how good is it for video/music editing and basic gaming?

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 have had this laptop for a couple of years now and it has worked fine for me, i use this laptop to do my college homework on it. I have never done anything on it with editing videos but i believe there are programs you can download to edit videos on this laptop if you would be interested in looking that up to be totally sure, if you would want to go another way some other great laptop brands that are really good are HP, Acer, Asus, and Lenovo

If all you're doing is editing pictures, I'd recommend a cheaper laptop, but if you're going to be using this for games, rendering, large video projects, ect. This is what you want.

For me, It's a very good card. I don't do any gaming but use it for video and it does a great job.

Fast enough for gaming and other stuff... Should be fast for the "YT"... I don't know what it is by the way... If it is YouTube then yes it is quite good for that.

I would say not...it is a good basic laptop, at least for me, but I would say very unlikely to handle gaming

Yes its good, but not great. It also depends on which software program you're using for your video editing. Many software programs use GPU acceleration and use the CUDA cores in the GPU to speed up video editing. The GTX 765M has 768 CUDA cores which is a nice amount. If your video editing is hobby or amateur it will do a good job. If you're a professional then you may want to get a computer with the 770M, 780M, or even a Quardo instead of a GeForce.

yes, should play just fine, just won't have all of the bells and whistles that a high-end desktop would. for another 45 bucks, you can go to Kingston and buy 2 4gig sticks of mem for an easy upgrade!

Good enough if you are going to edit videos for hobby but if you want it for professional stuff is better to choose another to be honest, And well remember video editing has to see too with the RAM and Processor...

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.

yes it is overkill but it's a great board. since u are doing video editing u would need a powerful graphics card. i would recommend an asus m5a97 because it has most of the same features as this board and would serve u well. the only real difference is overclocking capability and the ability to have multiple graphics cards which nobody really needsl. if u pair this with a fx 6300, a corsair cx 500 or 600 watt power supply and a rosewill challenger u3 case you would have an excellent gaming/video editing build. gaming and video editing require the same hardware setup for the most part. then just get the best graphics card to suit your needs. also a word of advice DO NOT cheap out on ram. get something from corsair or gskill or another top tier brand. avoid crucial and team. get 1600mhz or 1866 ram it does not cost much more and it's worth it. hope this helps you. good luck

If you are doing any type of video editing I would suggest an i7 because of the hyperthreading. But, don't sell the i5-4690k short it's still a very good processor especially for gaming. It will still handle most editing just not as well. If you are more focused on editing I'd wait and go for a 4790k. i5-4690k is amazing for gaming though.

Yes, but it very basic you can watch videos and regular computer stuff, but won't be able to play any games... For youtube and photoshop and things like that it's good enough.

Flawless. Not many can perform flawless but I can tell you as I use it for a media production pc it runs adobe cc after effects and other adobe products exceptionally well. For the money you can't beat it's performance.

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 think this laptop is designed for playing games and watching movies or sth, so it is good for games, but not the biggest ones which need very high hardware configuration. For normal work, I think it is suitable too.

I have it, for the price its an excellent base to build with. USB 3.0 DDR3 1866 support, etc. For Gaming, the GPU is most important
