No, if he is looking to do some serious gamin and doesn't want lag while watching videos you may want to get him a dell gaming laptop or something by cyberpowerpc :) hope that helps! Processor needs to be at least an i5 if he wants a smooth entertainment experience.. This computer is good for office work.. You'll need more for him to be happy

I would not buy this computer. For me it did not respond well to the simplest of tasks.....i.e. logging on, Bluetooth problems etc. I bought an ACER instead, not great either but better.

that would depend on what your needs are. This is a laptop with the power of a powerful desktop

I am very pleased with this laptop.Due to the fact that my one living parent is elderly, I would not recommend this laptop for him. He does well on his computer, but I might show him this fascinating one and what all it can do. He might request one!

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.

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.

Yes, I'm not a computer expert either. I am just a basic user. I really love it. It seems user friendly to me and I enjoy using it. I get my e-mail and look up different things and play games. What is also nice is that you can take it wherever you want in the house and it runs off a battery providing you get the wireless router for it, which doesn't cost much. I would buy it again if needed. Have fun.

I'm doing the same thing. I am thinking along the same lines as you. My concern now is that her laptop is a bit antiquated...hope we don't end up buying another laptop to make it all work smoothly.

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.

It's a great little machine, but it is NOT gamer capable. That's totally not the market this is focused at - think of this thing as a modern "netbook". It's fine for browsing the web and general "office" apps, but you aren't going to want to run anything beyond web-based games on it.

Nope- sorry! I use mine at home and it is great replacement for your old computer but is not a tablet or even close.

I will have to ask my husband. It is his computer. But he loves it. It does every thing he needs and wants it to do. I will get back with you and let you know what he says about it.

Hello, I have used HP and Dell in the past. I use wireless keyboard and mouse at home while connected to a 2nd monitor, that way I can choose the best fit for me. When traveling I take only my laptop. The mouse pad is able to be set to individual preferences. The keyboard is comfortable for my larger hands which slows me down a bit but otherwise it is adequate. This computer can be set for touch transfer from other devices and is very fast in downloads and general processing. For the price, the quality is great and so far very dependable. Windows 8 was a bit of a learning curve but now it makes me even faster shifting between applications. Hope this is helpful.

I would assume that it is. It suits my needs perfectly, but I'm not a gamer. The added processor & memory sure can't hurt.
