Is this laptop good for game capturing 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!

This laptop is works great with programs like photoshop, running smoothly even when I use tons of high resolution layers. I have not had any experience with video editing but I do not foresee it being problematic. It has the i7 processor which is something that would be very helpful for video editing and also has the very nice GTX760 graphics card, which though not the best out there, is still not shabby and I would expect it to be at least sufficient for video editing. It also has two slots for RAM so if the 8 GB doesn't end up being enough you can replace the RAM it comes with to get up to 32 GB of RAM.

This might be overkill for that.....you could find a nice cheap laptop or something for that. This is more of a mid grade gaming/audio production pc

Oh yes. Definitely good for games. I play TF2, Minecraft, Tekkit, and various other steam games. They all run great. For the price this is definitely the best gaming laptop out there. I actually got it for 375 (not including tax) at Best Buy as an open box deal! I suggest looking there.

Most games rely mainly on processor power and seeing that this laptop has an AMD 2.7 GHz it should run most modern games at high (maybe not extreme) settings. Not to mention the turbo boost which activates automatically when needed. 4 GB of ram is the average amount needed to run most games today so it should be fine, however I personally recommend upgrading it to 8 GB when you get it. You can do this yourself or bring it to a computer shop.

Yes and yes. It's a fast machine. But you'll need a graphic's card if you want to play most games. I don't play on mine, but I have a friend that does.

I think it would be fine for photo editing. I actually sent back the one I ordered because I liked the color on my HP better. It seems to work well for all graphics, though I'm not a gamer. I did watch a couple of movies and they were fine, but not good enough to make me give up my HP which I use primarily for photography.

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.

I don't do games. This computer seems to do well with memory. It has on board graphics and it doesn't have room for expansion cards if you need better. Super graphics seems to be important to gamers. It has worked well for me doing video and audio recording and editing, accounting and publications with picture editing.

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.

I don't use mine for gaming. I would assume the processor would have difficulty with such applications. I would recommend something with a quad core at a minimum.

It should do ok with those programs but I haven't used them much on it. There is a good amount of ram and everything that I have run so far that has been fairly intensive has worked well. I would recommend this laptop to pretty much anyone. Great deal for a great product.

Yes. Skyrim should work well on this laptop. I currently play World of Warcraft and haven't had any issues. The requirements don't differ much.

This laptop can easily run it even when using higher-level graphics settings. However, if you're planning on running more upscale games in the future, swapping out the graphics card would be recommended.

I can only speak for the AMD Graphics Card version of this laptop. This laptop exceeds my expectation when it comes to games. With some graphics options twist you can get a really good experience and fps with your games. You won't be getting 60fps but a stable 30fps in a lot of games. You will see some lag if there is more going on but that quickly goes away. In regards to multimedia use this machine is a beast. You can do everything from gaming, movies, word-processing, and online use all at once, seriously. I do not know how the NVIDIA performs but I can say I am more than satisfied with how AMD's switchable graphics performs. I would recommend, if possible, to upgrade to a faster hard drive. I found that load times can take a little longer than you want them to but you will get used it. I would recommend looking at this version of the laptop which has a dedicated graphics card and may improve your gaming experience. http://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-V5-552G-X414-15-6-inch-Laptop/dp/B00DKFFLMY/ref=pd_sim_pc_5

Yes! It's a standard laptop. I wouldn't recommend it being used for graphically intensive programs, but it can run pretty much anything.
