Yes this is quality product for streaming and recording the only thing I would add would be a video card for gaming graphics which for playing games you always should

I use it for streaming at 1080P. I only use it for that nothing else loaded on the system.

I don't use it for gaming but, it does maintain a constant streaming of video without any interruptions. Its speed remains constant at the 300Mbps on the 5gz band. I would think it would work reasonably well for gaming.

Yes deo finitely. For movie streaming and recording games are perfect, I watched lots of netflix and played lots of online game. It worked like a charm.

Why would you want to? Get a cheap usb mic and start gaming. This mic is for recording music.

Depends. If you're going to be recording things in SD (NES, SNES, PS1/2, Xbox, Wii etc) it's a good little device, though quality wise it does have some interlacing issues at time. If you want to record in HD (PS3/4, Xbox 360/One, Wii U) this isn't a great choice, as it's max resolution is 480p. If you're looking for high definition capture your best bet is to get either the Roxio, AverMedia, or Elgato, but they aren't cheap ($100+).

its decent for it. its got integrated graphics which kinda sucks, but itll play things like skyrim on low settings, if you want to use that as a benchmark. i havent noticed any overheating problem. i personally use it for gaming as im a twitch streamer and this is my main rig atm.i havent really tried newer games on it as much. it has slowdown with dolphin (gamecube/wii emulator) but runs things like Skullgirls no problem.

You can get hardware that allows you to record onto the computer. The hardware is a memory hog. Or maybe it is software.

I don't recommend livestreaming with this camcorder. Not very mobile and very sensitive. I highly recommend a logitech c920. It's the best!

If you like Android gaming or emulation it's still worth it. I can use the streaming feature, but I personally use it to play Android and emulated games more than streaming from my PC.

Overkill for Gaming... I use it to record audio for PodCast and building training pages...

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!

I believe so. My son uses it and plays many new games on high. I can't speak to those exact games though.

Yes. Use it for recording while your child writes his or her site words, multiplication tables, etc.

You need an elgato game capture to record. This just gives you more HDMI ports.

If he has been around any type of video games i.e. DS etc... It is just like an android phone without the phone feature. If he has played games on a cell phone then he should be fine. I wanted to keep all of electronics on the same platform is why I choose this for my son. It is a little slow on the boot up. But you have access to both Google Play and Amazon apps which gives you a lot more choices. The other thing is is that I get a weekly report of usage and downloads via email. Hope this helps.
