legends, Counter Strike: Global Offensive, Team Fortress 2, Minecraft etc. not all on high settings.

Yes It will Stream 1080p HD and Play 1080p Files. I play HD Videos on this Laptop all the Time especially when I plug it up to The Television through The HDMI. It Has a 1GB ATI Radeon Buit in Graphics Card also Great for Medium Gaming if that helps too.

The Gigabyte mini is only used for word processing and email. Could not tell you about streaming.

Could I play games such as NBA 2K14 or even games that require a good video card with this laptop?

I bought tis for my husband at Christmas. He has not tried that with it. It might have some games, but he thinks it would be very limited. HOpe that helps you.He does love it for the music streaming, though!

Yes it can with an app to allow you to connect to DLNA streaming devices (such as this Synology box), your only concern will be the amount of bandwidth to provide a quality stream.

Absolutely. We use ours on a wireless LAN to stream and play all kinds of internet games and this thing is a beats. It handles high res HD video gaming and stream without a problem. i7 intel processor is the best you can get on this type of system.

I'm sorry I can't help you here because I don't do gaming. It seems to stream videos just fine and is faster than my old one. Probably not much help, huh?

Yes it will, but if you are getting this to use it on a xbox one or ps4 they both have twitchTV streaming built in so then it wont be worth it to get this just for that.

Everyone is correct. If you have an HDMI capture device then you can, but this would be an add-on card. Your better bet is an SDI to USB3 device like Magewell SDI dongle ($300). Stay away from Blackmagic for streaming. It works but is a pain to configure.

No, but I use my ps3 as a media server to stream from my PC. You can do the same with an Xbox360.

I personally bought a tablet just so I could view Netflix and YouTube on my tablet. I'm terribly sorry for the late response but in short, yes it does. However, since it is a quadcore it specializes in 3D gaming and multitasking. Seeing as streaming is a single task, I would recommend a dual core unless you are like myself and like to have open your paper as well as iFunny :) and a browser at the same time.

I have been very disjointed with this device. The speed of operation is also too slow for live gaming... You might have to spend some more money to get the performance and reliability you need... However,,, please let me know if you do try it and it works...

It streams okay but is not the machine for you if you are into extreme gaming.

not if you expect to do any graphics or game playing. the bandwidth is not sufficent and it is not driven by your graphics card.
