is it good for running editing programs and also recording games

Well, I haven't used for both as yet.But I would say, take Lenovo.. that's better anytime.. Even HP is better than this laptop. I took this because it had an SD Card Slot + a DVD Player and Windows 8 and I7 Intel Processor with 8GB RAM and 1TB of Hard Drive Memory and it was cheap at Amazon for all these features.But the handling of the computer is not smooth.. Also no touch screen.. The laptop restarts every now and then....

I actually dont use it very much for all of those program, my brother uses it for those purposes and tells me it is great. I mostly use it for gaming that involves 3d animations and such. Overall it is great and also looks sleek

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.

It most likely performs well with games that don't require too much video RAM. But intense games that use or depend on the the video GPU would run sluggish. Try to look for a laptop with at least an i5 (dual core) or i7 (quad) processor. As well with dedicated video RAM (GPU) w/at least 1GIG.

To be honest, I haven't used it for that too much. I have done some music editing, and it seems to work just fine. I use my tower at home for most of my video work, this is just a travel machine.

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.

If you plan on doing basic stuff with your computer you should be fine with the integrated video it has, BUT... if you plan on using Photoshop, editing or gaming, you should buy a video card. ( I'm a harcore gamer and i got this motherboard + EVGA GTX 670... It's a beast <3)

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.

That mostly depends on the software you get, but the hardware is more than able to use that software to edit video with minimal lag.

I haven't tried using the processor for video editing. So, I don't know the answer to your question. However, I do watch youtube videos and haven't any problems. I think its a good fast processor. Have you tried reading AMD's website? Maybe, it can provide you with more insight about the processor's capabilities. I'm sorry, I couldn't provide you more information

The short answer is no. Mine came with 750 meg of ram and I had to upgrade that just to run the programs for my job. Its good for word processing and basic web surfing but I don't think it would be good for games.

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

Yes! It works EXCELLENT with design programs. I edit videos and photographs and it runs so smoothly with the programs.

I have a Dell Inspiron notebook that I use it with. I have only used it to run other types of programs, haven't tried any games. Probably would depend on game specs if it would satisfy the requirement.

Yes. I have it in my PC and I use Photoshop, various 3D modelling programs, and games extensively. My setup is benchmarked at >1800, iirc, and handles most games at >100 FPS. Doesn't flinch at my other utilities either. I do have a lot of other powerful stuff in here though.

I think it will run your games great. I have install two of these in new computers and they run the high end games that the person wanted to run.

Given how powerful it is, I doubt there is much you can't do with it. I read an article in a gaming magazine that rated it...and while it is not a gaming machine...most notably it's size, it still runs them quite well, though maybe not at all the very high end graphics. If it can do that, I would not worry about any office type programs you could throw at it.
